mary1947 2,082 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Adverts that are selling colour for ladies hair. It always show's long flowing hair giving the impression that your hair will look just the same colour as the model. What they forget to say is that if you have long hair, then you will need at least 2/3 bottle's of the colour to make your colour even. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 #585 mary1947, I was a "Bottle Blonde" on and off all my life until a few years ago when I decided to give it a try being natural. A little help from the silver highlights I have acquired now has kept my hair from looking to dark, so for now it passes. Just! Your right about long hair needing more than one box of dye. The adverts make it sound so simple. Ok with short hair but you have to be quite dedicated to keep your hair from going brassy blonde and they don't say anything about the never ending battle with the 2/3 weekly roots touch up Silver Surfin' is OK for me now! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Being a once upon a time hairdresser I used to be all sorts of colours. Chemo made a big impact and I'm now grey and short haired ( in fact very short) but I love it. How is it that face creams are supposed to make you look 20 when they are represented by 20 yr old models. We have not all fallen from the christmas tree. Come on cosmetic firms be more realistic. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 It seems to be the over 60's who are the worst. Bloated, uncouth, shaven headed, heavily tattooed ex skinhead bovver boys. Matched with a nice twin tipped slim fit Fred Perry got to admit it's a good look? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Watched Monday's MOTD last night, and yes, the Lineker interview was stomach churning. Why on earth do people prostitute themselves endlessly just to be on the box ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankypig 457 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 What peed me off on Thursday ,waiting around in opticians(Boots) 3hrs being tested on different machines,then they put wrong address on prescription.Had to go back next day and wait about another 3hrs to get it changed and be subjected to high pressure sales talk,the woman gave in eventually when she knew I wasn't interested.All I wanted was a decent pair of glasses.I will stick to my old opticians in future. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

catfan 14,793 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 School "staff training" days ! Don't make me laugh. I used to deliver to schools all day long in a previous life & on training days the teachers would be sat with feet up drinking coffee & watching a video ! Funny thing was that the training day always fell on a monday after a nice relaxing weekend off. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hate It!.Doing this job is when I practice my swear words, and believe me, there are quite a few! Crystals dropping off, little gold colored clasps dropping off, sometimes together, sometimes single, sometimes a whole string at B..... once. Up the ladders, down the ladders. Groveling around on the carpet searching for them. This goes on for two ceiling and two wall chandeliers. GRRRR. I honestly blame Charlie Pride, It's his fault. He sang the song that made me want some. In the 70s? or sometime around then. OK Job done. Feeling Relaxed now. OH, They look so nice and sparkly.

FLY2 10,108 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I can't help but laugh when I see supposedly intelligent adults either having just taken their kids to school, or going to collect them, and they are carrying a little bicycle or one of these abominable scooters. Make the little beggars walk. Also, these stupid roller boots girls have. Downright dangerous. One came skidding round the aisle in Tescos at Top Valley on Saturday and crashed into the front of my trolley. I was going to moan, but as she started howling, I declined the temptation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
