If you glue a rodent to your upper lip, is that a mousetache?

And then if you accidentally swallow it...
...is it a mouse stash?

That comment has a (NSFW) double meaning in Norwegian...
"Mouse", in Norwegian, is a slang term for certain female body parts.
The mouse should be at least 16 years old, if you want to touch it with your lips.

You try it first. You can be the guinea pig. Hopefully it doesn’t look too ratty.

That would be a shrewd move.

Personally, I prefer a small piece of black tape. There's a little store in West LA that specializes in this sort of thing, but all they ever give me is lip service.

First post in many many years... and things have changed.
He has my good looks, my dislike of mornings and a better English accent... him being English and me French - it's tense during the 6 nations.
And he is my son, 14 of age... but probably already more mature than I ever was.
He has been learning Python at school for a year or so - that and pseudo-code.
He now wants to have a go at programming games. And he'd like a book for Christmas. I am a C++ programmer but I have not touched game programming since the days of Oric 1, Zx spectrum and Atari 800 when I programmed in Basic (ahem if this comes out, I know it's you!) and (some) assembler.
What should I advise him to read and learn?

This book[^].
The main site has several other books online for free, but this I feel is the first book to read and implement.

Yes - it looks cool - I have watched a few tutorials and that seems very elegant! Thanks

Two hours on the damn phone.
Paypal have sent me emails recently saying my bank rejected payment - at first I assumed they were phishing, but ...
No, paypal has been trying to get money from my account - genuinely, I've bought stuff - via the same method they have been doing for 10 years, a bank direct debit mandate. Only on some requests, they are saying the bank declined it.
So I contact the bank: nope, we have declined nothing, and there is no reason we should.
Paypal: Tbank declined.
Bank: No we didn't.
Paypal: Yes they did. Here's the transaction IDs
Bank: News to us, we never saw 'em.
Paypal: Yes they did.
Bank: No, they never arrived here.
Paypal: Yes they did, and the bank declined them.
Me: Will you please talk to each other and sort this out?
Bank: No. Technical people can't be contacted by phone.
Paypal: No. And you still owe us £20.07.
Me: Fer elephants sake ...
Paypal: We ask 'em for it, they said no.
Bank: No They didn't.
Me: Oh FFS...
Result: I've cancelled the mandate, paid teh £20.07 directly, I'll set up a new one and hope that lot all works.
Why can't these companies have a technical level that can actually look at what is going on and sort them out?
