So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

I allow £25 a month for haircuts.

Then spend it on vehicle parts!

I use a set of wahl hair clippers too... Had them for over 20 years, had to put 1 new blade on in that time.

Nose hairs.. Well. I used to smoke, and once filled my lighter, and somehow managed to turn the flame up full. Lighting a dout, the flame went straight up my nose, stung a bit, but didn't have any nose hair on that side fir ages!

Go to a Turkish barber. They flame them off. And they're cheap.
I had that done along with a shave in Egypt but at a Turkish barbers.
The shop owner decided to use me as a Guinea pig for his apprentice.
The shave was great but the flaming cotton bud lark resulted in a burnt ear, a row, an unpaid bill, threats made with a cut throat razor & the Police being called!

Buy a sub £5 electric clipper @BAD LUCK DUCK.
Chas is trying to get you arrested! 😳

My youngest speaks highly of them. If I had more room in the kitchen for another device I'd be tempted but you can't fry anything wet like battered fish so it'd never replace the big oil fryer.
Will it make chips from potato? As opposed to frozen pre blanched chips?

Yup. Dug to cooked last night in 30 mins. Blanched in boiling water and tossed in smattering of lard before crispy brown.
