The third and last of my rabies shots this morning. Bring on the vampires and ghouls haunting this time of year; I'm protected. £285 well spent.

Market idea? Advertise the leeches as a source of protein. They'd do well in a stir fry.

You're not the first person to suggest them. I keep meaning to look them up. It's not that we generate a lot of ironing. It's just that I get around to doing it every few weeks.

Been there. Did that on my favourite shirt. That's when I decided to learn how to do it properly, which you can't do with modern irons.

I've just gone through 3 Scam Secrets episodes. Ironing is a learning experience about fraud.

No need to. Just emptying pockets (after washing) does the trick. I must remember to do it before the wash tho.
