    You need to hover (or your mouse does!) over any picture of a jumper and it will show you that jumper on a model.

    Apologies....I edited in link

    Look at the pictures below main pic.( headed woman in a blue jumper) You don't even need to make them bigger, just the headless women in thumbnails are big enough , I saw those and thought..'surely not' and then said to fir ' maestro , my eyes or this picture? ' he said ' her breasts' so not just me. :)

    Edit...fwiw I'm sure her breasts are perfectly normal ( including the idea that normal means only five percent of breasts are a perfect pair!) but poorly presented in a bra with straps not correctly adjusted to present them at their 'level best'

    GDb, pffft to lady gdb's tesco finest meal. We're have vegetarian takeaway tonight.

    I was going to have ago at making bagels but to tired today, so doing that tomorrow and bagels for supper tomorrow night. :) , er, hopefully.

    I'm impressed with the hm bagels. Not many people do that!

    We have just had sort-of home-made pizza. Naan bread as the base, with us putting stuff on top. We also made one with wholewheat wraps as the base. Plus broccoli and salad. Some left over to have cold tomorrow. Nom nom!

    I refilled the pepper mill and reassembled it. All without it shattering and driving shards of glass though my hand! Clearly not worth the risk. "Don't try this at home." :)

    It's been a beautiful, beautiful day here. Very sunny, but absolutely freezing. The air was incredibly clear. We went for a walk and there was just so much to see, but hardly anyone else was out enjoying it.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    The entire site seems to have a thing about photographing the model with one shoulder hunched while the other shoulder is dropped, which IMO probably accounts for a lot of the apparent boob asymmetry.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    .

    And I cannot see why many in many places would bother......if we were in London I wouldn't , too many good bakers. Fir sometimes brings good bagels home.

    I've never made them, and seems worth trying. Its an interesting cooking technique, and it should be fun. I doubt it would be something I take up regularly, but even if its a disaster, it will be fun. And when you compare supermarket bagels to bakery ones....and supermarket ones are our choice out here......seems worth a go:D

    Yes, on second look you are right, I note the different height hand positions. Very awkward indeed. It looks very uncomfortable.

    £240 for one jumper? That's more than I've spent on clothes, and shoes, in total, in the last 3 years at least! Others are priced at £330. Blimey... a whole new world I never knew existed!

    It's a jumper!

    But window shopping is free. :)

    Besides, you knew it existed, I've linked clothes before now;).

    They are really great jumpers fwiw. But I wouldn't buy one at full price either.

    :doh::whistle:I'm allergic to something I've eaten. :(.

    Whose stupid lazy idea was takeaway anyway? :o

    Thankfully I'm loaded up with antihistamine and have beautifully bee stung lips now:D. There is always a silver lining. :D

    I so so want to see penguins but (a) I don't like the cold and (b) I don't like travelling long distances to cold places.

    I don't really like travelling long distances. OH needs to go abroad next month and asked if I wanted a weekend in Vegas. No I don't want an 11 hour flight to spend 48 hours somewhere, even if it means a fun weekend.
