And all similar kind of magazines...

The headlines are flinch worthy, usually always stories of dreadful child abuse, rape, incest, peodiphile fathers and husbands.

I imagine it's the kind of sick tragic stuff that abusers and peodiphiles actually get off on reading themselves and yet they're holiday makers favourites around the pool etc!

AIBU to wonder how there is such a high demand for people's ruined childhoods etc?

Fond memories of my week at Butlins, Skegness last month.

Oh now I understand why the logo preserved his modesty. I was imagining a bag for life. And incontinence.

Bless him, he'd have been far better off in a 10p bag.

You're all laughing at Leonard but after this thread, somewhere in Centreparks a man called Jeremy will be made to wear a Waitrose carrier bag as a nappy by his wife when he gets the shits.

How terrible was their wedding that sock eyebrows where somehow better than being without eyebrows and sacking the best man!

BodsAuntieFlo · 16/08/2016 23:31

How did they make eyebrows out of socks? Why didn't they just pencil them in.

November thanks for the link! Made a dull baby nap less dull. It looks like the Fate and Destiny or whatever it is is even weirder, which is to be expected I suppose.

bert that's a blast from the past! I not only remember the 'make a top from tights' tip but somewhere there's a photo of me wearing said item. Disclaimer: when I lived in a student house, TAB was bought weekly, mainly for the entertaining tips.

For those that are interested and/or need a new top, this is how you do it. Take a pair of tights and cut a hole in the crotch. This is to put your head through. Now cut the legs off at the required length for the cleeves. Put your arms through these. Voila! A nice new op with a big seam running uo the middle.
