How's your day?

Wish I was 18 again and had it

boy ,  would I flaunt it.

[Beekay 5,149]

Tell you what !! I once complimented a young lady on her lovely blue corduroy jeans and she gave me a right clout round me ears.

I didn't know she was wearing shorts, and had varicose veins.

@LizzieM  I think we may have to ‘agree to disagree’ on this particular subject.   Just as people have different body shapes, so we all have our different opinions on lots of things.  What I said was just my opinion on something I feel very strongly about, so I hope we can agree to differ on this……

I’ll try not to mention it again…. I know I’m in the minority on this subject. X

Go for it Mary dont let fear stop you Mary us old uns need a bit of spice you know.

My personal view is that apart from health concerns in some cases,  I really don’t care what shape people are but that there is absolutely no excuse for leaving the house looking slovenly. My mother was a shining example of looking as neat as a new pin wherever she went.

[MelissaJKelly 2,121]

Hey Margie. I'm with you on this one. I saw lots of people dressed 'inappropriately' whilst out in town yesterday and although it wouldn't be my choice - if they feel good in it - good for them! It doesn't define who someone is. Think we all need to be a bit less judgemental and let people be.

Yes @MargieHthose people may well be the nicest people imaginable but that doesn’t mean we need to see them dressed inappropriately to their body size/shape.  I like to see men in shorts (in warm weather) so long as they have good legs, I’m a ‘leg’ person.  I think too many females leave the house without looking in the mirror, bare flabby mid-riffs, big bottoms, short skirts with awful fat legs.   Myself, I am happy to wear shorts because my legs are still good, but the shorts are just above the knee, not up the crotch.  But I’ve got scraggy arms and won’t leave the house in sleeveless gear.  It’s all about pride in your appearance isn’t it?

Agree entirely Lizzie........despite what i say about men in shorts......if they are clean and have good legs good luck to em......its the scruffy generally older men who i can't be doing with...especially if showing 'Ugly feet''........i believe in looking smart...makes me feel good anyway....and my ''Bobby Moore's'' still look good.......

It just seems strange that the grossly obese that I see in Morrisons need to have a tattoo on their exposed parts. The tattooist does have a broad canvass to work on though.

They would need a lot of ink too.

When they’ve spent hundreds of pounds at the Tattoo Parlour they’re going to make sure everyone sees the artwork.  A good friend of ours had tattoos on his forearms when he was a lad.  By the time he reached his 30s he hated them and spent several thousands at a laser clinic getting them removed …… the coloured ink was removed but he was left with lumping skin, still very evident and he’s 80 this year.  
 

[philmayfield 6,138]

Why do I see tattoos in Morrisons and not in Waitrose?

[Jill Sparrow 10,307]

Tattoos, ugh!  They involve needles and we all know how I feel about needles.  As far as I'm concerned, if we were meant to be covered in graffiti or have holes in our ear lobes/other locations, we'd be born with them.  I'm trying to work up courage to face my annual thyroid blood test next week.  It involves a close encounter with... A needle!

Needles How many of us like them? it might be the thought of some one sticking it in, just when you visit the dentis he's another needle pusher.

Having a tattoo doesn’t really hurt - it’s just a slight burning sensation..

I love my tattoo as it’s an illustration of my faith, and who I believe in.  I designed it myself for this reason.

Again, ‘each to their own’

 

Are we going to start discussing piercings now?  

Or ‘jewels’ on teeth?  (I haven’t  got any of those  )

 

[Beekay 5,149]

I hope not Margie. I know of some ladies who have piercings in the most intimate places. And no, I've not seen em. (They were/are carers at the special school where I worked).

[philmayfield 6,138]

I must confess I have a few gold teeth - but very discrete. I don’t look like a Chinese restaurant proprietor!

[MargieH 7,600]

Beekay, I didn’t say I had no piercings - just that I didn’t have jewelled teeth!

[Beekay 5,149]

It's always fascinated me. Why do people choose gold teeth as opposed to whatever materials are normally used? Is it comfort, practicality or vanity? Honest, a genuine query.

[philmayfield 6,138]

My dentist suggested it and I went along with it. He was very creative. The main benefit of gold teeth is durability. He was Secretary of the local dental association, Dean of Leeds University Dental School and my first flying instructor. Had a few wives as well!

[MargieH 7,600]

I had a gold filling on a back tooth once.  It was an NHS dentist who asked if I would like it.  He said it would last much longer than a standard filling.  It would have lasted forever had not the tooth become loose.  I had to have the tooth taken out but I kept it because of the gold!  Stupid I know but still got it somewhere…

The dentist who did it was soon to retire so perhaps he was using up the practice’s resources before he left?

[philmayfield 6,138]

That’s why undertakers wear lots of bling. When I arranged my mother’s funeral the guy was adorned with gold rings and bracelets. I wonder where that came from? 

[Jill Sparrow 10,307]

Butcher Acton of Gregory Boulevard had a number of gold fillings right at the front of his mouth. I don't suppose he did them himself. Given the number of patients he upset,including me, I'm surprised he didn't have a fist-shaped gap there!
