Do parents genuinely know if their children are ugly?

    TIL! Completely unnecessary word for it though. Still like it!

    'Male travellers marrying female travellers under the age of 16 is a shibboleth!' (if I understand it correctly)

    It's fine in the context I used. It's a belief held by ugly people.

    And I will now shoehorn the word into my next 10 posts just to be stubborn.

    Sorry, I meant it's an unnecessary word in general, and one which really makes no sense unless you know what it means! Couldn't even guess that one tbh.

    But yes, overuse of this word has now ensued.

    In all seriousness, I think I am unattractive because I'm too dark skinned. I'd like to use a skin lightener to go a few shades lighter.

    In all seriousness, you need to sort your fcuking life out mate.

    Theres 2 options here.

    1. All your threads are genuine, get a professional mental health check.

    2. All your threads are bollox, get a professional mental health check.

    Another thing new parents bang on about is that “new baby” smell.

    Sure, it’s there for a, very, short while but after a couple of weeks you just smell piss, old milk and baby vomit.

    Same goes for the house. It’s like having cats.

    The tide is turning…

    My mother has basically told me that I wasn't the best looking. Not in mean way. She just didn't want me getting notions about myself.

    It bonkers the responses on after hours threads. Sense of humour transplants required.
    Some of the OPs threads are very thought provoking!

    That particular poster likes to emerge from the shadows to take potshots at people, especially if they’re backed up by their mates and the moderators.

    My advice is that it’s best to ignore them.

    I'm more surprised that ye folk actually remember the posters names. Only for all the giving out, I wouldn't know Amy from Adam when a topic is posted (nor care!). Some topics I will reply to, others I won't, even if they're not designed to actually discuss the topic at hand, I find if people actually do, it defeats the purpose of the thread to begin with, and may even lead to a good thread!

    I recognise a few people, mainly the ones who like to slither from the gutters they’re living in to have a go at me. I don’t mind but what usually happens is I’ll have a pop back, hand their arse to them and they go telling on teacher (the moderators) to grass me up. Anyway they’re the ones I remember.
