Martin O' | 2196 comments Today's news covered the South Korean women's demonstration against being subjugated to intrusive spycams recording footage of a personal and invasive nature and quite rightly so. However when the report was shown it included a number of video clips that showed upskirt, in changing rooms, toilets etc. Kind of missed the point there BBC methinks!

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments I recently bought a Darkness CD off eBay and, seemingly based on that buy, I have just been sent an Email recommending a selection of things that they think will be of great interest to me? ...

A Gruffalo Pop-up Indoor Play Den/Tent

An Elastic Mesh Hairnet - for wearing under Wigs or for sleeping in.

A Green Expandable Flexible Garden Hosepipe with optional Multi-function Nozzle Outdoor Spray Gun Attachment

A Severed Cut Off Bloody Lifelike & Life-size Fake Arm

A Thermo Sweat Neoprene Body Shaper Slimming Waist Trainer

A Pair of Retro Hanging Furry Dice - to attach to a Car Windscreen

And a Cosplay Medieval/Renaissance Hooded Monk's Habit

... ! ! ! ... ;oO

Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 600 comments Don't go buying Cosplay Medieval/Renaissance Hooded Monk's Habit too often, it might become a habit habit!

Gordon (skiiltan) | 2940 comments And we can only guess what Justin Hawkins might have needed a length of hosepipe for.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Perhaps the Zip on his latest Jumpsuit keeps getting jammed on his Hanging Furry Dice?!! ;o>

What an image!!! - I'm surely in for some very weird dreams tonight!!!

Lez | 7490 comments I love the number of adjectives thrown about in no particular order.
The hosepipe and the arm are particularly vivid.

TwoddleBungler | 4920 comments The Severed Cut Off Bloody Lifelike & Life-size Fake Arm would be great for getting your own seat on a bus or train.
Also it would make an excellent dog-toy for a St Bernard.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments I think that Sellers on eBay do it in order to make their Listing show up and stand out on as many Buyer Searches as possible, Lez Lee ;o>

Using different Keywords will bring up different Listings of the same Item.

TwoddleBungler | 4920 comments Mystery object!

Lately I've been seeing these on the ground near where I live. Does anyone know what they are? (Don't say spectacles!!!)

They are made of white, somewhat flexible plastic.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Are they Bubble Blowers, TB?

Just a thought but, if they are, then they may have been carelessly discarded by partying School Leavers on their way in or out of School. It was one of the things that we were allowed to bring in to play around with on our very last week of School ;o>


message 1169: by Lez (new)

Lez | 7490 comments Some sort of fastening like that for managing cables? I suspect postmen/women using them for bigger packages when the ubiquitous rubber bands won’t do. I haven’t quite worked out the physics required though!


message 1170: by suzysunshine7 (new)

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments I've been looking for a picture of Bubble Blowers as there are so many different shapes and sizes available ...




message 1171: by TwoddleBungler (new)

TwoddleBungler | 4920 comments Well, the 'business' end certainly looks like your pictures suzy.
I'll try blowing some bubbles and report back!

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments HA HA HA!!! ;o>

I was trying to remember the correct name for them but it's only just come to me ... Bubble Wands! ...

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Ohhh Squirrels!!! ;oO

My Mum has just got back from a late leisurely Lunch out with a few girl-friends and has told me that one of them is currently having 'issues' with her beloved Grandson.

Apparently they were all out as a family in a Restaurant with the 3 year old little 'un on his very best behaviour as usual when a Waitress kindly brought him a little extra treat of some Crayons and a Colouring-In Sheet.

"And what do you say to the kind lady?" prompted his utterly adoring Grandma ... which at first just brought a slightly confused smile to his Face but no answer ... "Come on now, George? - it begins with 'p' ... "

With that the little Angel suddenly got it - and he gave everyone at the Table a huge smile and very solemnly said in an extremely loud Voice ... "Piss off lady!"

Apparently the entire Restaurant went completely quiet and you really could have heard a Pin drop for at least several seconds afterwards! His M&D have blamed his big Brother for him picking up such bad Language and Grandma is now seriously rethinking the generous provision that she has just made for him in her Will! ... HA HA HA HA HA!!! ;o>


message 1174: by TwoddleBungler (new)

TwoddleBungler | 4920 comments Well that's pretty conclusive. I tried but both ends worked equally well so I'm not sure what the fancy crenellations are for.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Are they to help to get a better grip on the Plastic Wand once it has been dipped in the Soapy Solution?

EDIT : Google suggestions say that all the ridges increase the amount of fluid collected up on dipping and produces a much bigger and better Bubble ;o>

Maybe, except that in your first photo, some of the wands don't have a ring at the other end - just a stick!

TwoddleBungler | 4920 comments When I was about that age, my sister tells me that, as a family, we went to dinner with some 'Very Important' people that Dad wanted to impress.
My mother warned me to be on my best behaviour but apparently I was playing at being a dog that day and when given my food I stuck my face in it and started licking it up just as a dog would.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I can also remember some female cousins when I was four or five, trying to teach me the rhyme:
I chased a bug around a tree.
I knew they were up to something so I refused to play along.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments "I chased a bug around a Tree" ... ?

OHHH!!! - it took a minute but now I get it! - LOL!!! ;o>

Martin O' | 2196 comments Try this then Suzy....

Young Jack the Lad in a flash sports car roars into a petrol station in the middle of nowhere, Somerset
"Fill her up!" he asks the old yokel attendant, while doing so he glances admiringly at the car.
"I wish I could afford one of these. How on earth did you manage it!?"
"Oh, easy" came the swift reply, "I work for Cunard."
"So do I but I still couldn't afford one like that." says the yokel with envy.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments What is this?!! - Get Suzy To Say Naughty Things Day?!! - LOL!!! ;o>


message 1183: by Brass Neck (new)

Brass Neck | 3979 comments When my son was at Nursery/Reception (about 3 and 1/2) we went to the parents' evening to be told that he could be a bit naughty and that, on one occasion, he'd been given a severe telling-off when he piped up, 'Miss, you are beautiful when you're angry'.

Val H. | 22143 comments My youngest child, then aged about 3 or 4, wanted ice-cream. Stupid, vague parent (me) said "What's the magic word?". She looked confused and worried before it came to her - "Now?"

Helen The Melon | 3419 comments A friend was walking slowly down the street with her pre-school age daughter. The little girl pointed at the very large man with a huge stomach next to them and said in a loud voice..."Mummy, I thought you said that only Mummies could have babies".

Yes, v embarrassing!!


message 1189: by suzysunshine7 (new)

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments It's one of those mental toss-up times between thinking about stopping, acknowledging the embarrassment and apologising ... or just putting your Head down and keeping on walking as fast as possible whilst still dragging the mortifying little monkey along with you! ;o>

message 1191: by Lez (new)

Lez | 7490 comments Not embarrassing but quite funny. We - my sis, niece, and nephew - were walking back from the park and saw a man fixing his car on his driveway. Little Hannah, (aged about 3) ran up to him excitedly and shouted ‘You’ve got a right job on there’!


message 1192: by Craig White (new)

Craig White | 6727 comments whilst awaiting to uplift a prescription (in a chemist dontchaknow), my 3 year old son betrayed his (and his father's) t.v. watching habits by sauntering up to a gentleman carrying a curtain pole, and asking "what's on the end of the stick, vic"!

Quote from Jamelia on Tipping Point Lucky Stars, trying to work out the answer to a question about tennis players;

"I thought Bjorn Borg was in ABBA"


message 1196: by suzysunshine7 (new)

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Ohhh, doesn't it also make you feel old?!! ;oO

I was joking with someone on Facebook and mentioned Adam Ant only to get back ... "who?" ... !

I keep on forgetting that I am often talking online with generations of folk now who have absolutely no idea about anything that happened in the 80's and 90's whereas to me and my memories it still often feels like it was only yesterday.


message 1197: by Lez (new)

Lez | 7490 comments I always feel really sorry for young contestants on Tipping Point and The Chase who get asked about old films, actors, comedians and TV. How should they know? Quite often I don’t remember either!


message 1198: by [deleted user] (new)

I get fed up of hearing "You youngsters don't know....." from, of all people, Mrs Grizzly!
After 20 years I should be used to it, though quite often she is wrong and I do know what she is on about even if it is from before my time or when I was very young :)
I probably know less about current films, actors etc.


Gingerlily - The Full Wild | 600 comments Ahhhh, the memories!
