"The Wanted" fans!

Ah din't think about that.

Anchors.

I can't raise my spirits. Everything seems difficult, complicated and stressful. I need something to be straightforward. I need some good news.

Or a large vodka.

I saw a great joke the other day. Much better than any of Zoot's.

Archaeologists digging on a Pyramid in Egypt have found a mummy covered in chocolate and nuts. Experts believe it to be Pharaoh Roche.

BOOM!

Stolen!

The front-end Content Delivery Network were having "issues" - the site was actually fine.

Ah, so it was F.E.C.D

Chris Brown getting Rihanna's beaten face tattooed on his neck :\

[Nicola_Red]

Doesn't look much like her to me...and I think the fact that the marks look like bruises is a lighting thing. When you look at a close-up shot of it they look totally different, they're patterns.

[chrysostom]

Meh, I think it looks quite a bit like her (enough like her for people to assume it's her, given his association with her) - to me the eye looks like a black eye, and the lips look stitched.

[The Deadly]

The guy makes my skin crawl.

[Bonanzoid]

His facial hair's as feeble as mine.

[Nicola_Red]

It's appalling work either way. He needs to get a better tattooist. Or, y'know, just stop breathing.

[The Deadly]

Sadly there are a lot of deluded teenage girls who are in love with him for an unknown reason. The guy is a major league wanker.

If you look at the police picture of her after he attacked her, its almost exactly the same. How he can pretend its not copied from that photo is beyond belief.

[dimtimjim]

Words fail me. Chris Brown celebrating the lowest of the cowardice and scumbaggery. What a *.

[Nicola_Red]

I still think the patterns on the tattooed woman's face are not bruises. They look like dia de los muertos (Mexican day of the dead) makeup to me, albeit poorly done. I am not defending that obnoxious excuse for a human, I'm just not seeing what others seem to be seeing.

ETA this pic of a dia de los muertos tattoo by an artist of Spanish heritage. See how the marks round the eyes could look like bruises and around the mouth looks like stitches?

[Bonanzoid]

Some of you will have seen this, but it seems relevant, and it's amazing.

[chrysostom]

^ I love that



This is the design that inspired the tattoo - it seems like it's been adapted to resemble someone who looks like Rihanna though. Nevertheless, if you're a celebrity, and notorious for a specific event - if you don't want it to be spoken about, be more careful about what you get tattooed on your neck.

[dimtimjim]

Either way, he still needs a slap.

[R94N]

He knows what kind of reaction that would have, I bet.

[Nicola_Red]

Just been asked in an accusing tone by a customer if I'm going to destroy his credit card number. I love sitting here taking bookings from people who see me as nothing more than a potential credit card thief. It's my favourite thing.

/sarcasm

[MK Chris]

To be fair, I'm sure it's nothing personal against you, BUT you do have to be careful these days - you're a complete stranger to him and scare stories in the press about some people who take your credit card over the phone don't help. That said, he didn't have to say it out loud - if you were a credit card thief, him saying that to you wouldn't make a blind bit of difference.

[Nicola_Red]

I know, it just narked me. He called us voluntarily and asked to book tickets, we didn't call him. If you're not happy with giving your card number out over the phone there are alternatives, you can call in and pay with cash or send a cheque - don't give it and then make out like it's a problem! (For the record, the numbers go straight into the system and once I press 'make payment' they are gone forever - only a manager with advanced system access could see them again. But as you say, if I was secretly writing it down for nefarious purposes, I wouldn't say "oh you're right, sorry, I've seen the error of my ways" )

[Nicola_Red]

Right, I need help. Can anyone think of a famous english actress called Bridget something (could be like Bridgitte or some other spelling), in her 50s/60s? I can picture her but cannot for the life of me put a name to the face.
