Now if she had Simon we would have reached a conclusion a page back surely?

Now... do you sugar or wax dear....


I can't answer your sugaring questions I'm afraid Brendan... but I think it's similar to waxing, so yes probably.


I used to use parcel tape in my teens .... I was terribly thrifty back then.

yes sugaring is essentially the same as waxing - only meant to be less painful - I haven't found it so. used by the ancient egyptians I believe, they were a smooth skinned bunch, way ahead of their time (got to be a better than a strigil for avoiding ingrowing hairs)


essentially it's like caramel, only I wouldn't recommend eating it - especially not after it's been used once

I think the leggings are a no no, they rarely look good on anyone.

Shouldn't really wear tights in June unless you really have to and the coloured ones don't really work either unless your under 25. As for the knee high socks again 21 and under.

BB, coming from Liverpool (very much like Newcastle in the fashion stakes) I know all the girls will be bare legged wearing little else and while you are trying to avoid that look, I think the best thing would be to build up your false tan. Go for the natural look of course, add your vintage strappy shoes and away you go.. Go for classy rather than trendy would be my advise

no I categorically can't have this.


Coloured tights are great, and the knee socks are fine worn with attitude. (wear them with bunches and it's just a bit pervy)


BB, I haven't seen you in the flesh, but if the earlier comment about your great sense of personal style is anything to go by, then I think you'll carry them off with aplomb.


Fake tan in Liverpool just runs the risk of looking a little, well, WAGish. I went for a night out in Manchester recently and there was so much fake tan and over-straightened hair that I thought I'd wandered onto the set of Hollyoaks

Okay, a confession, years ago I made the big mistake of letting my then girlfrend (a scouser for the record) talk me in to letting her "sugar" me before we went away on holiday. Basically you spread this thick goo on, which in itself bloody hurts, then put a cloth strip over it and pull off quickly.


IT F**KING HURTS!!!!!!!! Don't do it.


Since then I have worn my body hair and beer belly with pride... Bloody scousers! (6)

Ooooh - I had a lovely weekend, thank you very much and did East Dulwich proud.


But yes, it was a dilemma. I bought knee high socks as advised ... - but I got them home and my poor little legs were so short that really there were no knees to be seen and they looked decidedly odd with the silk dress. Agggghhhh!


So then I moved onto fake tan...Neutrogena nourishing glow...and got myself a lovely pedicure. Decision made. Or so I thought...


For as I sat on the train it started to rain and once I hit the North the bitter wind made me breathe a sigh of relief that nestled in my baggage was a pair of black 40 denier tights....Hoorah, for the bleak North since if I'm honest that was my favourite option.


And goodness, let me tell you... I stood a mile out from the forty-something wannbee wags I encountered that night. Darlings - I felt decidedly London in my attire and very pleased with myself too...fake tan, botox, and a distinct smell of desperation were found by Bellenden Belle on Eccleshal Road on Friday night. Indeed I am convinced I saw someone trying to pull a Chuckle Brother..


Did I get praised for my magnificent effort? Not exactly but I like to believe that sometimes silence is golden!

Dashing?! The man appears to have a carpet under his shirt. And what's with the Clark's shoes? Where are his jungle boots and pith helmet? This is slap-dash at best.


Bloody colonials. Honestly, you leave them to run a country and look how they end up dressing.

Maybe RosieH is talking about the devil-may-care I'll-be-coming-back-for-you-later-darling glint in the man's eye?


Yeah, those colonials. Don't wear nearly enough tweed, do they d_c?


The short suit is a hideous embarrassment, I'm not even sure I like the ones that they started selling for women a couple of years ago.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
