Hair (0p)
Tears (0p)

Tear out clumps of your hair in frustration that the bastard Tories stopped your benny.
Put the hair in a chipped, dirty little bowl that you found on the street.

Its common sense really. Cant anyone do anything for themselves these days? For Christs sake.
Remove any excess hair from your hand. Make sure to do it properly, not all slapdash like foreigners and the young.

Remove hand from oven ring.
Leave hand to cool and then eat, feeling pleased with your own canny self-sufficiency – that bulldog quality which saw Britain through two World Wars.
Go to hospital.
