You saying you prefer tattooed men?

No I was answering the statement about women.

[Pretty Boy]

No problem with tattoos on men or women. A lot of people always bring up that you'll look daft when you're older but 20% of the overall population now has a tattoo and that rises to 29% in the 18 to 44 year old age group. In the US 36% of 18-25 years olds have a tattoo and that rises to 44% in the 26-40 age group. Sure we might look daft one day but there's going to be a hell of a lot of us looking daft together. Those figures are actually quite conservative as they are about 5 years old, masters estimates suggest the 18-29 age group could be as high as 35% in the UK and 49% in the US.

Did I get my tattoo for any deep meaning? No. Did I get it because I think it makes me cooler or more interesting than anyone else? Nope. I got it because at the time I liked it. Do I like it as much now? Not really. Do I regret it? No. Would I get another? Yes.

It's one of those cultural changes that happen and as the people of the age group most likely to be tattooed start to move into positions of power in the workplace and society on general the social stigma around tattoos will start to disappear.

People who prefix a racist statement with "I'm not racist but..."

Lidl - I need 1 onion, I'm making spaghetti and meatballs for 2 people, I don't need a bag of 8 onions. So I just rip the bag of onions open and take one, and get the same "these come in bags, they're not meant to be sold separate" speech from the guy at the till, who then puts the code in to get the price for individual onions.

If they have a code for selling them...sell them as individual onions. I would never need a bag of 8 onions.

But...I just had a cinnamon bun from Lidl just now, it was so good. Usually I just go for a croissant, which are decent too, but the cinnamon bun was brilliant.

[Scouse Hibee]

People in front of me in the queue at Lidl who hold everyone up because they have ripped open a multi pack and insist on buying the one item. The sooner Lidl stop pandering to these folk and refuse to sell multipack items individually the better.

[Peevemor]

Going to Lidl and finding bags of 7 (instead of 8) onions. Don't people know that you can easily store whole onions for weeks?

I wouldn't make, or eat, that. The only time the onion should be the main component of a meal is when it's in onion rings.

Stores that only sell eggs in boxes of six. Why would I want six when I only have one boiled egg for breakfast.

Go to Lidl, just take one out of the box and take it to the till. Sorted.

But firstly, drop the diet, 1 boiled egg isn't enough for breakfast. It's a minimum of 2, but I would go for 3 boiled, or 4 when scrambled.

In the pub, when people decline the offer of a bag of crisps when you buy a round, then proceed to help themselves to yours.

Ah we're going round in circles here....it's becoming quite the chicken and the egg situation.

You only need one chicken though. Lets agree on that.

When you get a craving for a chicken and onion omlette and dont know why.

[Onceinawhile]

Away from eggs and onions. Although I think this has been mentioned.

People who stand up too early on public transport. Train today hadn't even left haymarket and people were queuing to get off at waverely! Ffs, get a grip you pricks. No standing until you are through the second tunnel at earliest.

I have now. I suppose at least he was funny, I was just awkward.

I always have 2 baked potatoes, 1 just isnt enough.

Mark Watson did a reasonably funny 5 minutes on Live at the Apollo about buying 1 carrot at the supermarket.

When you go to Greggs and ask for a sausage roll, then they give you one, and it's cold. Gies a hot one! Are we really expected to ask for a sausage roll to be hot? I don't ask Burger King to make sure my fries are hot. I don't have to remind Taste Good that I don't want cold shredded beef with chilli.

And dinnae even get me started on the lack of sausage in their sausage and bean bake.

[Hibee87]

Im sure there is a reason for this, I think it started arpund the time of the pasrty tax thing. I dont think they can keep them warm on a hot loght or whatever it was that uswd to keep them warm, unless you get there when its just out the oven cold pies and sausage.rolls are what you'll get. :-(
