only the posh/rich could afford tinfoil hatswe poor had to make do with the knotted hanky(at the 4 corners)

not nice if you had a cold at the same time as wearing one

Okay. You can tell us how to knot a tinfoil hanky.

very hard if using calculus and formulae

Draw a diagram.

Looks great, Prof. Will be interesting to see how it looks tomorrow.

Btw, Dmitri, did you ever wear a tinfoil hat? I have done and it drives you nuts because of the noises it makes. It's nearly as bad as biting on tinfoil with a quicksilver filling.

from what I've seen, I don't like the new set up

Ahhh, wait and give it a chance.

I will

but I'm not buying a tin hat yet

Bel, does that mean you *have* worn a tinfoil hat?

Yes, more than once.

It's particularly nasty if you wear glasses.

May one ask on what occasion you were wearing this tinfoil hat?

What moved you to this action?

And what colour tinfoil you prefer?

Just your average silver tinfoil. I wear it when I dye my hair.
The process is as follows:

1. Put dye in your hair
2. Put hair up (mine is long) and fasten with a clip on top of your head.
3. Wrap tinfoil around it so all hair is covered.
4. Wrap round tinfoil hatted head to keep it all warm.
5. Wait for 30 minutes.
6. Remove and tinfoil, bin tinfoil.
7. Wash your hair.

An unsuspected use of tinfoil.

You would know if you had ever dyed your hair.

baste after each 30 mins and should get some good crackling or is that pork ?

Baste...with conditioner...

The other day at lunchtime, I walked passed a group of women standing outside having a smoke during the "wait 30 mins" stage of that process. I really wondered what was going on at first.

Roswell again maybe

Now, Prof. Just because it takes you less time to paint your head...

Do you use colours? Sheffield, maybe?
