All women look better without make up always.

Lies, damned lies!

- but I do think Irish women wear far too much make-up.

You have obviosly never seen Ginger spice in the morning. Make up is one of Gods greatest gifts.

[Flushdraw]

Pretty women look better without make up always.

FYP

Ugly chicks need all the help they can get. If women stopped wearing makeup, the sale of beer goggles would go up 1000000%

Possibly a way of reducing population growth?

I take it this is a level but just incase. Some women are terrible at putting on makeup and come out looking rediculous those that have the skills are way better when done up. For those without perfect skin, thin lips and what everelse makeup helps fill the gaps nature missed out.

have been told by lots of women that the makeup helps with confidence and confident women are sexier than timid ones in my opinion but each to their own on that one.

I think Emmet posted a video before about some girl getting herself set for a big night in the us. Rough to start with and in the end standard enough. Video eveidence to prove the opposite.

Not a fan of goths, clowns or luminous orange but for all the rest a little goes a long way.

Most women look better with well-applied makeup.

Most men probably would too if it wasn't obvious.

Not a chance.
Beard and a healthy love of comics and Mary Jane.

Also, I've mistaken for zach galifianakis more than once
It used to be Jack Black so an improvement I suppose.

+1000 on this.
Makeup looks well when it appears no makeup was used imo

[Zod]

my beard is the source of my powers.

Make up ftw

A girl I know is after getting the most hideous looking giant tattoo on the back of her neck, ugh. Really don't get it.

[BabyHawk]

Ah, The Tramp Stamp. Top of neck or bottom of back, standard spots for these.

Something doesn't sound right about your operation. You shouldn't be feeling pain in fairness. I done my shoulder in aswell countless times(maybe 13 to 14) when I was between 15-18. Got the pin inserted in February 2009 and haven't dislocated it since


OK, sometimes I feel a bit of discomfort and stiffness, and it takes me a bit longer to warm up from sports like soccer and golf(which is all shoulder work) but it hasnt hindered me really.

On recovery times Connie: They say after the operation it is 6 months to come back for contact sports but golf is obviously not. I was back playing golf after 3 months. I was swinging a club in the living room one handed with the bad shoulder after I got the sling off after 6 weeks, just to strenthen it up and stuff

Disclaimer

SPOILER

I was 19 and probably not fully grown, and may recovered quicker than *ahem* a little older people. Even just ask your doc if you can play a bit of light golf. Even nine holes

I had my surgery at 19 too. I'm just made of soft stuff .

It seems only Lloyd understands.
I'm not going into a long post here now, I'll save it for a rant someday when I'm in a worse mood than today, but the superficial way most of you buy into the illusion of symmetrical magazine women and mistake that for beauty is a bit disturbing.

No I understand the idea completely
However, your idea that symmetrical beauty is media driven is incorrect.
Fibonnaci and the ratio 1:1.618 define this..

Contrast is also the reason people find makeup attractive.

A flying visit post too.

We've evolved to find beauty in symmetry, whether we're fooled into seeing it or not.

Far from disturbing, it's totally normal.

if you want the ugly chicks you are welcome to them

but it's not true symmetry.

TBH once you're burying the bone do you really care wether her makeup makes her look better or not?

99% of men would get up on the crack of dawn.

[tylerdurden94]

Best solution I can think of is to keep the flash version of the site going. It's kind of the industry standard, HTML would prob look cheap compared to others. Really needs to have pictures moving, changing etc

To solve the ipad issue, i'm going to sussest a mobile version of the site in htnl. Lower volume of pics and key details. Basially optimised for iphone/ipad.

Cool hope you get it sorted.

Yea its not the symmetry bit that's disturbing , its the rest of the stuff and the whole peado tendency thats going on... Ignore me while I build it into a proper rant when I'll come on and accuse ye all of being closet peados.

[Lazare]

.

That doesn't really matter, fake symmetry is as attractive as real symmetry in a biological sense.

This is hardly ground breaking stuff, the whole idea of make up is to appear more sexually attractive either consciously or sub-consciously.

[Rufio]

Peado tendency... that's gotta be incorporated into a new bbv title.

[Emmet]

Mini panic attack here with this revision.

Can I get a site ban till may 9th pls??

Cricket is gay if necessary etc

If you really really want to be site banned till that date I will do it, I'm pretty sure that there isn't any problems doing it.

It's a bit of a leap to suggest that attraction to youth is peadophilia. In our society, youth IS beauty. Smooth, unblemished, firm skin gets extremely rare as people get older, and it's highly valued. But it's commonplace among young teenage girls. It's ridiculous to pretend that a lot of women aren't trying to make themselves look like said young teenage girls by being far too skinny and pretending they have perfect skin.

Now if I was to suggest that it might be unfair to arrest a man who acts on his attraction to young teenage girls I might be breaking the boundaries of polite society, and there's certianly plenty of good reasons not to act an that attraction. But you have to admit that it's pretty unfortunate for the guy when so many of the women he's allowed to be attracted to are trying their best to look like the ones he's not allowed.

This can all be resolved by using the word ephebephilia to describe attraction to young teens, to seperate it from paedophilia which is attraction to children. Our society treats them as effectively the same thing, and this is clearly not the case.

[tylerdurden94]

Just want to make sure are you 100% positive that you wanna be banned until that date? Just let me know and I will do so, do you wanna be banned straight away or do you wanna leave it till later?

[Keane]

Andy is a paedophile - he admitted it.

[Emmet]

Ban me, tis for me own good.

Back in a month fellows

[eoghan104]

I need to stop watching The Wire again......

In a meeting today I used the terms "chain of command" and "Is he ready to put in work?"

[Strewelpeter]

How very there you!?!

Oh my namesake AndyFB..carry on then

Bye Emmet G'luck in the exams

[Keane]

Ah, but truth is beauty, and beauty, truth.

Always makes me think of this:

So, for instance, when the Guide was sued by the families of those who had died as a result of taking the entry on the planet Traal literally - it said “Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts often make a very good meal for visiting tourists” instead of “Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts often make a very good meal of visiting tourists” - the editors claimed that the first version of the sentence was the more aesthetically pleasing; summoned a qualified poet to testify under oath that beauty was truth, truth beauty, and hoped thereby to prove that the guilty party in this case was life itself for failing to be either beautiful or true. The judges concurred…and in a moving speech held that life itself was in contempt of court and duly confiscated it from all those there present before going off for a pleasant evening’s Ultra-golf.

Shit. Cat's out of the bag now. Well I guess now everyone knows not to bring their kids to any IPB nights out. So what's changed?

[ArmaniJeans]

Can I claim a 2-1 victory over Emmet in Serie D then? (he leads 1-0 after the first game). Banned players shouldn't be allowed in the comp.

[Zuroph]

cross posting this from the DIY on boards as the BBV always seems to have an answer for everything

stoney broke, but want to breath some new life into my sofas to try get a few more years out of them. Its a standard enough Cream leather 3+2 seater the cushions have sunk badly, and the leather needs a clean but they're in ok nick otherwise. The cushions cant be removed, so with a bit of investigation (i cut open the underside ) i found a zip for the seat cushions. Its above elastic banding holding the cushions up. A bit more investigation and it seems that theres four or five bolts that if I remove I should be able to pull the couch into two parts ( the back and the seats ) I'd then have access to all cushions zips.

so where to from here? anyone done this previously? Should I fully replace the foam, or try top it up with a new layer of something? how tricky is the dissasembling and reassembly? wheres the cheapest place to get replacement foam, whats the best foam to use?

All help and advice is appreciated!

Really blows Coulson and by inference Cameron out of the water.
Prescott on TV the other night via a link and I'd say if he was put in a studio with anyone defending Murdoch he'd have thumped them. I've never heard an English politician so angry.

True but I think that the Meejia don't have the same reach into the depths of peoples souls here as they do in the UK and US, probably because we actually consume far more British media than Irish.
