"Oh please, you lard-butt British frumps have got off too lightly"

[AwayInAMunker]

Here

in the average school playground at pick up time do you see most looking groomed and neat or scrapped back hair fleeced ladies?

His point is not the simple statistic (not that he has any statistics of course, proper statistics being a bit suffocating to the hot air of lifestyle fish&chip paper) of differing attitudes - and of course there are those differing attitudes. His point is that those differing attitudes matter, making the high-maintenance-groomers inherently more worthy (in some big-gesture social sense) than those who aren't.

And it's whether it matters - ie whether you can equate grooming with social (or whatever) worth - which is what sensible people focus on. And that debate is far beyond his sort of superficiality to even grasp.

God, I bet that Helena Bonham Carter's kicking herself that she didn't keep that last appointment with her stylist, huh?

Now she's got to make do with that great useless lump of a world-famous multi-millionaire writer and director, Tim Burton, when if she'd only plucked her eyebrows, she could have had Tad!

(Why am I wasting time on this when I could be waxing?)

His point that british women are less 'kempt' than Americans is by the by- its the jump that we have less self worth that grates. perhaps we judt don't see ourselves as presents needing to be giftwrapped for presentation to our menfolk? Maybe we value ourselves as composite beings even

I've worked very hard to get my lard-butt, thankyou very much. I used to be a waif-like clone of the Corrs, and it's taken years of hard graft to put a decent amount of weight on, let my eyebrows grow back, and get a decent coffee patina on my teeth.

Hey, I kind of LIKE having a lard butt.

Lard Butts of the world unite and have some cake!

Dh likes a bit of wobble when he slaps my behind

Beauty maintenance costs. Hmmm. £100 per YEAR.

I use the college for hair do's £20 for cut colour and blowdry. And I very occasionally (3 times a year) go to the college again, to their beauty salon for a leg wax or massage, about £10 a time for 2 or 3 treatments. Oh and 2 tubs a year of Emoiliant cream as a mousturiser.
At that I feel guilty, as the money could go on DS's shoes or books or something.

Suebaroo, give it a slap and ride the waves, eh?

eurrgh, just seen this. Little boy wanting mummy's attention, methinks. And I predict a sad lonely death for some reason

I refuse to take grooming advice from someone named Tad.

he's just fed up because he can't get a shag.

btw think it was on the Today program he was interviewed- up against some woman from the Daily Mail of all places- and she gave him a right whupping. He did a fair amount of back-tracking

Yes why is he called Tad? I've been wondering that. Is it short for something?

yup
arsehole, I think

a tad immature, a tad egotistical, a tad boring ...
