Hello all - rare morning visit!

looks damn cold out so I'm not risking it
SWMBO left the heating on last night - I'm not moaning!!

Oh - and a small person seems to have arrived and is currently spreading toys all over the lounge - any minute now he will get fed up with reaching into the toy box and employ his normal tactic of turning it upside down

I suppose we will have to feed him at some point - and take him home in time to pick his sister up from school

I dunno - 2 years old and I expect he won't want to walk himself home on his own!!!!
Kids these days want everything!!

Cold chicken sarnies with mango chutney is good, spicy mango chutney is better.
Black pepper and salad cream also goes well.:hungry:

Pickled onions on the side.

TBH I can only fancy mango chutney as an addition to a hot curry.
Salad cream/mayonnaise is always welcome ^_^

Is it just me?
I really don't like them and can't understand why anyone would plaster themselves with ugly identifying marks.
When I grew up, the only people with visible tattoos were criminals and members of the armed services.
The sight of young women, particularly, covered in highly visible tattoos just turns my stomach.
How can they expect not to be judged?

Couldn't agree more, don't have any, never wanted any. I hate to see them on women, discreet ones at a push but these full sleeve ones just look tacky.

I'm with you but not so strongly. Same when I was younger, tattooed knuckles and forearm usually. I don't understand why young people do this but I don't find it stomach turning, just bewildering especially for young women. We know a couple of lads who have tattoos which run the length of their bodies.

My eldest got a couple when he was 18, seems to regret it now but they're quite inconspicuous. I'm sure for him it was a question of rebellion. We were pretty liberal parents, children of the 60s so not much we haven't seen or done and hard to shock. A tattoo was probably the one thing we'd be shocked by - disappointed actually.

Now my folks...........all I had to do was be a Stones fan..........they look dirty. Don't they wash? What about that hair? 😆

He was mentioned earlier.
In this weather I immediately had a vision of him on a walk saying "where the hell is it, it was there when I started my walk" :rolleyes:

They were quite a thing in high society at one stage, even King George V had one. On another topic, Boob enhancement. When Mrs Tenkaykev was working on the elderly care ward in our local Hospital she had more than one elderly lady with their bodies showing the inevitable signs of age but still with a quite impressive pair of boobs 😮

I don't like to see too many of them on either sex but some look really nice on either sex. That's just a matter of my personal taste.

My daughter (41) has 3 nice ones and I girl I knew many years ago in the late 70's had a very lovely flower on her tummy.

I wouldn't judge anyone negatively for having them no matter how many tbh.
