Mary Whitehouse is looking better than when I last saw her !

jno //a question only to be asked by people who shower while fully clad//

or 4 year olds who just see the woman and not the shower

//no point in denouncing skin-shaming and then introducing fat-shaming.//
what the F is skin shaming? have you just made that up?

Fat shaming? I'm saying I find certain body forms in certain items of clothing offensive. Me , personally, myself.....

Saves doing the laundry separately Builder :-)

Hi Naomi! I heard there was a need to add some spice to AB so when I asked to return the powers that be said 'Cumin'! Haaaa!

[AuntPollyGrey]

Can't you just start a 'Hi I'm back' thread instead of jumping on every thread going to tell everyone you are back? Then those that care can give you the welcome back you seem to think you deserve.

[agchristie]

All I've done is reply to those who have welcomed me back.It wouldn't be polite to ignore them would it...

[Ellipsis]

That ad has been remarkably effective - job done ...

Alternatively, you could just ignore her posts? Less fun than spitting venom I know, but also less likely to make you look like an ***.

[Mozz71]

The last word in that sentence really wasn't as bad as "***" makes it look.

[agchristie]

Yikes Mozzy! :-)

[Mozz71]

Yeah, I know. Bad boy :-D

[Zacs-Master]

It does rather look like she’s in the shower with the invisible man standing behind her

[agchristie]

Yeah,a shadowy bloke Zacs haa!

This brings the standard split in views - those who think that ad is 'harmless' and 'a laugh' and people who don't like it need to get a sense of humour - and those who think it is genuinely offensive.

Each has aired their views, and on we go ...

Asking someone to start their own thread (that I don't have to read) is hardly spitting venom. Calm down -less fun I know than having a go.

That was the whole point of my post - almost every thread yesterday was derailed with 'hello it's me I'm back!' posts accompanied by smutty innuendos. One can hardly ignore them without avoiding every thread going.

It was a suggestion -that's all. You, Mozz ,have made it into something else.......but thats what you do don't you?
