Carrot Top
I hope that isn't an insult aimed at ginger people, like me? :-

What is it, by the way? :)

Smoothie version of a lager top?! :-\
Might be this chap, in this case?
"Scott Thompson, known by the stage name Carrot Top, is an American stand-up comedian and actor best known for his bright red hair, prop comedy, and self-deprecating humor."

Yes must be him, co D'guy is American, and this "Carot top" comedian certainly is not very attractive.

And Bouncing Boris - assume we have noticed the similarity of these clowns.
Yes Roy, that is the guy! Will admit that he is probably better looking then yours truly.
My closest friend is a ginger, and my family is populated with them. They are all better looking then Carrot Top who has made a decent living with his prominent red hair. :)
Ha, no worries d_Guy. I was only having you on - pulling your leg :P
I'm struggling to think of something that I perceive as ugly, but others have placed a high value upon. My only thought is the art of Picasso, as they just don't do anything for me.
Donald Trump.
I was actually watching a short documentry on American wrestling, yesterday, and his name popped up. The WWF (World Wrestling Federation) wanted to show it's 1991 Wrestle Mania event as a Pay-per-View programme in the USA, but Trump argued for it to be screened on satellite/cable channels and accessible to a larger audience. Trump won. WWF didn't make as much television money. The wrestling event was staged at one of Trump's casino/hotel places. Trump PLC. got a huge amount of free publicity as the television show had banners bearing Trump's name and 'resort' in the background of every camera shot. I think Mr Trump won Mr Altruism 1991 that year ;D
And that's the end of my touch on current politics, unless it sets off an argument.

Denying it don't make it untrue...
The sad thing, is that Orc's real 'name' gives oodles of different results...Which makes it a right sod....to know which is a 'probable'.
Being childish...and using various methods...and with the help of other members of the forum (who are as childish as me).....I could post piccies of numerous members of the forum, who have tried to keep their identities 'incognito'.
But I won't..... ;)
Cheers - Phil.

How on earth can France be deemed ugly?
It's full of the French, who are just slightly better than the Welsh, they only burn sheep, not steal them !
And a big thank you to Mr.Brexit, who is still trying to extract the bullet from his foot, whilst at the same time wanting to rename London Waco.
QuoteChartreuse
What's wrong with Chartreuse? It's certainly an acquired taste but it's not ugly.
Green or yellow?
Gota be PINK !! :(
QuoteGreen or yellow?
Green, a truly beautiful colour and it tastes nice, not too keen on the yellow.
