Coupled with strangely coloured hair and tattoos that border on disfigurement is not a good look.morstar said:Cosmetic surgery for non-reconstructive purposes.
What the hell is it with these lips that are as fat as two cucumbers?
They looking censored horrible.1 -
I think it's a genuine shame that it has become normalised. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but I see many clearly attractive women who are ruining their looks imho. God only knows what long term messes they're making.ballysmate said:

Plus the ridiculous fake eyelashes - they genuinely make me feel a bit queasy when I see them. Agree that it is often people who are naturally quite attractive making themselves look worse, it seems utterly bizarre to spend thousands on your appearance to look worse than when you started!ballysmate said:

Another way of self harming.0

Not seen any woman whose looks have been improved by having a tattoo. 100% the reverse in fact.4

I know roughly where I am when summer temperatures are given in fahrenheit but don't have a clue once we get into winter temperatures. I actually checked the other day to find out where the 'common' point was (-40 I believe).surrey_commuter said:

Equally annoying, but only half the time, so better overall.surrey_commuter said:

Catches me out every year when a yank says it is very cold, just below zero.Pross said:

Actually a pleasant sunny day here in Scotland - must be somewhere over 290K outside.1

While watching the Eurosport (Mont Ventoux, good race) on this weekday afternoon, the sheer number of dodgy, borderline scammy adverts. Target audience? 🤔 let me think...
Particular example one from a well dodgy outfit called 'The London Mint Office' in a rather stiff upper Brit tone saying 'this is an official announcement from...' from a company which makes and markets their own (valueless) commemorative coins and suchlike shite. Zero to do with the Royal Mint but how many thicko lardy telly addicts get mugged?0 -
Massive televisions.
If you _need_ a 70" TV in your lounge, you actually need to look in the mirror and have a word with yourself.

I don't care how big someone's tele is but it does seem to be a truism that the least likely you are able to afford and then accommodate a massive tv in your house, the more likely you are to have one, probably on HP from Brighthouse or a catalogue.parryman said:Massive televisions.

It's an odd one. I was recently helping an elderly neighbour with his power supply bills as it is easier to do online and he doesn't use computing of any sort.parryman said:Massive televisions.

Anyway, while sat down on my laptop I noticed that the field of view on my laptop was bigger than on his @60-70" screen.
Saved me a fortune in not having to buy an oversized TV. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -
Inverse snobbery over TV sizes annoys me.

The Man Utd fan on my Facebook list who keeps gloating at Liverpool.
I think he has missed something quite important.
Also, not sure what level of ‘banter’ is common within football circles (I can hazard a guess mind) but it really does come across as very bitter.

The way packs of cleaning wipes seem to be designed so you can't take out an individual wipe and end up with a clump of them you don't need and have to push back into the pack.
Also, I haven't used my car for nearly two weeks so the wife has used it. I need it today and was informed I'd need fuel. Having just started it up it's lucky I have a petrol station within a couple of hundred metres!0 -
I really miss mine. It had an accident involving my toddler and a remote control.rick_chasey said:Inverse snobbery over TV sizes annoys me.

Plus, you can't buy plasma any more, OLED costs lots and LCD is worse.0 -
So much yes. Especially when the poo is going everywhere and the little one decides to scratch her bum the second the overfull nappy is opened.Pross said:The way packs of cleaning wipes seem to be designed so you can't take out an individual wipe and end up with a clump of them you don't need and have to push back into the pack.
