There was a woman at my last job called Niamh... how was I supposed to know that it's pronounced Neeve?

Should've asked me. (8+p Geekette's cousin's daughter (I know, don't ask) has her daughter called the same. Her Mum (my Mother-in-Law) had no idea how it was spelled until a couple of years ago. I think the child is now six. Every christmas card had the name incorrectly spelled. (8+) Mark

Fusion razor blades at Tesco are £9.16 a pack. They went on offer yesterday for 2 for £18.50
Good one Tesco!
I pointed this out (email) and they're sending me a £10 giftcard
Nice one Tesco!
I needed blades though so I switched to W/S Hydro 5 which are on 2 for £10 currently (so you can get a new razor with 2 blades and a spare pack of blades [4] for a tenner)
By the way I dont know if anyone uses Fusion but I had the one with the battery in (Fusion Power) but quickly learned that you dont have to buy the more expensive Fusion Power blades. The non-power blades are at least £3 cheaper and are no different apart from colour. It even says so on the back of the pack!

I emailed Game telling them they are advertising Reach for £32.99 or so but it's £35.99 on the site.

I just had to point out an offer at my local Tesco Express. £1.89 per bottle of coke/diet/zero or two for £3. Their till tried to charge me the full price. I pointed that out quickly enough. Didn't get ant freebies though.

No one said the word "offer" had to mean that it was better Disposable razors are expensive! How often do you have to change the blade?

I have a fairly cheap Artamis razor (from here). You have to keep it fairly sharp, I generally use the strop ever other shave and that works quite well. I have quite a thin strop and it takes a while to learn how to use it evenly, I'd like to get a wider strop but they are quite expensive. When I started I used shaving cream from a can, but now have shaving soap and use a badger brush. Not much difference, just adds to the experience.
