    One has to appreciate Fool's persistent attempts at keeping the thread bloke-friendly, though:

    I wasn't sure if you were talking about the garments or the women...fortunately you cleared it up with the rest of the statement.
    Hm, maybe I should structure my sentences better? I have an ellipsis weakness It's a bad habit I know!

    I think the scantily clad subject started here, (by a lady, I notice)
    By the way, I've been studying this pic closely and I believe Ms. Welch suffered from mammarial-disparity. ( the right one is deffinately bigger.)

    Now... You make me wonder...

    Ah, there you go! It started on the very first page of the thread... by one of your own needless to say!

    But does it matter? I would have thought there was enough there for anyone.

    I refused to just take your word for it...I spent several hours studying the picture, but I still cannot come to a conclusion concerning the proportionate nature of the glands in question. It may take further study, but commitment is necessary to answer such the mysteries of such anomalies.

    Either I'm bored or I'm hooked, or both, I'm baacck (are girls allowed here?)

    This time I'd like to offer a possible explanation of that "mammarial disparity". Here's my uneducated visual forensic analysis:

    It may all be just a distortion due to lighting. The light comes from the left (our left) and a "mountain" of this magnitude could cast an significant shadow that accentuates the actual size. At the same time, the same light hits the other landmark and de-emphasizes it.

    Personally I'm drawn to the garment itself -- the halter strap...the demi...

    "Oh, yes, I do."
    "In flames and torment?"
    "Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."

    Today I made a new wall of beer. All I need to do now is replenish the liquour cabinet with new whiskey. A 15 year old glenlivet, The french oak reserve, my favourite affordable whiskey. If only I was rich... aha!

    240 bottles of beer against the wall, 239 bottles of beer, 238 bottles. Actually, we're already 10 down, but that's okay.

    Let's see if the picture thing works with facebook and linking it


    Does everyone see a nice beer wall?

    Reminds me of a quote from Porridge. Fletcher notes that one of his mates is so unlucky that if he was born to Elzabeth Taylor, he'd be a triplet on the bottle.

    No!

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    I don't think that I'd want to apply that test at this point. I doubt that the current status of the test subjects qualify for an acceptable study.

    I suspect the potential size difference has disappeared now. Plastic surgeons use standard sizes - big, bigger and huge.

    Having recently been shamed in another thread into admitting to being a Manchester United fan since early childhood, I was wondering how many of our more mature members owned or played Subbuteo when they were younger.
    Do today’s modern equivalents of fantasy football management and X-box style football games really measure up to the world of Subbuteo, where you were the players, manager, grounds men and owner all at once. What lengths did you go to in order to perfect your pitch and your football skills? Did you and your pals have a league? Did you have the rugby version? Was there an equivalent game for American sports?

    We never had subuteo, but my mate did, he had painted the burnley strip on to his players. I had to be sunderland, or sheffield utd or stoke or a random red and white striped team. I was rubbish anyway
