      I think black and Asian women get away with doing this, otherwise you need to get tanned or apply tan.

      3. Overweight people, male or female, shouldn't wear tee-shirts. (Is that how you spell it? T-shirts?)
      Either way will do, I think Mary. I think T-shirts look passable on larger people as long as they aren't too tight-fitting against unwanted bulges!

      4. Don't wear sleeveless tops if your upper arms wobble.
      I think the term is, "possess bingo flaps"!

        2. Natural fabrics are better than synthetics.

        The most sensible set I've seen yet, Mary.

        I loved my Nain's wobbly arms. When I was a nipper I'd go up to her & say "Can I play with your arms, please Nain?" and she'd just stand there with her hands on her hips so I could put my face on the underside & just blow

        Then we'd both fall about laughing & then we'd hear Taid coming up the hall demanding to know what all the noise was about and Nain would be shushing me.

        Happy Days!*




        * We made our own fun in them days

                I'm always very careful cycling around the Vauxhall gyratory to make sure I'm in the correct lane! It could be a matter of life or death!!

                  All human life is there, eighth - with the alternative odd mammal thrown in.

                      She obviously wasn't obeying the rules, ams!

                      Luckily, I know enough Welsh to know who you're talking about. It sounds a happy relationship.

                        I think Bingo Wings is such a clever way of describing wobbly arms....

                          I don't think there's any part of a man that looks revolting, in general. Agreed that some bits look better than others

                          Women who cram their feet into pointed, high-heeled shoes have the worse feet - deformed toes, & stretched tendons.

                            Apparently later in life when they have to wear flat shoes, they have trouble walking due to those tendons....

                              Yes, Victoria Beckham has said that she has to wear high-heeled slippers because she can't wear flat shoes (not that she can be described as being 'later in life').
