Everyone has their own line and when others push their lines a bit further than others people get peeved.

Just accept it and carry on.

If it wasnt for people pushing it then we would be a lot less knowledgeable than we are.

I thought I would lighten the mood a little....a friend of mine posted this on facebook yesterday and it had me in stitches....

THIS IS AN ACTUAL CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM A MAN ON AMAZON.CO.UK AFTER USING VEET HAIR REMOVAL CREAM FOR MEN. I ACTUALLY !!!!ED MYSELF WHILE READING IT!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO FUNNY!!!:

After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit if a treat.

I ordered it well in advance and working in the North Sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...Oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn’t have long to wait.

At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling not to bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen, by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, toe the lid off and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing returned. Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn’t managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and an tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my !!!!. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me.

This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.

Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, !!!! in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my !!!! while muttering “ooooohhh that feels good” Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn’t heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout fired against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn’t the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn’t improve my status…so to sum it up, VEET removes hair, dignity and self-respect!

omg this is hillarious, i actually cried laughing

Morning you orrible lot, I'm holding you all responsible for my injuries!!!!
Last night I came on here to find more squabbling and bickering so thought I would post something to lighten the mood a little.
As I was about to start my evil old cat started howling at the door so I let him in and in my stocking feet, popped out on to a dry bit of concrete to see if my neighbour had returned.
My neighbour has not shown up for over a week and I have been holding a parcel...............strange.
Anyhow, as I turned to go indoors I forgot about lifting my foot and caught my big toe on the bottom bar bending it under.
As I brought the other foot over I did the same thing and ended up on all fours in the doorway.
As the owner of three herniated discs this was not a good move as my back went at the same time.
So there is me screaming in pain on all fours with my ar*e in the street and the rest indoors....not a pretty sight!!!
NOW STOP ARGUING ITS FLIPPING DANGEROUS!!!!!!!

oh gosh Wendy ouch, ouch and double I feel your pain as I also have heniated discs!!!Try and get a hot bath before the spasm kick in, you are obviously aware that the spasms are the thing that will linger.
I did a similar thing a few years ago
Hubby snoring in bed after a christmas night out with the boys. I hear a noise out the front of the bungalow so go up to investigate:o instead of stepping outside I leaned out of the door. Unfortunately the mat I'm standing on slips which causes the top half of my body to fly out of the door. Stupidly I tried to grab the wall next to the door which is pebble dashed !!! Bad move as my hands scraped all the way down the wall:eek: I lay there in a Superman position crying in pain but unable to wake hubby. I eventually crawled back to bed and lay there not moving until the morning. The look on hubbies face when he woke up was priceless, he thought I'd been in a fight :rotfl:
Funny now but at the time horrific

I'm on a real downer now

We met with a mortgage advisor a couple months back who told us we could get £X when we came to buying a new property.

With that in mind we sold ours, found one we want to get, got back in touch to finalise the finances only to find he has left and his replacement says the maximum we can get is £13k LESS than the first guy told us :eek:

No way we can afford the house we really want now

oh sorry to hear but have you tried to put in a lower offer, you never know in the current climateand they can only say no
