kryss' was in the smile thread and so was mine, so that's probably why:

Cleaning up sick first thing in the morning. Usually it would be dog sick, but for a change it was a 2 year old.

These non-make up selfies for cancer awareness on Facebook.

Too many people using them as a vanity net.

"God I look awful without my slap!"
*Cue rallying of sycophantic friends*
"No Hun, you look lush, you're a natural beauty. You should see my selfie"
etc etc

Just donate to charity, you attention-seeking kernts.

[nakamura]

Typical, drawing attention to themselves.

Bang on!

Facebook is for posting images of cats, kids doing stoopid ****, and plates of food. Not pictures of the nightmarish reality beneath layers of overpriced cosmetics under the guise of charity awareness.

I said to my missus today that most of the women I know are rats without makeup

Obviously that didn't include my missus - that was mentioned early in the conversation

Most of her friends are the same but a couple are still dang I still do that

One of wor lass's mates I'd rag arl ower, with or without makeup. Killer figure, and that's got nowt to do with makeup.

Actresses voicing male characters in kids tv programs, tree fu tom being the main one at the minute.

I hear what yer saying but it's no worse than that other 'hilarious' staple of British comedy - the ugly man dressed as a woman.

Yes, from time memoriam, big hairy blokes have been donning frocks and wigs to inexplicable hilarity. From pantomime dames to stand up comedy's biggest acts, even cage fighters have got in on the act!

Peculiar bunch, us British.

I hope I get some of those selfies. Those kinds of things are billy-bait. Veiled stuff about how they should keep make up on.

[nakamura]

The way the words 'big, hairy and frocks' were displayed on my Tapatalk made me look twice at that post!

On my feed it's now guys doing selfies with makeup on.

I'm just glad the like button on facebook provides vital cancer curing antibodies to those in need. I think that is how all this works, right?

[nakamura]

Exactly. It's only worth doing this if you are actually donating.

[Soundwave]

My missus expecting sympathy for hurting herself at the gym & then spending 3 hours in A&E

She has no one to blame but herself, she knows she has bad knees but still insists on Squatting with weight for reps so I have no compassion that she blew her knee out.

It now makes my life more miserable as she hobbles about on crutches & whinges & does even less with Chloe than usual.
Not looking forward to hobbling round the shops on Saturday with the invalid

Grrrr bloody women!

I'm in a right flippin' grump.

Agree with all the selfies. It would take less time to Google "donate to cancer research", click the top suggestion and type in a donation. They do the same thing every year like one word status updates of the colour of their pants or bra.

Now if I don't donate, I'm a knob and if I do donate then they've won by making me aware of donating.

Next year, they should post a one word status update of how much they've actually just donated, rather than just feeling pious about making people "aware".

Next, inbetween the makeup-free selfies, one bell end posted the ending of Line of Duty, which I've been watching for the last 6 weeks. It's taken the enthusiasm out of watching it on catch-up now I know what's going to happen and it's one of the few shows both my wife and I enjoy and will tear me away from EDF.

Finally, I've had two parking tickets in the space of a month from shopping car parks. At one site the machine was faulty and ate my money. I paid for an hour even though there was only 20 minutes left until parking was free and there was no assistance to tell them the machine was faulty. My choices were to pay twice or get a fine. I've got the latter because of this scam.

The second one was from a supermarket near a pub. I took cash out from a machine outside the shop, they didn't have what I wanted so went to the pub. I was 44 minutes over the allotted time, but the store had been closed for 2 HOURS after I returned. How on Earth is that affecting their trade?!

I'm contesting them both, but I could do without the daily stress about it.
