LUSH is also a new descriptive verb we Brits use nowadays to describe everything. "How lush". It's actually Welsh slang. You must say it to rhyme with whoosh, or ooops, not say it like push.
It's a funny word.
& Lush Cosmetics have coined it bigtime. Excellent marketing. When you walk past their store, the smell they're pumping out into the shopping centre seems almost narcotic. It draws you in.

Lush do these incredible "bath bombs". I was given one in my stocking for Christmas a few years ago. Gorgeous organic handmade madly expensive smelly stuff.
I recommend their 'bath bombs', they're fun and hugely luxurious. As for the rest, not sure, I tend to not prevaricate, I ordinarily just buy the same one ordinary time-tested good soap, one or two nice shampoos and always the same moisturiser. I tend not to buy gimmicky mad smelly stuff.

a brush with a sponge? you what?
let me get my head around this... A brush with a sponge? Why would anyone need a brush with a sponge? completely and utterley beyond me.
I understand using a towel to dry my hair, then using a brush when it's dry, but now you say they're selling you a brush with a what?
(I still don't understand that popular flavoured yoghurt as I've always been able to put fresh strawberries or something else nice in my yoghurt. Why would anyone buy a thing that pretends to do two things when you can do it yourself far better?
wash, towel then shake hair, tie up in a loose elastic and wait till it dries. do not brush till it's dry. never use an electric hot hair dryer ever

plastic doll a goal?
I'm going to France next month, Gay Paris for 6 days... I'll have to report back to you.
In England they allow all that American style X-Factor, Got Talent and now even Child Beauty Pageants.
It's awful.
We also here allow the full-on burka and it's all rife, rampant.
Everywhere you look there are white children and their mothers dressed in nothing looking like sluts with fatness hanging out all over everywhere and tattoos - and then there are the other lot wearing black full-on head to toe and they have even more children than the white trash.
Here's me, I'm in the minority, jeans and a tshirt, no kids, no thanks, I have travel plans.
I hear they don't allow the fullon burka in France, so I'm looking forward to seeing that, it'd be different. Just nice hair and colourful and stylish dress perhaps? I'm so looking forward.
If I see a 4-year old with makeup on I'll spit. I'm just about retching as I type this... Imagine what proper religious fully dressed women think of those slutty make-upped hair-sprayed dyed fake American-style pre-pubescent children? I feel sorry for the parents...
No wonder we're all going slowly mad
If this sort of stuff you've posted is to be deemed acceptable or mainstream I'd like to protest.

please please don't post any more pix of 5 year olds in lipstick sexually pouting, it's horrific.

Nowadays you can get into Mahiki in trainers. They've done away with their dress code for two weeks.
Previously they were so strict about what one ought wear...
Nike? Addias? Do come on in. Oh hello. Here's a drink. Welcome.
Then they have the papparazi all queueing up to take pix of you when you come out at 3am.

German Discus Gold Medallist Tears Off His Shirt
Then he takes a running jump at the Olympic flame, does a mad dance with his flag, sees that the Hurdles lanes are empty so goes and runs over all of them.
Then he stays up all night painting the town red (maybe at Mahiki or perhaps a different nightclub).
A few hours later, in the morning, he is found passed out either on a train or at a train station...
He too has been asked to leave London.

Belgian cyclist Gijs Van Hoecke has been sent home from the Olympic Games after he was pictured looking worse for wear after a boozy night out.
The 20-year-old was caught on camera being carried out of London nightclub Mahiki with his top and jeans drenched.
Friends, including teammate Jonathan Dufrasne, managed to haul the young cyclist into a taxi, where he appeared to fall asleep.
While he was jokingly awarded the gold medal for partying, the Belgian Olympic Committee failed to see the funny side.
Van Hoecke, who came 15th in the men’s omnium on Sunday, was ordered to pack his bags and was sent straight home.

Obviously I've no idea whatsoever what DLB or Dat Grill are or pretend to be, I'm over here.
So, if you're not into all the funny loser stories, here's one you'll enjoy instead: the beach volleyball?
Olympics beach volleyball: Third straight gold for American pair
By Tom Rostance
BBC Sport at Horse Guards Parade
Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh-Jennings won their third consecutive Olympic beach volleyball gold with an emphatic win over fellow Americans Jennifer Kessy and April Ross.
May-Treanor and Walsh-Jennings have never lost a match at the Olympics and have only ever dropped only one set.
Continue reading the main story
“
Misty is the best there has ever been and she is like my sister - she has changed my life
”
Kerri Walsh-Jennings
Beach volleyball champion
They were always in control and won 21-16 21-16 in just 36 minutes.
Brazil's Larissa Franca and Juliana Silva beat China's Chen Xue and Xi Shang 11-21 21-19 15-12 for bronze.
May-Treanor, 35, said before the Games that she would retire after the tournament, but 33-year-old Walsh-Jennings intends to continue playing.
Kessy and Ross started brightly to take an early lead but the champions soon rallied to take the first set.
Roared on by a capacity crowd, including double Olympic champion Laura Trott, May-Treanor repeatedly flung herself around the back of the court to make point-saving interventions, while partner Walsh was an impassable force at the net.
Walsh brought up match point with another huge block at the net and the match was sealed when Ross served out.
"It's hard to stay on top," said May-Treanor after confirming her retirement. [/size]

Novels are like movies...only in your head.
I disagree. Firstly, movies are in your face, right in your eyes. It's all right there right now? Novels (good ones) cleverly urge you to imagine, to think ahead, to comprehend human nature, to wonder and to learn stuff about how you feel... I haven't seen a good movie for ages, but that's because I don't like crime or guts and gore or war or vampires or romcom or any of that low-life, can't stand it. There are more great novels out there than I have years left to read them xL You're maybe very young? Whatever. But you make me feel old. |

Not reading much as it's too nice outdoors.
This though is terribly clever and you can dip in and out, just browse. I only really read seriously in the winter months. Plus I'm watching the Olympics... We're "medalling" and we're "about to podium".
I love language and adore words...
Which is why I find your forum so very funny

The Etymologicon
A Circular Stroll Through the Hidden Connections of the English Language
Mark Forsyth
"The Etymologicon springs from Mark Forsyth's Inky Fool blog on the strange connections between words. It's an occasionally ribald, frequently witty and unerringly erudite guided tour of the secret labyrinth that lurks beneath the English language, taking in monks and monkeys, film buffs and buffaloes, and explaining precisely what the Rolling Stones have to do with gardening"

Here for your viewing pleasure are the typeface seen all over everywhere and the vile logo.
Voted as the worst ever typeface invented plus the logo is juvenile crap. The logo is (if you squint) Lisa Simpson doing oral.
Dreadful logo and typeface. The typeface is all over everywhere, the buses, the tubes underground, on posters. Very bad graphic design. Shameful.
But we're bonkers in GB. Go Bonkers !

I said I'd do an Olympics thread, so here it is.
I've not much to say, I'm all Olympics out. It's totally amazing.
But every time they play the gold medal winning athletes National Anthem I have to stand up and recite God save the Queen. I'm tired of this so I've switched it off. I've stood up and sang "victorious, happy and glorious" 22 times now and I'm exhausted...
Comments on our London Olympics please?

in London
I'm thinking it's really rather good
They've invented very clever new verbs: now they're "medalling" or about to "podium" They're podiuming and medalling.
