Saw a lady in Coop on Sunday with a long (ish) tshirt and a little pair of battie riders that I am sure my DW has larger briefs.
I did notice she had a very broad Clarendon accent and she was also 6 months pregnant, it did feel a bit like being in the Caribbean with the heat which is quite normal for Catford but not so usual in Herts.Joe_Bloggs wrote: »To lower the tone how high can short shorts get in this hot weather ?

Us two do, wonder if any other NP are curly?
PM me some of that medication. Are there any other side effects?
We'd all love to believe you viva but you will have to post a picture just for conformation, you understand
That's me, that is!:p
Wasn't there an anti-skin cancer drug whose side effects included weight loss and a fake tan?
This all sounds very familiar! Which is rich coming from me, as I feel I repeat everything endlessly every few weeks anyway.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

Nah, WE are in the wrong room :rotfl:
I have several O levels (including chemistry and biology),1 GCSE, no A levels (although studied the first year of one) and 1 undergraduate level certificate in law (plus an ECDL and a counselling qualification)
I love mushrooms
I have never lived in Herts (but eldest wants to go to university there)
I have married but am divorced
I don't 'earn' anything but am paid by the state as a carer.
I do have Jewish blood though.....We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

I hate this sort of weather during the week in London. The train was disgusting this morning and the tube was no better. Seeing birds going to work wearing flimsy summer dresses and flip flops when you're stuck in a suit and boots is just annoying. I'm wearing flip flops, plus fours and a string vest tomorrow by way of protest.0 -
Perfect - the ones from the first link got the ok. I should have thought to try to filter on ones in the UK
I did see that they were sold in Muslim outlets - shame my mum didn't decide that she wanted these before I stopped working next to possibly the biggest mosque in London!
Also had a classic comment - mum asked whether I was going to pay by 'pen pal' so I said that I didn't think that they took pen pals as payment, but I would pay by Pay Pal. To which she replied 'I don't know, I don't do these things do I?'. I seem to be hearing that quite a lot... my brother is looking to buy a house, and when I suggested that he might need to consider one that needs a bit of 'updating' in order to get something closer to budget/ in better location I was firmly told 'we dont DO things like that in this family'. As far as I remember we were brought up to believe we could do anything we put our minds to... and its a good job one of us has learnt to use new fangled things like paypal - I'm pretty confident that no-one round here sells flipping arm protectors as I've asked them all!

Then I realised.... tattoos are the sign of being "a right 'ard b4st4rd". What kind of namby pamby person would risk wearing these and looking an utter tw4t.... ? Surely they'd be an item of merriment and mirth for everybody down the pub.
It's like: bad product meets non existant marketplace.
Or maybe people on ebay are actually bigger tw4ts that I could possibly have ever imagined!!
I kinda .... don't get it.0 -
In olden days I am led to believe that parasols were De rigeuer (excuse my French. ) in the hot climate. Surely there is a fashion outlet that sells them.
The ultimate photophobes would wear a wetsuit wherever they came in to contact with the sun. That is according to the tittle tattle of gossip magazines.

I once saw a teenage girl with denim shorts that could only be described as obscene. It was in KFC in twickenham. A bystander was heard to say "oh my god her !!!! is out, that's disgusting". She then went into the toilet with her boyfriend and did not come out...
Twickenham is north of the river. I doubt this is a coincidence.0
