THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

You wear a bra, Doc??!!??

iturama - 15 Jun 2018 12:33 - 80959 of 81564

all men should know about this sort of thing, as well as what is sexy but tasteful (and comfortable!) lingerie
Used to be that a t shirt and underpants was considered comfortable. How times have changed. I reckon you live on the wrong side of the river C.
I blame ma cherie for bringing up all this sex stuff. She has been embedded with the frogs for too long.

Cerise Noire Girl - 15 Jun 2018 14:59 - 80960 of 81564

Frogs? I was wondering what to have for dinner tonight. Thanks for the legs up, iturama.

ExecLine - 16 Jun 2018 12:47 - 80961 of 81564

Only on a Thursday night, ma cherie.

(ie. After we've watched 'Billions' and which unfortunately, has just finished its third season)

I warrant those lips kissed many a frog before you found your prince.

Clocktower - 18 Jun 2018 16:35 - 80963 of 81564

Those lips being French (by the looks and colour of them) would more likely have eaten a good number of frogs legs and I dare say would have had almost as much pleasure as any other French Kisser would have given.

Fred1new - 18 Jun 2018 17:03 - 80964 of 81564

Hils,

Those lips were very provocative.

Were they taken from a selfie by yourself during a gothic period?

Cerise Noire Girl - 18 Jun 2018 17:21 - 80965 of 81564

Indeed, Fred, but you should know that I just Googled 'rouge à lèvres cerise noire', and linked to one of the images.

Great news!

The types of products with microbeads you will no longer be able to buy from today

A ban on the sale of products including face scrubs and toothpastes that contain plastic “microbeads” comes into force today.

The ban on the sale of rinse-off cosmetics and personal care products which contain the tiny pieces of plastic comes as part of efforts to prevent them being washed down the drain and ending up in rivers and the seas.

Products affected by the ban range from face scrubs and soaps to shower gels and toothpaste. ‘This is by no means the end in our fight’

The Government said a single shower can send 100,000 microbeads down drains to the sea where they can be eaten and absorbed by marine life, and the ban will prevent billions of the plastic pieces ending up in the oceans each year.

Environment Secretary Michael Gove said: “Microbeads might be tiny, but they are lethal to sea creatures and entirely unnecessary. “We have led the way in banning these toxic pieces of plastic, but this is by no means the end in our fight. “We will now press ahead with our proposals for a deposit return scheme and ban other damaging plastic such as straws.”

The manufacture of products containing microbeads was banned in January. The ban on sales comes into force in England and Scotland today, while Wales and Northern Ireland are on track to introduce it by the autumn.

These are some of the products that contain microbeads:

Abrasive cleaning products
Many household cleaning products can contain microbeads to add coarseness to strong chemical sprays.

Anti-ageing cream
To make creams smooth in texture, smaller microbeads are used. Sphericity and particle size uniformity create a silky consistency and increases spreadability.

Exfoliating cream
Larger microbeads have been touted by cosmetics companies as exfoliators. They have been used to scrub the body clean and remove dead skin cells to produce a “feel good factor” after use.

Facial cleanser
Similar to soaps, facial scrubs and creams are another big culprit of microbead use. Whether they are used to lubricate the product or to add extra exfoliating power, a tube of facial cleanser can contain as many as 330,000 microbeads.

Hand soap
Microbeads are used in soapy cleansing products to add texture and make the products more efficient. Over-the-counter drugs As well as their exfoliating qualities, microbeads can also be used to lubricate over-the-counter drugs, making them easy to swallow.

Peeling products Microbeads can be used in chemical peels to aid spreadability and ensure that users can cover all areas of the skin without breaks.

Shower gel Depending on their size and uniformity, microbeads can be used to add coarseness to a product, make it silky smooth, or make it easily spreadable. A typical exfoliating shower gel may have as much plastic in it in microbead form as its plastic container.

Sunscreen
Rounder uniform microbeads are used in sunscreen to make it easier to spread across the skin, ensuring the user doesn’t miss any spots.

Toothpaste Microbeads can be used to smoothen toothpaste or to give extra scrubbing power. They can also be used in different colours to brighten up toothpastes, making them more visually appealing.

Exec,

You may be in trouble without your antiageing and exfoliating creams and facial cleanser.


The girls will stop whistling at you.

ExecLine - 19 Jun 2018 17:34 - 80969 of 81564

Nice to see they're not messing about with bum cream, eh?

Cerise Noire Girl - 19 Jun 2018 17:36 - 80970 of 81564

You use that for the Chalfonts, Doc?

:o)

ExecLine - 19 Jun 2018 18:03 - 80971 of 81564

Not sure yet, Hils. I'll ask me cows and kisses to have a butchers.

No chance.

But an admirable foreign secretary representing his party.
