^ Loads of people wearing masks there. Also i think what they say there is very valid.

slrrrrp · #**23342** 7th June 2020, 21:28

Protesters, people going to the beach, and MPs voting in parliament should all wear these. Actually, everyone.

I hadn't realised they'd stopped publishing schNEWS. I remember reading it in Grubbs whilst waiting for my veggie burger.

if my hair gets any bolder, it'll look like I've got a lampshade on my head.

^ Mine is getting ridiculous too. I think we might need a post your lockdown hair thread.....

Indigo_ · #**23346** 10th June 2020, 10:11

^ I made the best meme of myself featuring my lockdown hair but I'd be too embarrassed to post it

Deer · #**23347** 10th June 2020, 10:41

I had mine tied up with an elastic band yesterday because it keeps getting in my face haha
I never realised how difficult it was to tie your hair up (with an elastic band). I don't have one elastic band that hasn't snapped lol

Ok, whose going first?

I'm soooooo tempted!!!

^ Well done!

I don't know if visiting the hairdresser is an SA trigger for you but if it is, then it will be good that you can give yourself a cool haircut in the future - plus it will save you some pennies

My hair, on the other hand, is getting so long and tatty that I'm starting to look like an eccentric bag lady

Give me some strength!!!
I phone up an elderly relative to see how they are doing and then find myself and my husband being castigated because another elderly relative didn't like a view we expressed on Facebook!! Apparently the fact that we think that statues like the slave trader in London should be taken down because they are totally inappropriate to be shown in public in this day and age and put into a museum with a plague recording the good and bad about that character, is horrifying to that relative

As the conversation descended into comments that I regarded as outright racist and would not post here and anything I said to the contrary wasn't going to make an atom of difference I cut the phone call short by saying I needed the toilet. I feel bad for doing this, but no matter how much I might care for a family member I refuse to listen to outdated intolerant and racist drivel.

Why can't some people at least try to imagine what it might feel like to live in another persons shoes?!

Please don't quote this! I just seriously had to let off some steam before I explode!

^ Oh no, it is disappointing to realise that some older people (and some younger who have no excuse not to know better!) still hold racist views,they're just going to have to come to terms with the fact that the world has changed.

Haha thatâ€™s a cuddle bargain if you ask me!
At first glance I thought the extra cat was a very long shadow.

Seen some ridiculous prices of pets of late. People really milking peopleâ€™s need for company at the moment. Seen puppies for Â£800+.

^ I really wish people wouldn't put animals on websites like that, it's so dangerous for the animals. (Not meaning to be a party pooper but I've heard some really worrying stories.)

That's pretty much what I told my relative - the world is changing and not a moment too soon in my view. Tbh, I don't think old people should use their age as an excuse for racism. People of a different ethnicity haven't suddenly appeared in the UK over night, it is something older generations have had years and years to get used to. If they don't like it they would do better to keep such intolerant opinions to themselves.

Yes me too. It's well known that people buy animals off of gumtree to use as bait in dogfights. There are some extremely cruel people in this world

Far better to go to a pet rescue place where individuals are thoroughly vetted before they can take an animal home.

Dougella · #**23355** 10th June 2020, 20:27

^^ You're right age shouldn't be an excuse, by all means not all older people have those attitudes anyway I'm not sure why some insist on holding on to bigotry.

^ That's what I've heard too and on the other end animals for sale could have been stolen. People really should go to rescue centres if they want to adopt a pet I agree.

That I feel and look like a scruff today.

I thought that also. I noticed that with kittens too. Last year cats were going for Â£50-Â£100 and now they are going for Â£150+.

Ha! I'm still in two minds about buying it. I notice it hasn't been vaccinated so that'll be why it is so cheap.

Yes, it does concern me as well to be honest. That's why I've never used my dog as a stud because his pups would be worth a fortune and I don't like the idea of having no control over where the pups go.

^^ Lucy's Law came into effect in April.

Hopefully it starts the process of eradicating the cruel breeding farms & dodgy private sellers.
