That Gillette advert that's on at the moment really winds me up.

A bunch of sporting stars go around beating men up, telling them need to stop using razors they're perfectly happy with, and should buy these more expensive ones.

The big selling point?
The blades are closer together.
Meaning that it's just about damn impossible to clean shaving gunk out from between the blades.

Bah, there's a reason men have stuck with the Mach3 Gillete, it's cheaper, easier to use, and feels just the same, and no amount of celebs flinging their balls at me will change my mind.

Speaking of razor blades, I need more shaving gel. So I'm off to Boots in Lower Marsh Street in a mo'.

I'll probably head down via Leake Street and see what's changed there. In the last couple of weeks a few cars have a appeared, and got slowly more colourful (with paint), and better ventilated (by smashed windows)
I'll probably stick my head in iKnit, I think I need to start on a new project, as my enthusiasm for finishing the fiddly bit of my hat waned, but simpler knitting is fun and relaxing. Maybe I'll make a little octopus or something weird and fun.

Finaly I think I'll go for a coffee, having run across this glowing review of Scooterworks and read the latest Plokta, which I managed to grab at the weekend.

{edit}
Looks like it was a busy weekend. Most of Leake Street is completely different. There was a couple of men with brooms clearing up what looked like the remnants of a bonfire party. There's a lot less stencil art, and lot more of the "classic" tags (huge multicouloured ones, but they're already starting to be covered with the crap sharpie ones). Most of the cars have gone. There was only one bumper left.
