    The media seems to use the term 'selfie' for all photographs on social media, regardless of whether somebody else has taken the photo or not.

    I was reading one of the Sunday papers today and there was a photo of Rihanna lying on a sun lounger with both her arms by her side and the paper referred to it as a selfie, despite it being obvious that it was somebody else who was taking the picture.

    To me a selfie is a picture of yourself, taken by yourself and not a catch all term for a photo of one person.

    Female clothes sizes!

    I'm a 43/44 waist so in men's pants I know where I am but in female pants my measurement puts me at a 24/26 :-/ which are far too big, what the **** is with that!

    Like most women then. Go for the bad boy, then moan about it after.

    To be fair most of the 'nice guys' end up being arseholes too. A lot of the time they're only nice to you if they think they can get with you. Then the mask slips, tiresome really.

    Glitter/shimmer in casual makeup. I'm not a make-up kind of person, but once in a blue moon I'll wear some eyeliner. I like grey eyeliner as it's not as harsh as black, but it's made all around my eyes sparkly over the course of the day. I'm annoyed as I hate glitter but the liner sticks really well. The other one that agrees with me is glittery too. Stop it! :D:(

    Where are you measuring as your waist? Women's waist measurements sit higher than mens.

    The fact that the review page for literally every single app in Google Play has a disparity between the expected and actual numbers of 1- and 2- star ratings. You'd expect a normal distribution taking the form of a bell-curve, or possibly fewer 1 star reviews than two-stars. But no, invariably you get dick cheddars automatically giving a 1-star review for a relatively minor flaw, and 95% of the reviews themselves are useless in actually helping me formulate an opinion as to whether said app is worth installing.

    Son of a gun...

    This reminds me of a review I read the other day where the lady gave a set of super mario room stickers a one star review because it was advertised as being for a boys room even thought the product itself was a brilliant product the title was sexist so that justifies the one star. I thought it idiotic.

    People who put up handmade "happy birthday **** 40 today" scrawled on bed sheets. They usually hang them on bridges or roundabouts, then leave them up for weeks. Litterbugs!!

    We got a new phone system at work recently which includes having voice mail for the first time. Apparently that's far to complicated for the clients calling in. I just went through my voice mail and I had 15 blank messages.

    I think it may help if you posted a video;

    .........there are many qualified experts on DS (not me by the way!) who will examine it closely (and frequently); they’ll then be in a position to offer sage advice which should help expedite your problem;

    ...........bear in mind a lot of people will also take the piss.

    Well baring in mind they posted further up that they are a size 24 or something I don't think anyone is going to be able to see much. I now need to wash my brain out with bleach.

    The extortionate prices of supermarket birthday cards. Morrisons' financial officer will certainly be celebrating today.

    A friend from school got in contact with me recently and she seemed pretty eager to meet so we made plans for tomorrrow only for her to cancel them today. The reason we drifted apart was her tendency to make plans and then cancel them so I guess nothing has changed 😑.

    It's a shame I was actually looking forward to it.

    There are so many idiotic reviewers. Amazon is the worst for this, with people doing things like giving games a one-star review because they've not checked the clearly stated system requirements and are then disappointed they don't run on their ancient computers.

    We bought a tower fan from Amazon a couple of months ago that got excellent reviews all round except for one guy who liked the actual fan but only gave it one star because he had to screw on the base himself - it took me less than two minutes to do this when ours arrived.
