Posh Spice's extension lead...

AIBU to think that with all her wealth and riches, VB could've got someone in to do some electrical design work so she didn't have to trail an extension lead across her room?

Hopefully the picture attached!

@PigletJohn are you my dad? He's always going on about how superior British electrics are!

Dear me, between the risk of farts in those trousers, copious amounts of alcohol consumed by the partygoers, & that overloaded extension lead... I'm amazed she's still alive.

I am jealous though. Absolutely can't walk in heels. It's an ongoing source of misery in my life.

LordGarmadon · 08/03/2020 20:53

Despite the lack of fire hazard, I still think she could've consulted an electrician when she fixed her house up Grin

Probably really expensive tight trousers are better for practical stuff than cheaper ones same as shoes etc

I've found pricier shoes more comfy for sure.

I'm sure she'll be pleased you're all concerned about her farting/ taking a piss etc but I'm sure she will be fine Grin

IAmcuriousyellow · 08/03/2020 20:57

Is that a pub ashtray she’s thieved?? On the table. I’m sure it is, from the 1980s Grin

MoonlightBringsSanity · 08/03/2020 20:58

Oh stop it you lot. It’s a picture. Of another woman and an extension lead. The woman looks fabulous and you are trying to find ANY fault you can to make yourselves feel better. Have a think about why you feel the need to do this.

MagnoliaJustice · 08/03/2020 20:58

I like the trousers. The extension lead was a worry but @PigletJohn has reassured me. I like Victoria, I think she has a great sense of humour. I'm not that keen on her oldest son's photography book though.

PayingGuests · 08/03/2020 20:59

Smoking indoors?

LordGarmadon · 08/03/2020 21:03

It's lighthearted... I'd be faux-concerned about anyone trailing an extension lead like that.

We've spent the last year renovating an old farm cottage and I'm incredibly smug about my plug sockets ... you won't see an extension lead round here Wink

Is it really a good night out if you haven't thieved an ashtray?!

@IAmcuriousyellow

That's definitely a pub ashtray but she must have nicked it before the smoking ban, because pubs don't have ashtrays anymore, just those postbox type bins attached to the wall.

Does she smoke? I vaguely recall someone posting a pic of her puffing away once.

Samtsirch · 08/03/2020 21:07

I just think the dancing person behind her looks hilarious 😂

Disquieted1 · 08/03/2020 21:08

Fess up OP. You did an Internet search for "tight leather trousers" and "huge extension" and that's what came up.
We know the score.

ShirleyPhallus · 08/03/2020 21:09

Surely it needs to be that overloaded to power David’s loins?

Sorry, to ALLEGEDLY power David’s loins given that he is a total family man and never plays away. Allegedly.

Happygirl79 · 08/03/2020 21:09

I just can't take to her
She's about 40?
Why all the attention seeking?
She has a lovely family and hunky husband, lots of dosh
Why can't she just enjoy?
As for the picture its just another attempt to "shock" and get attention.. Sorry for the pun

SweetMarmalade · 08/03/2020 21:09

@FrogsFrogs me too! Tune! Star

LordGarmadon · 08/03/2020 21:11

It's not how it looks @disquieted1 Blush, I actually have an extension lead fetish. It's very vanilla Wink

Hahaha we used to collect pub ash trays. Classy.

ChickLitLover · 08/03/2020 21:16

Ah, another light hearted thread ruined by the usual nasty remarks. But let me guess you’re not jealous blah, blah blah. You’re entitled to give your opinion blah blah blah. I suppose Meghan Markle hasn’t been around so much so you need a new target. Sad losers.

As a pp said, Happy International Women’s Day. Wink

Wetcarparkrain · 08/03/2020 21:16

I couldn’t be less like her but I LOVE her. She seems to be hilarious craic, very nice and funny, and just gets on with her life.

There’s a really lovely makeup video with her and Lisa Eldridge where she just comes across so well. She’s obviously there to have a little shill of her products which is fair enough, but they just have a really lovely chat and she is so sweet. Fair play, VB.

AuldAlliance · 08/03/2020 21:18

That's not an ashtray. Far less one nicked from a pub several decades ago.
It's an empty box of biscuits that the partygoers have all scoffed. Some custard creams maybe, or nice Rich Teas, for after the singing and dancing.

Jocasta2018 · 08/03/2020 21:20

The real questions are:
Who is standing behind her in their socks?
Why are there milk bottles in the table?
And yes, don't you think with their wealth, they could've had a few more electric sockets installed!!!!

MagnoliaJustice · 08/03/2020 21:22

Aw, I wanted it to be a pub ashtray. I can see now though, it's an empty biscuit tin. Sad times.

AuldAlliance · 08/03/2020 21:23

Milk and biscuits. It's obvious.
Honestly, some people see wild parties everywhere when innocent, everyday folk are just having a harmless singalong with their chums.

LordGarmadon · 08/03/2020 21:23

I hope MM's electrical socket situation is better... the Canadian electrics aren't as failsafe as the British!
