I'm conscious this might sound patronising to the woman concerned (not loz). Hopefully my point will still come across.
When we went for lunch last week, there was a woman around loz's age, who must have had every bit of 'work' possible.
Stretched and tightened and plumped and filled, with heavy zlisteresque make up on. She looked as though she would have been pretty before it all.
Loz came to mind immediately (almost, almost putting me off my lunch).
BUT
This woman had 3 littlies with her including a baby, all nicely dressed, all well behaved, and she quietly chatted and giggled with all of them constantly, kept them engaged, helped them eat, and at one point gazed and smiled with such love at the baby.
(Presumably) dad joined as they were finishing and got a cloth and wiped the floor.
No mobile in sight.
See loz.
Have all the ridiculous fillers etc you want. Look as ridiculous as you want.
It doesn't excuse you from anything.
You're a fool.
(ps I had a mohican when young crow was a bairn and dressed in full punk studded attire. It would be hypocritical of me to judge how any mum looks.
However I reserve the right to slate the likes of sausage lipped loz and co, mostly because they're gibbering bloody idiots
)
