Eyebrows


I’m 64 in June
And I’ve just realised that I have eyebrows like 
Virgil Tracy
And could not have fitted through 
Thunderbird 2’s 
Ceiling slide

  1. Watching that clip, I wonder if that's where Nick Park got the idea for Wallace and Grommet's contraptions. What fun it would be to have a slide like that to get you to work? xx

  2. It's a cartoon John, lol. Looks scary anyway--and you'd not know how to pilot the ?plane? even if you were your skinny 20 year old self. Happy early birthday.

    I remember a very funny Billy Connolly ramble about all the strange places hair sprouts without permission as you get older. Very funny, but as you age you realise - all is true!

    I can't believe I wasted minutes of my life watching that rubbish. It makes me wonder how much time you waste on searching for such stuff.

      Great replies to Old Misery Guts, Team Gently! Thunderbirds was a vital part of our childhoods and inspiration. And don't get me started on all the hoopla currently surrounding He-Man, with the movie out in June!

  6. I always loved those eyebrows (or at least was always aware of them). My eyebrows have thinned as they’ve grayed. It pisses me off. You have something to work with, Virgil!

  8. I think I watched ALL the Thunderbirds episodes on after-school TV when I was a kid, but I must confess I don't remember that ceiling slide. But I DO remember those eyebrows, LOL. My condolences, John. Just remember -- brow waxing/trimming is available for men too.

  9. I've never seen that show. How times have changed.

  10. I loved Thunderbirds. My big brother even bought me a hard-back novel, goodness knows what happened to it, it might be worth a fortune now! Husband has the same eyebrow issues - scissors are the answer!

      Different generation but I loved the Mickey Mouse club and a cartoon called Tom Terrific. I could sing all the theme songs to both Mm and TT

    3. We still have my son's T2 in the loft, complete with the little yellow sub. Apparently they were most often lost 🤔

    4. It's terribly tatty now ( a bit like me ha ha).

    I'm with the Mickey Mouse Club generation but when our boys were young I found StarCom toys which were well made and versatile and much enjoyed til they were older.
    We also have MicroMachines.
    My eyebrows seem to be shrinking from the sides. Sigh!

    Hugs!

      Thanks, Jen, will do. Already have lupus, and wrote off my incredible fatigue to that.

  13. Eyebrows like Virgil Tracey? They were cut from a badger's arse and stuck on his brow with "Bostik". I would never have guessed that about your eyebrows John!

  14. I am 68 this month and my eyebrows have basically vanished! The joys of aging.

  16. hang on to those brows John, I had mine tattood as they all but disappeared as I got older! I loved Thunderbirds, their outfits, the way they talked, slowly and thoughtfully, never panicked in a crisis! Betty

  17. Gosh, that Thunderbirds clip took me back! My younger brother adored it, and I often sat and watched it with him. What a charming, simple, well mannered, well spoken world it was … with Presidential Presidents… if you get my meaning. I do wish eyebrows - bushy or lacking - were the worst of today’s problems!!

  18. Oh Thunderbirds, I loved it as a child and Stingray too. I would waft around singing 'Aqua Marina' driving my Mum mad.

    I love your latest spammer trying to sell us all parrots and macaws. ;-)

  19. I have old man eyebrows. I always have. They have NOT thinned with age. Weird but true.

  20. You're not alone, my eyebrows seemed to be getting longer and some of them even grow on my chin now:) Apparently it's wonky hormones as we age. Fuck.

  21. So funny to watch that today, having just heard the theme music at the Barbican last night!

    My eyebrows are out of control too. I trim them and still my brother comments on them every time he sees me.

    (The winner of the out-of-control-eyebrows competition, though, is Rowan Williams.)

  22. Você pega o mesmo ônibus que eu, você já fez bioinorgânica junto comigo, a primeira vez que você veio falar comigo foi ano e foi para ameaçar me bater. Mesmo sem eu ter feito nada contra você. Você devia ter cumprido a ameaça e me espancar até a morte. Morrer para mim é lucro, sofrimento para mim é ver uma pessoa violenta igual a você se dando bem na vida.

    Nada justifica a violência, a violência é à força do fraco, o fraco não tem argumento e nem autoridade para conseguir o que quer e tem que conseguir as coisas na base da violência.

    Depois que você ameaçou me bater, mesmo sem eu ter feito nada contra você, a sua amiga a Julia Tavares de Azevedo foi fazer queixa sobre mim, lá na coordenação da farmácia da UFRJ, por causa da queixinha que a Júlia Tavares de Azevedo fez sobre mim, algum FDP da coordenação da farmácia vazou as minhas informações pessoais para quem nem me conhece e nem estuda mais na UFRJ.

    Se esse FDP da coordenação da farmácia da UFRJ, que vazou as minhas informações pessoais, achou que iria me calar, não funcionou. Medo é para quem tem algo a perder, eu não tenho nada a perder, não sobrou mais nada para mim.

    Você devia pensar antes de se meter nos problemas dos outros.

    Você ainda faz iniciação científica com bolsa da FAPERJ no laboratório Roderick A. Barnes, será que o Alessandro sabe que você fica ameaçando os outros na faculdade?

    Você ainda fez estágio em farmácia comunitária, lá na clínica da família Rodolpho Rocco, será que você ameaçou os outros também lá?

    Você ainda está fazendo estágio em operações em pesquisa clínica na ARTHA Research e estágio em farmácia hospitalar no hospital municipal Francisco da Silva Telles, será que você fica ameaçando os outros nesses lugares também?

    Eu sei tudo sobre você, eu achei o seu perfil no Instagram, no Linkedin e no Lattes:

    https://www.instagram.com/gs_baarbosa/

    http://lattes.cnpq.br/0814134791537799

     

    Já que você foi homem o suficiente para ameaçar me bater mesmo sem eu ter feito nada contra você, você também é homem o suficiente para vir aqui na boca de fumo, que funciona na parte de cima da minha rua e mandar o traficante me matar, aqui em frente a minha casa funciona um ferro velho clandestino, que fornecesse material furtado para os traficantes fazerem barricadas. Melhor ainda, pega um fuzil com um traficante e dá um tiro na minha cabeça, morrer para mim é lucro, sofrimento é depois de tudo o que você fez comigo, eu ainda ser obrigado a ser da mesma turma que você das disciplinas de Citopatologia Clínica Aplicada e Toxicologia.
