my hair is very curly when I grow it, but also very thin and 'white'

I used to go to this afro-carribean hairplace to get my braiding done. First time I did that, silence. Thereafter, lively chat. Even unto a lady giving me tips on how to snag a woman.


I went from 'who the fuck is this twat' to 'poor boy needs a girl' in the space of three visits.


on a side note- those elastic hairbands that say they are non tangle? Lies m8. Proper lies. They tangle.

Braiding?

The is a stalker haunting me across twitter.

People pointed out that from a distance the picture looked a bit like blackface, I said 'oops, sorry' and took it down, and that was it.

Oh, and I've just seen I liked it. Plagiarism worthy of Johann Hari himself.

No, it's not -- you need to up your game.

There couldn't possibly be anyone else who personally knows people on both sides of this argument.

Why even post that without bothering to even wink or hint at what the argument is? Passive-agressive navel-gazing at its finest.

I really wish people would stop writing articles telling me I'm stupid for ever taking criticism from women of colour seriously.

Being called a racist = you learning eh laurie. The same way as you berating and chest prodding others is teaching. Sickening. Truly. Deeply.

I literally cannot be arsed reading that. I got about two sentences in and my brain just stopped computing.

I tried to read it, I really did. Utter guff. Is it supposed to be political in some sense? The final Derren Brown quote (ffs) is quite amusing, given the context...

From that article:

David Baddiel’s current stand-up show is ostensibly about fame, and the pain of losing control of your public image. (He notes he is commonly depicted as either a “stereotypical lad” or a “racist caricature of a smug Jew”.)

He wishes. He's best known as being an unfunny prick.

Or that bloke skinner was funnier than. Despite skinner not going to oxbridge. Still, they needed an oxbridge angle to sell it to the BBC.

Thanks for that link - you've just made Polish grammar look interesting (does not compute).

Not to mention (call me shallow, if you must) more attractive.

I literally cannot be arsed reading that. I got about two sentences in and my brain just stopped computing.

I'll summarise:

Andrew O’Hagan’s long, brilliant essay...Julian Assange’s ghostwriter...Dreamworks film...Twitter’s search function...John Banville's The Untouchable: “Diderot said”...what a bizarre funhouse reflection my Twitter presence is...Facebook is hardly better...I’m still performing a gossipy caricature of myself, only this time it’s a version I’m happy for my friend’s mums to see...John Updike was right...“YOU can win the X Factor”...David Baddiel’s current stand-up show...“I’d sooner cut my balls off than Google myself”...like any intoxicant, there’s a comedown...the comments on Mail Online about it were horrendous...Derren Brown...Channel 4 specials...everyone who’s been in Big Brother...White Dee from Benefits Street...as Molly Crabapple writes...Freud called it...this blog puts it...I am not James Delingpole...I am not Suzanne Moore, or Zoe Williams, or Laurie Penny...Tumblr...a bonus gif

HAPPY?

Oh by far.

What was that? You all want to see some of Baddiel's unrecommissioned monologue show A Stab In The Dark, also featuring a baby-faced Michael Gove?
