I've noticed...
« on: February 10, 2013, 16:43:44 PM »
With all the rain we have had over the last few days in Calis I've noticed that more motor cyclists are wearing crash helmets.  Is this because:

a) The wet and slippery roads from the rain could cause an accident, and so a helmet, whilst not normally worn, is now a must.

or

b) The helmet keeps your hair dry, and so when the rain stops the fashion conscious motor cyclists can return to the more normal hair to the air style. 8) 8)

I think we should be told.

Definitely wet hair is more frightening to them than brain damage.

I noticed (on the subject of rain)

That if the dark grey clouds start to gather inland (in the east) - forget it, they probably won't even make it to Calis. If they start to gather directly out to sea (to the west), get inside and quickly :D

I've noticed that a bottle of Hardy's Shiraz has dropped from 50TL in Migros/Carrefour to 39TL in Carrefour a couple of days ago and, rather irritatingly as I thought I had got a relative bargain in Carrefour today is down to 32TL in Migros.

On the other hand I failed to notice that some inbred little runt had popped a box of cheep battery hen eggs into the significantly more expensive organic egg carton until I got home. The language in my kitchen was fowl  >:(

Glad I'm drinking Hardy's Shiraz at £4.15. Makes up a bit for the miserable weather.

Things aren't as bad as I thought Nichola - 50 TL for Hardy's Shiraz? I clearly remember it being 50TL in Gima in 2004. A bottle of Hardy's shiraz was over double the price of a bottle of vodka!
