    Just to lower the tone a bit ....it is my beer talking....there is a thread on another board asking people if they have tattoos.

    I am needle phobic and unsurprisingly do not have any piercings or tattoos. Do other NP have anything?

    i have 2 on my earlobes, and 3 cartilage piercings on my ear but i only really have a single cartilage one now. I had to take the bar out :(

    I noticed fc is around tonight. If you haven't seen it already fc, you've got to catch the clip re Philip Green from this week's the Revolution Will Be Televised. The programme had some good and bad moments, but the bit where they went into Top Shop and dressed a mannequin was hilarious. Can't find a clip on YouTube but the programme is still on iPlayer:

    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Well, that's not as strange as what happens in this family.

    If you pass a florist, you can check on this: can all NPs smell freesias (only about 2/3 of the country have the right allele I gather).? :D

    I can smell them and like the lilies smell too.:o
    I always think tomatoes smell of cats wee though

    No tattoos on me.

    They are a total PITA when we book models as we don't want any visible for our product but they forget to mention that they have just a teeny tiny one on the ankle etc then say ' but oh you can photoshop it'.
    Doh, PS cost per minute plus we avoid it as much as possible....which is why we spec 'no tattoos'.

    I know of a stunning model who got a lot of work for formal dress company. Went on holiday and came back with them all up her arm. She didn't work again as the edgy stuff that can take tattoos wouldn't use her 'pretty, pretty look.

    I have my ears pierced (normal place on the lobes), a piercing at the top of my right ear, and my nose pierced. No tattoos.

    As previously mentioned, my mum as had her eyebrows semi-permanenyly tattooed. She also has her nose pierced. Was very funny when we pointed out she has tattoos AND a piercing on her face :)

    Meeting up with old friend and my little godson tomo. He will then visit his dad while we go to Damien Hurst at Tate Modern.
    Anyone been?


    I know I am stressed out as I got 'caught' by CBB last week. I only watched for 10 mins and am now hooked.
    Martin Kemp is my fave to win.
    I am very in touch with my shallow side at the moment as we launch a trial range in 5 stores of a chain in 2 weeks and it's all so terrifying. If it sells we go into lots for a while.

    If it doesn't , well. I may have to get a soap addiction going just to trip my brain out for a while :)

    No tatoos here - I always think they are a great free way of knowing all you need to know about someone :o
    I think....

    I haven't clicked the link as the laptop at home is soooo slow.

    What's it about?

    PG and his ilk aren't my fave people (I can safely write this now) and he operates his empire with that 'fear culture'. Had a fascinating chat with an ex staff TS person recently.
