My tub of Proraso Shaving Soap is pretty much empty and I'm looking to buy something else this time (it does a good job but the residue it leaves on everything annoys me to no end). Where do we stand on soaps, guys? It seems I'm looking at Mitchell's Wool Fat, Bluebeard's Revenge and one of the...

So what you're essentially saying is that based on your sample size of one you've concluded it's impossible for anyone to find it more comfortable to run barefoot therefore the above poster must be lying?

Always best to make sarcastic remarks from inside your own little bubble of reality than appreciate the gains made by other people eh :rolleyes:

I hate it when I'm talking to anyone, anywhere and they answer their mobile! I don't mind an "Excuse me, I've got to take this" to tell the person you will call them back but when people just start a conversation on the phone it makes my blood boil :p I don't know if I have it backwards but...

This can be perfectly legal. It's not a common way to charge interest (in fact, I've not heard of it being used outside of sub-prime lending) but some lenders will calculate the charge for credit based on the interest to be paid and add this to the balance at the start of the term. Thus you pay...

Health issues put down to a myriad of things but the one you decide is causing it is their salt intake? Because that's definitely not what has been found to be the issue with the last 50 years of medical advice regarding salt intake :confused: I'll trust modern medical research, thanks.

I eat 'too much' salt according to most people and I don't see any reason not to. Most of the research traditionally linking 'excessive' salt intake with illness is now beginning to be thought of as a well-intended mistake (on several fronts, really). So nerr, I like my salt and you're not...

This looks pretty cool. Are you aware of any UK based forums for this sort of thing? I'd like to look into it a bit further if possible!

Yes.

So wait a second, the diet consists of "eat a shedload so when you poop it all out in the first few days it looks like you're losing loads of weight when actually you're just paying for useless rubbish while virtually starving yourself (which you can of course do without paying us for the...

So instead of swallowing the £200.00 in case of the debt being unrecoverable, you suggest handing over a 10% commission to a debt recovery agency plus any other fees (court fees, tracing fees, administration fees) they themselves will add on top to do exactly the same thing? Makes sense. P.S...

This is completely pointless. Just send a final warning giving them 14 days to respond and take it through the courts yourself. This way you're not paying out needlessly. Once through the courts, you will either be given a payment offer or judgment will be issued against the debtor and you...

Devonport is awful and Keyham is also pretty bad (what with it bordering North Prospect aka Swilly aka Scumville). I would personally suggest looking outside of Plymouth and commuting in. There are a fair number of developments built specifically for this purpose. If you must live in Plymouth...

For me, Papa Johns is the king of takeaway pizzas. I find Pizza Hut to be much too greasy and I find Dominoes a bit 'meh' and not worth the money. Papa Johns on the other hand I could happily eat every day and their sides are awesome!

I eat a fairly healthy diet but I have two vices: Papa Johns pizzas (and more importantly sides) and McDonalds burgers. Whether they be cheeseburgers, double cheeseburgers or quarterpounders I don't care; I'll wolf them down all the same. I feel bad about it but if I get McDonalds I will...

I'm looking at buying a bike for £200 to £300 but I'm a bit unsure as to which type to buy. It'll generally get road/paved trail use but there are some sections of trail that are gravel so I don't think a road bike would be the best idea. I've spoken to a friend and it seems like I have two...

As [TW]Fox said, the score is meaningless. No lender will pay Experian for it and neither should you. And no, you won't get anything for free. You can get your Statutory Credit Report but credit agencies will charge £2.00 for it and it doesn't include the aforementioned useless credit score.

You should start small not just because of the skin on your feet (although it is brilliant at preventing you from doing too much too soon) but also because of the alterations in the way you run. Your lower leg is used very differently when you run barefoot and if you don't start slowly you will...

I'd still suggest you take a look at barefoot running as it has improved my efficiency and my enjoyment immensely :) If you want to go shod do not go to likes of Blacks or JJB Sports etc. You should go to either a local running shop with experienced staff or a podiatrist to have your gait...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abebe_Bikila#1960_Summer_Olympics :p Whilst a completely valid question, you need to appreciate that the minimalist movement has only really started to pick up momentum in the last couple of years. Prior to this, running shoe manufacturers have been convincing...
