Beever hair always makes me titter! Who cares about hair that grows in the dark? Grin

FiveGoMadInDorset · 09/07/2017 08:36

Anyone heard of Tropic? I was at a craft fair yesterday and a bot had a table, a different one is turning up today

acatcalledjohn · 09/07/2017 09:36

It's the skin care range from the winner of The Apprentice a few years ago. Alan Sugar and Susan something (Ma?).

Toobusytowee · 09/07/2017 09:38

Tropic is a cosmetic MLM set up under Alan Sugar. I think it was one of the apprentice winners that set it up?

I still need Brow Bot please!

BSintolerant · 09/07/2017 13:13

Are you sure about that Bethany? Grin

Oh my word, I found this thread by Googling the 'weight loss' coffee an acquaintance is enthusiastically posting about on FB. Lost 4 pounds after only one coffee apparently Hmm I resisted the urge to reply asking if that was because it gave her the raging shits.

She is well and truly bot-ified. She's a very sweet person, but I've lost count of how many MLMs she's been involved with. At least 8-10 I reckon. She obviously doesn't make any money, because she keeps moving on to a new one after a few months.

You can see how people fall for it though, with all the carrots that get dangled in front of them. I'd love to know exactly how many people make a truly decent living from MLM.

Ah thanks for all your good wishes! I'm not planning to become a Utah bride just yet - I'll stick to being a Sussex one Flowers I'll need one hell of a botstalking catch up when I get home!

MrsGotobed · 09/07/2017 18:26

Congratulations on your wedding fitgirl.

Of course I would have been there to see you on your happy day but do you know what?.... my toe nails needed a bit of a trim and I couldn't find the nail clippers. I'm sure you understand 😉

BSintolerant · 09/07/2017 18:55

mrsgotobed I'm sympathetic to your plight. All eyes would have been on your big toe at fitgirl's wedding and a big toe with an unclipped nail is too ghastly to contemplate. The guests would have thought the Council had cut them with their lawnmowers in between their endless tea and Skinny Coffee breaks.

Do you usually blow dry and straighten your toenails before you cut them? If so, slather them in Skinny Lard first - it protects them from the heat.Grin

Spongebobette · 09/07/2017 19:13

I would have come to your wedding Fitgirl but..... I couldn't be arsed

BS what do you mean do I slather my toenails in Skinny Lard?!

I bathe in the stuff FGS!! I have a garage stockpiled full of it that I've got to use up somehow FFS

cozietoesie · 09/07/2017 19:47

Now that is impressive! Grin

BSintolerant · 09/07/2017 20:06

mrsgotobed Do you apply it to mrgotobed's extremities before you go to bed? I find that if I use a pigeon feather to apply it to parts others may not want to reach the results are in the super soaring category as opposed to the flappy one.

That said if you were to apply it to flappy areas you might surprise yourself by taking off when you least expect it.

I donate used, carefully laundered feathers to my local Angel Card reader who wouldn't be so grateful if she knew where they'd been. If she was any good at psychometry she'd have a seizure. Kinky is using a feather, but perverted beyond the realms of the average deviant is using the whole pigeon. Wink

cozietoesie · 09/07/2017 20:54

I'm speechless. Grin

I can't even. 😂

kellogssquareofkrispierice · 09/07/2017 21:18

BS

I've caught the pigeon and await further instructions.

Amazing!

Grin I'm in hysterics!

Noisy

Welcome!

And the short answer is - no one does, with the exception of the companies who run these schemes, and their shareholders.

Twunk · 09/07/2017 21:43

I don't have a pigeon. I do have a stinky spaniel.

BSintolerant · 09/07/2017 21:52

Listen very carefully huns, I will say zis only werence.

Let's synchronise our Timeless watches and meet in mrsgotobed's garage to stock up on lard. kellogs - get the pigeon high on skinny coffee so we can lard and de-feather it. Anyone got any Ange cards? I'll bring my crystal ball with me (I usually use two metal balls for such purposes but it was too hot to freeze them off that brass monkey yesterday).

Will pm ya huns with further unstraightened (i.e kinky) hair-raising details. Eeeek, etc.

BSintolerant · 09/07/2017 21:55

twunk a stinky spaniel is one thing. At least you don't have a pussy wot pongs. Wink
