There's nothing 'accidental' about it, it's just another expression of the narcissistic and exhibitionist streak in some folk.
Long may it continue, as long as it's not fat ugly guys.

I'm amazed at how many clueless bog fitters there are out there. With very few exceptions, most bog seats can be positioned so they don't crash down (some designs preclude this, of course), but yer average bog git just belts it on any old way with no thought at all.

I hadn't been drinking sugary Coke or any sugary drinks for a couple of years, preferring the diet versions (diabetes), but when I started vaping I noticed my consumption of even those had plummeted. I don't bother with them at all now, just occasionally buying one here and there as whimsy takes me.
Can't say I miss them much, either - look up 'false calories' and be surprised how the body is fooled by diet drinks and the negative side-effects.

Well, I asked if the cool blonde could be posted to Ireland and how much.

This is the one I'm thinking of; it is the cheapest I've found, of its type. I think the battery pack is 4x18650 in 2s2p internally, but it comes in a handy pouch and if necessary, easily replaced, as I doubt the supplied cells are all that good for the price being asked.

Indeed there are, and I've no doubt a lot of them are true, in spite of the disbelievers, because where there's a buck to be made, you will find grubby little bleeders exploiting others to make it.

Relatedly, I've been buying laptop batteries for re-cycling cells in use in my lights, and by getting only reputable makers' own batteries I've been harvesting good quality Sony and Sanyo cells from them, most of which are taking a good charge and, more importantly, holding it.
Now, if I were to do that on a slightly more business-like scale I could get away with re-selling these as half-decent cells in a new wrapper - just rate them slightly less than original and nobody would think much of it.

I just use lard.
I occasionally use mayo light as a spread on bread when I've run out of marge, it works well enough to lube the bread.
Sometimes, like once a year, I'll take the pork or beef dripping and fry up a slice or two in that, or (heaven) fry a couple of eggs in it. That way I transport myself back to my granny's kitchen where such things were everyday occurences and tasty fried food was the norm - if deadly.
