YSL Touche eclat and Bobbi Brown's shimmer brick. Utterly useless products that everyone raves about.

Hair straighteners. I have boring straight hair. One of my friends has pretty much the same 'style' of hair as me. She offered to 'straighten' my hair whilst I was round at hers getting ready to go out. Mystified. I just don't 'get' this craze at all. Esp if your hair is not remotely curly.

Orla Kiely/ Cath Kidston stuff faux twee/vintage.

We used to drink a particular cough mixture by the bottle. That was after I tried acid.

[Louisa]

I'm confused what is this acid stuff? Am I the only person on this forum who still thinks acid is something that comes in a bottle and burns the skin?

Louisa.

You're too young Louisa.

[MrBen]

Babies. Everyone around here seems to have one and I never really understood why.

Well, let's see. One night, when Mummy and Daddy were very much d̶r̶u̶n̶k̶ in love, Daddy put his thingy in Mummy's front bottom and, er, now let me just think..

jeremy, talking of alan partridge, this might be one of the most painful, most partridge things i've ever watched,

 

[ernesto]

another one on the list

[Jeremy]

Pibe... no audio at work... but the video alone is pretty cringeworthy.

I would actually nominate Range Rovers - particularly pimped-out ones sporting after market body kits and badges such as "Overfinch". Just horrible, horrible things for people devoid of taste.

[El Pibe]

[ernesto]

all of the above plus range rovers
