Recommendations for personal shoppers


Recommended Posts

Can I also add that 'deactivating' an account is an extraordinary overreaction?


I'm not sure why Admin would have even got involved in that sort of ridiculous behaviour.


If she didn't want to post any more she could have just stopped.


'Deactivating' is such a hissing pissy shitsy foot stamping pathetic wankster that I don't believe even the most vomit poking ingrate would have it done after a little gentle ribbing for asking for shopping slaves to bring clothes to her.


Therefore none of the above must be true, it must be something else.

In terms of 'style', if you're a bloke, I'd say that spending ?100 - 280 on jeans is just trying to impress.

The act of paying so much is not 'stylish', jeans are finite in how 'stylish' they can be for men.

Style does not translate to big expenditure automatically.

There are many 'styles', 1000s in fact, there is no right or wrong way to dress unless its what you believe is your 'way'. If one is looking elsewhere to see what's 'in' today, that's when you've lost the plot.

To seriously try and relate what you wear today to some film star months later seems to me some kind of enslavement - who cares what Brad Pitt wears now or next year, seriously ?

And where does Brad or any other celebrity qualify in being the benchmark for how you think you should look ?

Utter fluff and bollox surely ?!

I pity anyone who steps out the door worrying whether their 'outfit' fits anything other than their own construct of what they should look like.

Anything else would be a sell-out to your real freedom of choice.


Your 'style' guru.

"To be fair, any thread which starts by describing buying a couple of outfits as "exhausting", was always bound to end in farce. The involvement of UDT has at least made it strangely entertaining."


That is what Jeremy said, and I'm sorry GG, but if that was enough to make someone feel bullied and leave, then IMO that is way over sensetive.


I do however agree that it's a shame her innocent request for advise was hijacked like it was, but this is a public forum used by a variety of people, and I think perhaps she would have been better of using the faqmily room, 99% of which is used by busy mums who may well have had the answer she was after. Alternatively, a fashion forum or something.


As I say, sad that she felt the need to leave, but my sympathy is limited, there are far worse things that can happen than a few people messing about on an internet forum.

I think you missed my point, I wasn't trying to distract, and I'd like you to show where I have bullied anyone.


What I was saying (and I thought it was pretty obvious) was that you are like a broken record with the self esteem thing. You're not actually getting to anyone, it's just boring.

I do believe that UDT, after years of telling other people how much better he is than them, of relentlessly criticising them and calling them morons, is complaining that it's actually him that is hard done by.


He has been so rude on the other forums he visits he has been banned by them, and yet considers himself bullied on the only forum that is tolerant enough to allow him to continue.


That demonstrates such a spectacular lack of self awareness it borders on mental health issues.

There were a number of threads where people were asking for recommendations for practitioners of certain 'alternative therapies' that got similarly messy (I plead guilty to having played my part in that*) and since then I had understood that there was a kind of unwritten rule that people genuinely asking for recommendations didn't get swamped with posts saying "why do you want one of those (you idiot)?".


If there isn't, there probably should be; if people stop posting or signing up because the perception is that this kind of thing is inevitable, the overall quality of the info on here will decline. Maybe if this thread had started off in the "Wanted" section things might have panned out better.



(*If you really think reiki will make things better for you, then, you know, it might just work. Despite being mumbo-jumbo.)

"Maybe if this thread had started off in the "Wanted" section things might have panned out better."


I think this is rather key, each section has it's own subculture.

Tangential bickering is pretty much de rigeur for the lounge, the wanted section would have been a much wiser proposition.

I don't think a rule is needed, maybe moderators need to be a bit more alert to stuff like that naively or mistakenly starting in the lounge.


Generally people would do so because they enjoy the banter and I see no reason to stop that and impose a more stringent stickly-rule culture on the forum.


Maybe posters like giggirl could have reported their concerns to the team earlier and saved MsB her flounce?

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
