Also, the adverts over here are very risque, I saw a Womens Advert for Genetalia Soap with a woman on a beach with a beaver beside her and the strapline was "take care of your beaver"

Yeah I know what you mean! I saw a 4 year old kid, his mother, and grandmother in Tesco's at 3 in the afternoon in their PJ's. The mother and grandmother had matching ones, I kid you not. But to be fair each was wearing different footwear. One had Rockports on, the other was modelling fake Uggs.

What I have actually wondered is whether these people actually wash? Do they get up, shower, and think right, I'll put back on my dirty PJs that I have just slept in which seems to defeat the object of having a shower, or do they think sod it, why bother?

I'm really not bothered by pyjamas or bogan-type people, virtually none in our area anyway.

It's a small price to pay to be completely rid of people wearing Kappa or Umbro tracksuits, replica football shirts or any other nylon based attire. Or on a hot day no-shirt at all in the supermarket.

So are you more bothered by posh people in fur coats? Asking you to hold their Gucci handbag for a moment while they clear up after their miniature chihuahua . . .

Well living in a new suburb with mainly youngish 2 income/2 kid families and newer immigrants (mainly Asians and Indians) the people are pretty bland.

I am constantly amazed by the array of really bad tattoos, often on women. A girl in the poster shop at Harbour Town last week had a really clumsy black tribal thing tattooed right across her chest. Now thats gonna look lovely on the wedding photos eh?

Also, the many kiwis who feel the need to have a wobbly outline of New Zealand tattooed onto their bodies, just in case they forget what it looks like.

And, while I am on a roll, whats with those horrific earrings that stretch massive holes into your ears? People will be wearing plates in their bottom lips next.

I'm pretty broad minded where tatts are concerned but that reminds me of my ex OH.He had a tatt done by a backstreeter tatt artists and truly,you had to contort your head to actually try and decify what it was supposed to be!(A grim reaper......alledgedly!)I have a tattoo on my right breast,I figure when I get old,thats one place that won't be on show.The ear thingy's that stretch?Can't understand that one for the life of me!I mean if you get sick of it what are you going to do?Sew the hole back up or what?
