    I enjoy ironing now. I will never have to wear a suit or a shirt, but these days I can make a choice to dress smartly. I am off to a festival this weekend and have just ironed a load of shirts so they’ll look clean and crisp.

    I have always taken changes of clothing when going dancing as I have found stinky people on the dance floor off putting. Used to gauge how good a night had been by how many garments had been swapped out because they had been sweated through.

    But now I am taking tidily pressed shirts? I kind of despair at who I have become in sober old age.

  • Really? I judge a good night out by what time of the next morning I'm still soaked through (from sweat, piss, blood... it all counts)

  • I'm the ironer in our house, my mum started making us do our own school shirts from the age of about 14. I only really iron work shirts, but if my wife needs something ironed, it's me that does it.

  • What's ironing?

  • Picking up on the teeth-chat @stevo_com, I've done 15 weeks/sets of Invisilign, and now have another 6 weeks/sets to get the more wayward pegs into final position. Been dead straight-forward, relatively low intervention, and quite interesting seeing the tech. Being flown around a 3D render of your teeth, the 3D printing, and even the adhesive bits are all novel to me, so appears relatively good value in the grand scheme of things.

    No idea how severe/structural things are for you, but ask around, get some recommendations, and it's worth going for an evaluation for suitability. Mine were crooked and quite mis-aligned, some really recessed, and I've been impressed how much they shifted in a relatively short space of time, plus the level of service through Invisilign - and as @inchpincher said they have payment plans. You do have to wear a retainer after the aligners are done, but the type/duration depends on how 'fluid' your teeth end up at the end of the re-alignment. No idea what mine will be, but I'm game for it all. I've been going somewhere in Catford, more than happy to pass on info if helpful.

    best,

  • The I-ron is something new in the apple meta verse

  • Cool. I'll go to the apple shop in the Arnadale next week and ask about it there.

  • Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

  • I know the hydration thing really effects my blood pressure, which is high.

    Can you contact the cardiologists to see if they will accept the data and borrow someones?

    Am trying to give positive info to help as rather nothing happened to you.

  • An ironed T is so good though. It just looks better. I love an ironed T shirt.

    The part I'm not sure about is "festival" it fills with dread now

  • I am lucky, helping out at the Love Dancin stage at We Out Here so we have a proper sound and a wooden dancefloor. So it's not quite as bad as a normal festival experience.

  • I am the only competent Ironer in our house, can heartily recommend buying a Steam Station type iron

    Trenchman?

  • But then you realise a spoon is just as good for the task anyway...

  • I don't know what that means. Should I have googled it? It's not like they can add me to MORE watchlists.

  • we have crew wristbands that get us access to nicer toilets, and quieter spaces. So it's not quite as bad as a normal festival experience.

    Ftfy hopefully.

  • Artist camping area yurt darling!

    (Golf and tofu threads here I go)

  • Learned on here, although I forget the thread (and I wish I could forget the entire concept), about a man/person who spent a lot of time in a London kink club, specifically in a trench that served as a urinal in the men’s loo.

  • Perhaps it was Trough man*, not Trench man?

  • (Applicable meme)

    Someone with a better grip of the search function here might find the relevant thread.
