I think Gok is great! Unlike your typical makeover ice queens he seems passionate, sincere and genuinely interested in the women on his show. Once met some members of a film crew who'd worked with him and they said he was great (they had a lot of negative stuff to say about various other diva-ish TV presenters).


Go Gok!

Ahhhh, AnnaJ - I love Gok Wan - I didn't see that particular programme, but yes,I often shed a tear. (Also thank you for your kind words about my fashion sense .... not sure I agree, but lovely to hear!)


And to be honest David Carnell - from what I have read Gok Wanm was actually bullied because of his weight problem. I think that probably explains his empathetic and compassionate approach - rather than being critical and demeaning like other fashion gurus. Our experiences shape us in the same way that apples and cocaine might shape our exterior selves!


Hoorah for Gok Wan!

Oooh, DC - don't worry.... I hope I didn't sound too stern .... I'm very protective of poor Gok, aren't I?


Taking of makeover/ trash/ self-help telly - did anyone catch Fergie doing her stuff... I watched the first episode but not last night... she was with a family up North sorting out their diet. I actually liked her. Knocked the socks off Gillian Quack McKeith - or whatever that witch's name is ....

That's "Doctor" Gillian McKeith to you, James!


I think she's more like Skeletor from He-Man myself.

Spot the difference!

Oh, Annaj, I saw that programme and it was fantastic - I don't usually like reality TV but I think his approach is excellent. Good on the woman, and good on "Apples Gok".


And BB I have refrained from offering you any advice on the tights/leggings thingy because I live in trousers and know nothing about dresses. (I tried to wear trousers to my wedding and only wore a dress in the end because my poor mother was so distraught.) But I'm sure you will look amazing, and confident. If you're feeling bold but not quite turquoise bold, what about tights/leggings/socks in a purple-toning shade of deep pink?

But Moos - if I was tall like you I'd live in trousers too! Most of the time I look like a farmer's wife in trousers...

Ooooh, wedding dresses - I loved mine! Not that I could fit in it now .... I was two stone lighter then... can you imagine - two stone!

Mmmm, don't think I'm brave enough to do deep pink - I fear I will look like Zandra Rhodes! Though with her strong connection to the Bellenden Regeneration area that probably is quite befitting...

I like Gok and think he has a fantastic attitude to women of all shapes and sizes but do think having seen a couple of the programmes that they are terribly formulaic. Also I simply cannot believe that women who claim to hate themselves THAT much would strip off in public.

What an interesting insight...


For my 2p, I can't stand the leggings thing, either wear tights or nout ffs!


That said, I know nout about what's in and what's not, and I find a lot of trends to be really ugly, so I'll shut up.


It's at times like this when I am so pleased to be a bloke!

Hee hee Keef - even I'm a little shocked by this thread.

I mean here we are on our second page of discussing tights versus leggings versus knee highs... and we still haven't solved the problem of world peace.


And I blush to think that I have been responsible for the most vacuous thread on the forum to date.


I'm a very serious person really. Even when wearing turquoise knee-high socks!


Right next up ...waxing, shaving or sugaring ...relax, I'm kidding...

It is the context I don?t get it?s mentioned in-between waxing and shaving. So I?m assuming it has something to do with hair removal. I just cannot imagine how one could use sugar to get rid of hair.


What do you do, sprinkle it on? Rub cubes on yourself? Does it rot your hair away in the same way it does your teeth?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
