restoration

hello there

not really (or quite) one of my moans about people what have gone done changed things which they should not have, to be honest. this is more a celebratory (albeit qualified, look you see) consideration of what appears to be someone putting things back to the way they were. or making a restoration of better times. 

i had reason to procure, or if you like purchase, some new shampoo. well, obviously new i suppose, for one would take as a given that there's not much of a second hand (or "pre loved") market for this. not that i was immediately "out" of shampoo, mind. the bottle i was currently using was close to a point of exhaustion, and i did have another ready anyway. but, well, one never knows what the next panic buy craze shall be, so i felt it best to get another.

delight, or sheer unbridled joy, descended upon me when i saw a most dearly beloved name back on the shampoo shelf. very much back where it belonged. yes, as you can (unusually) see above in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode, the greatest shampoo of all, timotei, is back. kind of. i looked and alas, no, the pinnacle of timotei shampoo, the one what has lemon in it, appears not to have been restored. but i shall accept this as a step towards a return to this. 

long term, if not regular, readers shall be aware that i am a devout discipline in the school of thinking that the best (greatest) shampoo ever is the type what has lemon shoved in it. this is based on a casual comment passed by Jason Donovan (that one) made in an interview in the 80s, when he revealed that he was partial to such shampoo. i have endeavoured to use this type (shampoo with lemon in it) ever since, but sadly most manufacturers of the stuff have ceased this practice. 

this is a purifying shampoo, then, as one can read (reasonably) clearly in the VHS mode image above. my thinking, or assumption, is that green tea extract (rather than just green tea) might be some sort of new century variation on lemon. granted, it may not be, but i am prepared to try. also i am prepared to look for the address details of timotei on the bottle and write to them, asking if they have plans to once again shove lemon into the shampoo what they do. 

slowly and only in a few ways it is so that a return to more sensible times comes. even if only briefly there was those instances where we got marathon bars and opal fruits back with proper names. the decision to bring back timotei is, however, a bit of a game changer. once again we, the people of this nation, can use a proper shampoo. bravo. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
