sunday Posted August 4, 2024 Posted August 4, 2024 For those fans of the Spanish Legion @Daan @TonyE Includes some rare footage of the Saharian Tercios, the Legion units garrisoning the Western Sahara - note the neck flap on the ros, the kind of kepi used in the Spanish Army.
DB Posted August 6, 2024 Posted August 6, 2024 Now, I do like a decent haircut every once in a while, but as I've aged I've found it much more cost-effective to buy a Wahl clipper and zip mine down to somewhere near the 20mm mark. If I want a treat, I'll go to the local Turkish barbers - they definitely do a better job than I can and they do that thing with the fire-on-a-stick ear hair singeing whilst they're at it. But I've never understood men who simply won't let women cut their hair. You're still in control, you get to choose a style if you care, they're not going to give you a pompadour unless you ask for it.

Reminds me of the scene in "From Russia With Love" when 007 is being led through a secret passage on his way to the periscope view of the Russian Embassy, and on the escape post crypto-heist. At about 2:55.

Ivanhoe Posted August 20, 2024 Author Posted August 20, 2024 Its not all that unusual to read tales like this, but this guy absolutely spikes the football on the teacher; The followup is heartening; https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/18896hw/my_sons_third_grade_teacher_taught_my_son_that_1/ Quote Update: The teacher got back to me and admitted her mistake which I'm grateful for. She said she was taught 1/0=0 back in the 90's. The comments section on the Reddit thread is depressing.
