I've been caught speeding again : (
I need a hug.

Oh dear, Blousie.
How many times is that now?

Two.
In about six months.

Mine have now lapsed, although they're still on the licence.
It didn't make a huge difference to the insurance premium.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:20, Reply)

I wasn't hugely over the limit either time.
I hope they don't make me do one of those speeding courses my sister went on.
( girlinthehole, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:22, Reply)

I wasn't, either.
Still a pisser to realise you've been caught, though.

was it by much?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:21, Reply)

37 instead of 30.
They changed the limit about 5 months ago from 40 and have been deploying mobile cameras on there since then. I must have missed it.

fine and points?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:24, Reply)

£60 and 3 points, usually.

( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:25, Reply)

Probably.
I've already got three points from the last time.

Bloody buggering bollox!

( girlinthehole, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:27, Reply)

I was bored
so had a look on 4od. It was on the front page and I thought oh that could be interesting, but it's just this horrible programme about people trying to turn white.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:30, Reply)

eww
they must be mad, I want a bit more melanin
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:35, Reply)

It's made me feel bad
about complaining all the time.

But I am curious as to why the programme treats it only as a race issue, rather than as body dysmorphia
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:36, Reply)

because body dysmorpha
is just normal these days
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:38, Reply)

It is a race issue really.
Men in Africa and India prefer the paler women as it gives them some sort of status.
( girlinthehole, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:41, Reply)

But the programme
keeps ignoring that loads of the procedures are things that are done by white people to conform as well, not just by black and asian people. And ignoring the fact that there are several characteristics that buck the trend- white women having ridiculous tans to an extreme level, or lip procedures to make them bigger, that kind of thing.

Maybe I just feel uncomfortable at the idea that white skin is so desirable
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:43, Reply)

I thought you just meant whiter skin.
I guess white women just want to change the way they look to themselves and black women want to change how they look to others.

I'll go and watch it now.
( girlinthehole, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:46, Reply)

I'd be interested
to hear your thoughts on it. It's on the front page of 4oD.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:49, Reply)

Very sad to watch.
But it's definitely an issue of race and not body dysmorphia. These people don't think they look ugly, they just want to fit in by looking European. That poor asian women who is slagged off by her own fucking people. It's a disgrace.
( girlinthehole, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 20:42, Reply)

Hm. Echoes of days gone by to be honest.
Any woman of paler skin (no matter the race) was more desirable as it proved she was an indoor type and not given to all that nasty manual labour. It's all about the status innit.
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Wed 23 Mar 2011, 20:37, Reply)

Ugh I watched that.
It's nasty stuff. 4od is full of surprisingly horrible documentaries. I watched one on doctors stealing body parts from funeral homes for bone marrow transplants and the like and it had interviews with the recipients of these "donations", many of whom have hepatitis and stuff now because of these people. It was truly scary.
(Charmander, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:36, Reply)

That sounds horrible!
It's put me off documentaries like this haha

Haha!
Why slightly awkward?
( girlinthehole, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:30, Reply)

I am always slightly awkward when hugging people
especially people I don't know all that well. Actually I'm probably worse with people I do know and don't usually hug - I went to hug my mates when they got married and it was weird
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:31, Reply)

I'm not a natural hugger.
But I've had lot's of practise recently with B3tans : )

I like hugs, I just can't handle initiating them

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:39, Reply)

aw man, I hug the shit out of people
especially when I'm drunk, or if it's awkward, I just hug it out
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 23 Mar 2011, 19:37, Reply)

that's some pretty hard hugging if the shit comes out

Not sure why seeing as there's a lad upstairs knocking it out for a fiver a gram.

I always wonder, is it better to cripple a child for life by hitting them 30mph or hit them at 40 mph kill them outright so everyone can move on?

Well if you do it at 30mph there's nothing stopping you from reversing back over the little bastard
Just to do the job right
