The trouble with reading of FSN's experiences is that the way my mind works is that I will probably remember this post at the  most inappropriate time possible, (probably in a bedroom) snigger out loud and then have to explain myself to whoever I am with at the time.  :d

I have two questions

Why if the lady ( I use this term loosely you understand) was really so unattractive to FSN why was he looking so closely?

Secondly I did not think that FSN was that fussy  :D :D

Gentlemen,

I can see that my predicament of yesterday has raised you to new heights of apathy. I think it behooves me to inform the virtually assembled membership that today I used the Blundell St Car Park (well 50p is ten shillings, and better in my pocket than King Parking), and hazarded the walk past the Scandinavian Church. Fortunately, I did not encounter the tattoeed lady of yesterday, however, I did observe something that could be of equal or even greater horror. Or possibly less. It depends largely on your definition of 'horror', and indeed what horrifies you. I had an Aunt who would, wthout qualm, butcher a sheep, yet would hide behind the door rather than be presented with Bruce Forsythe on the television. She was the same about Jimmy Hill, so mayhap it was a fear of chins.

To me though, this latest horror, and horror I believe it to be to all right thinking people, assailed me from a public advertisment. Gentlemen, I give you ... the first Christmas advert of 2016.



It is, needless to point out, July! I have delibertately obscured the name of the product, as I do not belive these scoundrels should benefit from their presumpton. Suffice to say, in my nerved state, this abhorrence came as quite a shock.

(It's not that 'they've' taken an advert out of that case...and left last year's Christmas ad in there, is it Nobby ?......What am I saying ? Of course it isn't.  =))

Haven't seen any fireworks in the supermarket yet.  :-\

Phil - thought you were bared from using fireworks, even with a responsible adult. Letting you lose with explosives would be far too dangerous.

It does blow a 'hoolie' in the Preselis, an awful lot of the time......So it's not beyond the realms of possibility !  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Rather like the young lady who had "Hi, my name is Jodie" tattoed on her back by way of introduction to her amorous suitors.

That's  rather useful, at least you can get a reminder of her name as she gets out of bed  the following morning.

I saw a photo of one the right way up across the shoulders, and upside-down across the lower back. Think about it...

Kettle calling the pot, black ..... ?  :P   ;)

[although, to be fair, fsn's photo is upside down across the shoulders and the right way up across the lower back]
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
