    I've never really been tempted by the idea of shaving my legs, though the nice lady who helped me out recently on the roadside heartily recommended it (i don't think that I was hallucinating at that point). However I am starting to come to the idea of shaving shoulders. The reasons being that they are in the frontline of any roadrash incident and it's the devil's work to get a dressing to stay on under hairy conditions.

    You'd just want to get your shoulders waxed, no?

    Got to be easier, shaving legs is one thing, but you'd need to be some sort of (brave) contorsionist to do the back of your shoulders surely?!?

    Must be ways of doing this - look at bodybuilders, nary a hair on their bodies. Must get in the way of the mahogany spray.

    A woman at work had a dream she was walking up abbey hill and there was a huge queue outside a tanning shop. When she asked the man in charge what it was all about he said his uncle who worked for the council had opened a sunbed shop, turned out it was me. Anyway it is called Tannerife (I am filling in the details missing from the dream). Anyone working for the council gets two for one deal, anyone on here, all free. Best kit. At the moment an awful lot of cancelled appointments so you can just walk in.

    I like "Pierce Bronzen" in Cambuslang.

    Shaving isn't really worth it longer term, unless you really like shaving! Just get a bunch of wax strips from Boots to start off with and someone to help. Salon staff won't mind if you make an appointment.

    I was once told by a physio to come along with a 4x5 inch patch shaved off my leg for taping. I arrived with a big shaved patch and sat down on the bench. At this point the physio asked me why I had shaved my left leg when she would be taping my right (injured) leg. At this point I once again felt glad that I had not become a doctor.

    Presume pierce bronzen is sun beds and piercings. This is a better model,as with this sunny weather, my dream tanning salon is going bust. I can confirm that in the dream shopmwemwill happily wax cyclists' legs, shoulders and backs if required.

    I sympathise, after my reasonably upholstered forearms took a slicing in that unwise box incident.

    Perhaps a disposable razor should be part of the repair kit? I could easily have filled the time waiting in A&E with some elbow topiary, although in your case Kappers would have had to do it for you, and at that point it starts looking like modern art.
