Robert Poste's Child Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Botox. During all the recent media coverage of the floods, I noticed several female presenters standing in howling gales with totally smooth faces, apparently unable to screw their eyes up against the wind and rain. Looked very strange to me. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/41760-recent-trends-that-havent-grabbed-me/page/3/#findComment-725397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

malumbu Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Not observing things anymore, nor cherishing the memory.Instead seeing things through the eye of your smart phone and then having to share this with everyone you know three steps removed.Worse still, being interested in what others are sharing on social media.Ironic, that I am using social media to share my hatrid of instant information and social media.

number 2 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yes Jeremy!!! That's the sort of beard! Not the "I've had one for years because it suits me and/or I can't be arsed to shave". It's the self conscious, hipsteresque "ooh look at me, with my big bushy beard" (with or without beard comb) that gets on my wick.

Robert Poste's Child Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Ooh, I LOVE salted caramel, though granted it's only the same principle the cookery teacher at school used when making biscuits.I'd agree about accessory dogs though.Especially carried while wearing trannie shoes, tramp stamp, Croydon facelift, tarantula eyelashes, scousers, botox, trout pout and tango spray tan.I feel cleansed now.

Dopamine1979 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 You don't get grabbed by twerking. Unless I'm wrong the recipient does the grabbing.

Jah Lush Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Twerking has been going since the late 40s early 50s in black American blues dances and it's been on the reggae scene in Jamaica for as long as I can remember. The fact that mainstream white America has suddenly got it is nothing new.

Ok to use sparingly but at the end of every sentence becomes hard on the ears.There is a great Eddie Izzard sketch where he bemoans the over use of the word 'awesome' by Americans.
