I'm from The North, so I use two paper bags.

Oh, they aren't all two-baggers up there!
Except in Hull for some reason.

Two bags. That's one for her and one for you in case hers rips off?

Yeah, that's what I was implying, but constrained by the question was I.

I had no idea the distinction you mention existed.
Physically, they're the same object. Search Amazon for blindfold and you get S&M equipment and curiously a "show results for.." category of "Women's Erotic Accessories" at least until you search for sleep mask - then Amazon decides you are less fetish-y. Sleep mask is pretty much just sleeping equipment.

A sleep mask is for sleeping; a blindfold is for the sort of recreational activities whose existence caught you by surprise. 
Other than the latter possibly being harder to dislodge either completely or enough to let a bit of light in around the edges (some of this could be useful even if you only want one to hide from light) there aren't any functional differences.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

As long as you don't let her put a Gimp Mask on you things should be okay.

Kidnappings would be a whole less stressful in a sleep mask.

The first is something that you use to help you go to sleep.
The second is what is used before someone else puts you to sleep.

I'm still trying to combine "whole chicken" and sleep mask

Well there's your problem!
You only use the whole chicken with the blindfold!

Hi All,
Had a bit of quandary with Parents PC this weekend. It is an old(ish) XP box they got from me, that has been very loyal and is enjoying a hard earned retirement. The issue was the machine when powered on did the memory check displayed the POST screen got to the XP booting Splash and then powered off... pulled the tower out checked the vents for blockage (disturbed a spider colony clearing the fan on the side of the case!) finally got it too boot to safe mode then restarted it and got it too boot to XP cleanly, defragged the hard drive (not needed but..)
Looked it up on Google and found that the behaviour is usually the heat sink on the processor...  I have never needed to alter this can the processor, could it be this or has my google fu missed again.

Unlikely - unless you or someone else, this weekend or in the past, removed the cooler and heat sink and did not re-install properly. I've never seen the thermal bond between the cpu and the heat sink break down.
If this machine is as old as I think it is, I would suspect a failing power supply. It's a cheap fix.
