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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
