    Wot?? No crisp sandwiches? I don't understand. [insert very confused smiley here]

    I have crisps but as Mr S makes the bread and has now been away for 6 days I do not have the makings of a sandwich.

    Now I thnk of it, I could buy bread. That would involve a 20 mile round trip to M&S or a 16 mile round trip to Waitrose who both sell bread I like.

    I have one regular set of ear piercings on the lobe, done aged 14 (petrified as parents would go mad.... ).

    I've always asked of people with tattoos .... "How many millionaires have tattoos? How many criminals in jail?" Of course, that doesn't really work these days, but it used to! Only robbers/thieves and assorted ne'er do wells would have tattos back in the day.

    I don't want to offend anyone who has one but I find tattoos horrid.

    Agree.

    I have single piercings in each ear lobe.

    I dislike looking at those earrings that stretch the earlobe.

    A guy working in Tesco car park here has stretched his lobes to the size that you could fit a 50p coin through the hole, I avoid looking at him.

    Does Mrs Chewy have pierced ears? (Only answer that if you want to - don't want to pry.)

    Yes she does and I don't like it. That said I've never said anything about it, she can do what she likes with her ears, but if a tattoo turned up there would be trouble. (she can also do what she likes with a needle and some ink, but I'd spend a lot of time looking grumpy afterwards. If she got any synthetic "adjustments" I would be out the door).

    I guess my true colours as a horrible person will come out now, bit if I see anyone with that cr4p in their ears my instant reaction is "pointless loser". Oh well.

    I honestly don't understand why someone would disfigure themselves in such an obvious way. It's like having a tattoo on your face. http://ganjataz.com/smileys/puking.gif

    I'm getting some cosmetic dental work done: I'm having 2 teeth crowned and as one is in my smile, the dentist has recommended that I whiten my teeth so that everything is the same colour when the crowns go on.

    PS Sad news about Neil Armstrong. First he gets stripped of his Tour de France titles then he dies. Wonderful World was his best song IMO.

    There is a glaring error in your post Generali.

    It`s impossible to match your own teeth to the whitening of crowns.

    Sad about the cycling troubadour astronaut as well.

    I don't want to offend anyone who has one but I find tattoos horrid. Or indeed any kind of modification going. Piercings...hmmm. No.


    It's not escaped my attention that the ratios of tattoos to teeth differs between the guests and staff of certain daytime TV shows.

    I wonder if both groups can smell freesias? ;)

    I think the idea is that I whiten my teeth and the crown is matched tO them.
