It's probably something I would have considered in my younger years if I'd had the confidence, and I'm far too old and fat now :) but the fact that dancers have to pay to work has always troubled me. The bf DJs in a heavy metal strip club once a month so I do go, but I support the campaign for change in the industry.

Or a hairdresser paying for a chair in a salon?

Principle. But yes, sort of.

She's pretty tasty. I prefer her with long hair though, think short hair really doesn't suit her.

And RE the option to ignore other users on here, since it's been brought up - I'm not a fan of it. I think part of the experience of being on forums is debating and arguing with people who you don't like or don't get on with. If you're in a room full of people and there are ones you don't like, you can't mute them or make them disappear. Plus I think the act of ignoring someone is pretty rude and snotty in itself.
I'll never be using that function on here, even if other users consistently annoy me - I don't agree with it.

That kind of pain can be an indication of a tooth infection, or also an ear infection.

What do people think about the man who posted the image of the burning poppy online? Is it right that he's been arrested?

Depends what he has been charged with I would say - I haven't seen this story. What are the charges?

obviously, I'm going to pre text this by saying, I in no way agree with what he has done. and if you think im wrong, sorry.

I can see why people take offence to this. but at the same time this youtube link is applicable.

People do this kinda shit to get a reaction, by everyone going "YOU BAD PERSON" they get what they want. I think if we ignore them, go about remembering our heroes like we should, we wouldnt get this kind of boring thing that happens every year. they'd move on to hating about something else. and so on and so forth

Thanks... Well it's already faded since this morning, so I'm hoping not. I also just remembered, it may be my wisdom teeth coming in.

Movember.

Obviously raising awareness for prostate cancer isn't annoying me, but using it to be cool/trendy is. It's like when everyone wore the 'livestrong' wristbands to be awesome.

Someone in my office is taking part, and couldn't look more like a 70's pornstar if he tried.

As above, I support the cause, just not the 'looking a twat' element of it.

Movember irritates me greatly. Not sure why but the gimmicky nature of it rubs me up the wrong way. My football team tried to make me do it with them but I refused. They expected me to shave off my existing beard and grow a moustache. Not happening!

For me Jayne's 'mosista' attempt is what embodies how it's lost the focus, and primarily acts as an excuse to be a bit quirky, as opposed to backing a campaign which you actually care about.

I think the looking ridiculous aspect of it is fine, but a lot of people just use it as an excuse to be all hipster. Good lord I dislike hipsters...so much. Especially after spending the last 2 Saturdays in Shoreditch.

This is why Mr Yudster is not allowed to do Movember.
