They were talking about faking face-id's on Radio4 today - so it got me thinking and I downloaded an app that applies filters to photos. First app I tried looked at a photo of me at about 18 and thought I was 34 so I gave up on that one, the next app aged me and turned me into something from The Hammer House Of Horrors. If I was bold enough I'd post the after effect - but it's R rated (is that what they used to use for horror?)
I think I recall seeing a documentary about it - called ratatouille or flushed away or some such. Those rats even drove cars - so obviously advanced super rats. A level above Boris then.
Nice idea - Boris down the loo but all that fluffy blond hair would block the toilet bowl. The constant in and out of journalists trying to poke the mike down the loo to get the latest vision of the UK doing wonderfully well would also be a bit of a hindrance to anyone desperate to use the toilet. The rat driving a car - wasn't that the one called........erm..........Jeremy someone ? The list of those who would be best flushed away is getting ever longer IMHO.Â
Went to see my 95 year old cousin today, haven't seen her for 18 months because of shielding and health issues. I have To steel myself she is rather outspoken. When I told her a few years back I had acid reflux she told me I was weird. There I am,put a dress on today, because otherwise there would be adverse comments,black just past the knee, white daisy pattern. Black sandals
 Here I am,size 10 bottom half,12 dresses or tops (because of the double D's) I am 5.1inch weigh 9st 4lb. She looked me up and down told me I was very thin. I might add, I've been doing an excercise program for about 15 years cardio/weights, treated myself to an E bike during lockdown. Did my fair share of narrowing a ton of topsoil round from the front garden. I would say I'm fairly toned, certainly not scrawny,and another few pounds would be in the overweight category.
@Nanny Beach if you are a size 10 it would take more than a few pounds to put you into the overweight category. I think it’s the job of elderly relatives to make unflattering personal remarks so I would take no notice. I am sure you looked very nice.Â

I got fed up being the butt of an older person's comments about my weight. I gave in one day and just said " yeah, but I'll outlive you". No more comments were ever directed at me.
Debs,my BMI is 24.9 at over 25 you are overweight. She's 95, wouldn't be surprised if she outlived me!
 My father's father died at 98. My father at 77 was convinced his dad would outlive him.my father only lived 7 years past his father. My grandfather was the grumpiest,most rude unpleasant man,see, the good die young haha.
I put off visiting my mum as often as I would like because of well- meant personal remarks. I still wear ' slimming' clothes when visiting. NOTE.: All overweight people know they're overweight. They don't need you to tell them.
People who might have taken their diet towards scrawny might need a confidence boost - maybe.. You know them better than I do.
