Hi, Tynies. Today we talk about the weirdest things that we've seen on the tube. We also talk about Hillary Duff's comeback and reminisce on our favourite naughty's trends. And if I could ask you guys to please subscribe to our YouTube channel at Wednesday's podcast. Love you. Tiny's, welcome back. We've got Georgia on the pub with us today. Hi. So how did you get here today? What's full of transport? I got a taxi today because I was running so late and I thought, I'll stoop get a taxi so I can do my makeup in the taxi.

Perfect. which was great, but I felt, I feel so sick every time I get a taxi these days. Black calves, I feel like they make me so car sick. Because they do like, you're like a minibus. Yeah, and I think because you're looking at, if I was doing my, because I was doing my makeup. And I was watching Housewives, so, you know, it's had a lot going on. That is a lot going on. Which Housewives do you watch?

Sol Lake City, really. Oh my God, everyone watches this, Salt Lake City. You don't watch it? I know. No, but it's like, quite... I've accepted that I'm not a part of the Housewives train. Like, I've just accepted it. It's gone on way too long.

I can't just start now. That's what like gets me through life Like every day I wake up and there's one episode of housewives I'm like okay that's my one piece of TV I'm watching today And I really look forward to it Do you like watch it in the shower? Yeah or I watch it like after Bella's gone to bed Like my one episode

Like you don't really have much time to watch TV when you've got a baby So I was on the tube the other day And I need to tell you I saw the weirdest thing It was like the middle of the day So it was like quite quiet on the tube As in like people weren't standing up Everyone had a seat which was quite nice Gorgeous

I hear this noise and I was like Tell them something like clipping their nails. It's like, weird. I look in front of me, like, she was like, stood in front of the door in the corner. A woman. Just clipping her nails. No, I know. Just clipping away.

Clip. Clip. And they were like flying everywhere. And I was literally in disbelief. Like, as if you're doing this fucking thing that should be kept very much so to the bathroom scenario in the tube. Her dirty old nails. That's horrible. And I was just like, I wonder what.

wild things happen on the tube that people, because even when I see people like, launching into a sandwich, I'm a bit like, cusping. I'm being like inappropriate for the tube, but it's okay. I was going to say that. What are your thoughts on eating on the tube? I don't think I would do it, but like, if you've got to eat, you've got to eat. I guess it's just like one of those things where I'm like... And how smelly it is.

Yeah, like, smelly crisps. I'm like, it's a really enclosed space. I know. Just let's wait till you're outside for that. I agree. or like a coronation chicken sandwich and like... If you want a croissant,

I'm not going to be that my own in a lot. Yeah, croissant's all right. What else is acceptable? Anything that's just like too using like a wooden fork, I'm like, it's just a step too far for the tube. Yeah, I feel like

like a sandwich is all right. But do you know what I mean? I'm not going to get my M&S super nutty salad and like put the dressing on the top and then just... I'm also like you're on the tube for a quick amount of times. Yeah, it's stressful.

Yeah, it is stressful. I find getting on the tube of the coffee so stressful. I did my... I had my other coffee this morning from my side girls. And I was sipping it and I was like, this feels really weird and I feel like people looking at me drinking coffee on the tube. Obviously they're not.

I was like, I got in my head about it so much and I was like I feel also like I'm drinking pollution. Do you ever get that? I was like, the air around me, I'm like, it's going into my mouth and I like freak myself out and I had to stop drinking the coffee and I throw it away afterwards. It's soft.

Genuinely, that's why I've got another one. Really freak me out. So the tinies have written into us the weirdest things that they've seen. Okay, oh my God. God. Someone threading their facial hair on the tube. No.

Stop! How can you see what you're doing? You need to... I don't understand. I guess if they've got like the real technique. But how... That's a skill. That's actually...

I'm impressed by that. But also like, I'm desperate times called for desperate emotions. I do understand that. But where are you going on the tube where you need to be hairless the other end? I'm like, I'm getting on with a moustache and I'm leaving without one. Maybe it's just being really time efficient.

must be really quick as well. She's a busy woman. Maybe she's got one of those, I actually have one of those devices, the tweezer man, it's like a... Does it work? It's like, yeah. It's like a wire and you can go like that.

I would never dream of doing that on the tree. I even find, because sometimes I get my eyebrows threaded in the middle of my local shopping centre and I'm like, I feel very exposed. I'm not sure about that either. Yeah, but eyebrows is one thing, but when I see people getting the whole face redid and like,

I don't know if I'd do that with a million people watching me. It's really like personal. Even in blink on the Kingsrow, people walking past, like, looking and I'm like, ooh. Yeah, no, I'm only getting eyebrows done. Well, so people now know I have a hairy up a lip. Yeah, exactly. I'm not sure if I won't even see that.

So this tiny was on the tube, and she said that she saw someone doing the grapefruit method, which I actually don't know what that is. Do you? Never heard of it in my eye. Right, so our producer just told us that it's actually when you slice off each end of the... Not pomegranate. Great fruit. Pomagran, it definitely wouldn't work for this. Cut a hole through the middle and then you sort of essentially put it on the willy and then like use it as a form of...

A mouth? Yeah. Almost like a sex toy and I'm assuming you sort of like, you know, you lifted it. I'm not going to action it out. But up and down motion to perform a sexual act. Can I just say? Now, that's way easy than giving a blow drop. I'm going to do that.

I'm just not going to do the end. Why does no one told me about that my whole life? Starring. Go to buy a grapefruit straight after this. That is genius. That's the best show ever. I'm like, oh my God. Fair play.

She's definitely on her way to one night sand. I can't. She's like, see me a to suck this guy off. Oh my God. Also, you can't just lop the ends off. You need to dig a hole. Yeah, that's like quite a lot of effort. That's what you get on the street.

Dig a hole. I can't do that the chief. It's really mental. Messy as well. I'm also like, she's definitely just assuming no one's gonna know what I'm doing. I know.

To be fair, if I was doing that, I would be like, she really hates the core of this grapefruit. Yeah, to be fair, actually, if you're eating a grapefruit, you're not going to take the hole out. You would just like cut it and half,

slice it up. To be fair, you do eat the middle of the grapefruit. So she was probably thinking snack and blow job tool. Perfect. It's ideal. Honestly, I can't really have never heard of it.

Never catch me giving a blowjob again. Also, you'd need to make sure the hole wasn't too big because otherwise it just wouldn't... Yeah, quite technical, actually. Also, can I say, grey fruits are citrus fruits? Imagine that... Yeah, would that not sting? The men in the room are like, yeah.

Right. A dog eating a chunk of raw meat on the tube. Again, it goes back to the eating thing, doesn't it? I'm not sure about... Raw meat, no. the tube. I'm also like, how are you storing that in your pocket? Just whipping out of steak. It's just so fucking weird. That's such a good point. Okay, right, someone pulled out a boiled egg into their mouth, whole, spat it out,

hole, and then back in the lunchbox. So they just put the egg in, spat it out and put it back in their lunchbox. What's wrong with people, honestly? People are so weird. People are peculiar. Especially, you find them on the tube, actually. I wonder if there's certain locations. where they just like accumulate and you get some real niche characters. Like certain line. Yeah. They definitely will be.

I reckon central line, a lot of action happens on a central line. I was going to say central line. Just feel like it's a good mix of everybody on there. I've never seen anything that weird other than the nail clipping. No, I've seen like people like passed out. Yeah. Like, you know. Drunk.

Yeah. Someone saw someone pickpocket somebody. Have you, do you follow that pickpocket London account? No, but doesn't he go around like? catching people out. He's like, Pit pocket, pickpocket! We need more people like this. Yeah, he like films them so you can like

and he'll be like they operate in this area. I mean, I would never probably recognise their faces but if you go to those area loads you'd then recognise like that's Pitpocket and he films him and like throws like red paint on them. He's like, Pit pocket, pit pocket! Oh my God, that's freaking great. It's really good. We need more shit like that, don't we?

Yeah, we do. Vigilinches. I also find it so fascinating like how you can train to be a pickpocket because I'm like Loki would love to like have that skill. I just think quite, I don't know, useful. I don't know what I'd use it for. It's just nice to have, isn't it? It's like having another language. Yeah, if I ever need to pick pocket. I could. I got that skin on my back pocket. Got that up my sleeve. We need to talk about Love Island. Everyone's talking about Lucinda and all her drama. So there's this girl on it called Lucinda. I don't know if she's, has she kissed anyone.

Yeah, she has. She's kissed, I think she kissed Kieran. So is Kieran the guy that's also with Sammy? Because I like Sammy a lot. Yeah, I think Sammy's really good. Yeah, so Kieran's with Sammy. And they had a really good connection. He's being a bit stupid, I think. He's not dumb. Is that producers being like,

just give it a go, it's early days. And I feel like he's probably just really flat at it. He's got two beautiful, beautiful girls after him. So he's just like, ooh, this is good. Never had this any option. Yeah, but he's being, I'm like, Han, you need to hang on her. She's gorgeous. I know.

She also just gives marriage material, like just a solid girl. Definitely, yeah, definitely. Good morals, normal. She was going up Sam Thompson, wasn't she? recently. Yeah. She was. I don't know why he left that.

Me? I thought exactly the same. That is the best you're ever going to get. She's so beautiful. Anyway. So anything else from Love Island? Because I haven't been watching it. I've just been seeing the clips.

So this is the main thing at the moment is the Sammy Lucinda. And then like the Scott, he's been causing a lot of drama. But I think he's really good for TV. So they like need to keep him. You always need people like them. Yeah. He's like got opinions on everyone. and there's just, you know, there's not many, no one fancies each other in there.

I keep seeing people like talk about it saying the line up this year is really crap. Which is so insulting to everyone in that. I'm like that's so big. I think we're not all individually good characters, but I have like a theory on Love Island All-Stars is that like they go in at a certain like what they think they can get at. An expectation, yeah. And then once they come out of Love Island after the first time, they can get like way above their league because they're famous.

And then they go back in and then they're mingling with other famous people but they're like, well actually on the outside I would get like way better than you. Right. That's my theory. So none of the fancy each other. Would that work in more of the,

not to be like making it about gender, but I feel like that would happen more with boys. Yeah. Because like a girl that's maybe a bit younger sees him and she's like, okay, he's quite famous. Like I can look past fat. I don't really fancy him because like he must be quite cool. Yeah.

Whereas I don't know if that would work with girls. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if always like fans go famous girls as not. Yeah. So Hillary Duff's touring. I'm obsessed. Did you see her like, I don't know if it was the first thing that she posted and it was like, when there's a girl.

Yeah, yeah. And also, have you seen all the memes of her just giving like nothing? No. Sorry. Because you know like back in the day she was like very latlaster in her dances. And like even in like a funny way, it's like almost iconic. Right. And like there's loads of memes of her like doing dances on stage and she's like even more

lataster. they're like, Hillary, is she like, is she trying to just be iconic? Like, she's giving nothing on purpose or is that just her, but it's so funny. Like, she's just like. Yeah, I've seen it when she's been stood like, just face and she's like, let the sun come down and get my dreams. It's so good. She looks phenomenal.

I've never known someone to age, that is aging backwards. Yeah, well, she's done something fantastic. She looks so good. I can't with all this, like, accusing of people like having 10 face-ifs. I'm like, surely some people do just age really well. Or I feel like sometimes it's just like not a facelift, but it's probably like your like threads or something. Yeah. I actually really believe Kendall Jenner hasn't had a nose job.

So do I. I don't think she has. I don't. Her nose is the same. It's just slimmer and got contour. So groovy chick. That's another thing of this age. Loved groovy chick.

I had it on my duvet. It was purple. I had like all the stationery. Oh, gotcha. Also did you have a blow up chair, armchair. Oh yes I did. Yes, I did. And we used to get it from the Argos Casalock, I believe.

It was so good. circle bits and bobs from there who are really good. What else was like that in that age? Like a larvae lamp? Oh obviously. Let's go with all your groovy chick Yeah yeah yeah 100%. I wonder if groovy chicks still about, bless her. I think she is. I think she's probably

had her time. How weird that someone literally just drew a cartoon and it was like so big and every young girl wanted it. It was the coolest thing ever. I always begged my mum to let me wear the jelly heels so there was no way I was allowed to wear those. I used to dream about those jelly heels It's like, I.

I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Mom was like, no, you're 10, you're not wearing high heel. Same. I was so restricted. I was like, I meant to be a fashion Easter and you're stopping me doing it. You're like thwarting my potential. True. I was so devastated.

And then do you remember like the plastic slides? I'm like, they were like mules. Heeled. Yeah. Oh, yes. I did. I was actually allowed those as fancy dress. They were great.

I wasn't allowed those either. My next one neighbor had them. I was so. jealous. She used to have everything because she was a couple years older than me so she'd get everything ahead and I'd just be so dear. Can I say I was such a loser at school that my mom

my heartstrings is so embarrassing so obviously you know school bags were like it was like cool to have a cool school bag my mom because I don't know what she was thinking literally made me have a briefcase on wheels on my oh my bed

so I would wail in my school bag and it was when I was in year 7 I was like a bit of like a bit of little chubby geeky with like my centre parting with my little bits coming out and I would wheel in my school bag like all the older girls must have been like who is this absolute loser? At least

your back was intact and that's what Sarah would have been thinking about. She wasn't thinking about my credibility the street cred went way now I actually am mortified thinking about that it's actually quite horrendous that you're just setting your child up like year seven turning up to yeah turning up to senior school with your wheel on wheel in briefcase

how long did you have it for? I think like halfway through year seven then I had to be like mom and people laughing at me oh my god why didn't you protest there and then was it just bought for you like you've got to take it i don't think I really realized yeah and then until like maybe some older girls were like why did you have a brief and i was like oh my god jeers is like having a rucksack that's really bad it's worse than having a rucksine no it is it is quite horrendous but your back's intact that's the name thing because having all those books we then went through a phase about having bags was then uncool and no and had bags no one would carry their books.

Oh, God, that's not very practical. Well, I know, but that's what we all used to do. What else was there? Really baggy jeans. I used to have a pair of S Club 7 baggy jeans, which were my pride and joy. They were like S Club 7 merch basically, but they were like massive flats.

I don't think I had those. Oh, I did have a chain though on my jeans. Do you remember there? Yeah, yeah. Do you remember sketches? Oh, yeah, 100%. I feel like sketches still are about, aren't they? Yeah, probably.

Sketches trainers? Yeah. Wait, what platform ones did you have? Show me. Red and yellow platform sketches. I also, oh God, that doesn't sound like a vibe now, does it? No.

I also think, like, we have such iconic ways of, like, dressing that we don't have that anymore. Like, your kid's not going to have that. Like, Bella won't. We're so paired back now. Yeah, it's true, actually. Or do you think we'll look, actually, yeah, what could we possibly look back at this fashion and be? Everything's so normal and, like, paired back. There's nothing like that.

nothing stands out that much. No, but I feel like that's because we've been in clean girl era and I feel like we're emerging out of clean girl era into like messy, unique dressing again. You're dressing in the 90s? That was like like this. It was like so normal. I'm like from then on it's like been quite solid.

And then we went through a weird face and move younger and I know what happened to us. Yeah. We just, Paris Hilton I think sort of messed it all up for us. But they're quite iconic. Yeah. And it's like the white lipstick, the whole thing. Okay, right, the aliens that you would get in the egg.

Love they. Did you ever get on to have a baby? Because I remember everyone used to be like my aliens had a baby. I don't think they did. The amount of liars that they were back in the day. I'm like, I swear half of people in my class would lie and say they all had babies after they put them in the fridge. Same, and mine never had a baby, so. Never.

Do you remember shag bands? And then if you wrote them, you had to like kiss or have sex or someone. We were like 10, like, oh no. Fuck. I don't even know if I knew what sex was when I was yet. I don't think guy. I definitely did it. So premature.

I was such a little prude, going to an all-girls school. I don't know anything. Do you remember, like, your first kiss? Yeah, I literally ran away. I was so scared. It was like the worst thing ever. Yeah, terrified. Although I'm never doing that again, girls.

How old are you? Like 30. Yeah, I was like the same age and it was like the worst. I felt like I was quite old for my, compared to my peers. And I was literally like, everyone would stare. Like, everyone would stand and watch you watch. What was that? That was, that was, that was, that was,

pure anthropology. We were just like, we need to just study this even behavior and see how it's down. Terrify. I remember there was, like, when I was at prep school, there was a few girls that were just, that I'm still very good friends with that were quite, like, mature, let's say, and just had boyfriends younger than the rest of us. And the whole school would just sit around and watch some kiss

after dinner time every day. Just the weirdest thing ever. Like, we'd all sort of stand in the group. And just be watching the chat, and then they'd just kiss. And it's actually so strange. I think about it. Do you feel like people do that, like young kids will do that now?

I don't think because they've got Instagrams and like they just have access to watch. They just know more about life. Yeah, whereas we were like, whoa. Yeah. Oh my God, they're kissing with tongue. But perhaps still how old are you? I think we were like 12.

We were like in year seven. That is when I had my first kiss and it was awful and I ran away too. Yeah, I think I was in year seven. Terrifying. I was like, is what it's supposed to feel? Feels like horrible.

It's like really slobbering around. I was just like, oh my God, this is just the worst thing. And then you're, watching things like Cinderella story and it's just also... That is the problem. We had that as an expectation. Yeah, that was like our only insight into romance and relationships.

Oh, God. Yeah, that you'd come to the prom and they'd see you and just fall in love and then it would be like, that would be it, you'd get married. Yeah, and that's your husband for life. But Chad Michael Murray, with her and the Cinderella story, that was like one of the first... That was like one of those vibes where you'd like fallen off for somebody of the TV. Yeah, for sure.

My first was definitely Zach Ephron. in high school musical. No, mine was who? Think about Peter Pan. Oh, me too. Oh my God, I used to love him. He was called Jeremy Sumpter.

I remember that because I was so in love with him. I was so in love with him. I don't think he was ever in anything else. I think that was it. He did a one take wonder and that was him done. He was gorgeous. He was so fit. And I was like, fully in love,

fully, fully, fully, fully enough. Yeah, me too. I loved him so much. We must have been really young as well. You especially. You must be like that. I remember just, I loved him so much. much. And then the next one was when I watched Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio in it,

like that film and him in it. Did you ever watch the really old Romeo and Juliet? I'm going to beat for him. No, but I know who you mean. Oh my God. And she is so beautiful. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember watching that school and being like, hello. I need to watch the whole thing. He's so good looking. I would still find that shit on the internet. Because sometimes old films are really hard to find. Yeah, that you probably are probably really hard to. Must be able to. You've watched it at school. Okay, shall we do dilemmas?

Yeah. Okay, dilemma one. Hi, I hope you're both well, and Sophie and Little Ziggy are well. I really enjoy hearing your insights on other people's dilemmas, so here's mine. I love my boyfriend of four years. He is caring, kind and makes me feel so safe. Recently, as you would have heard, Harry Stiles is releasing new music. I was very excited about this, as a long-time One Direction and Harry fan,

and suggested my boyfriend that we should try and get tickets to his upcoming tour. He immediately got upset and said he would never go to a Harry Stiles concert with me again. We went a couple of years ago when Harry was last touring and apparently he was uncomfortable with how excited I got during the concert. And from a joke I made about Harry being my whole past and saying how much I love him. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. He feels like I was seriously infaring that I want to cheat on him.

It really bothers me how much he has been bothered about this for years and never once brought up with me until now. It's also hurtful to me that he believes that I would choose. cheat on him. We're now not talking and I think the whole argument is completely ridiculous. Help, what should I do? Here's a pick of us. Oh yeah, let's see. Gorgeous. Gorgeous couple. Like, absolutely gorgeous. I'm so surprised. He seems like he looks like a really handsome, secure man. I don't know why. He's so jealous. He's not giving me that Harry Styles jealousy energy. I would be like, that's so strange for you to be jealous of a famous celebrity I'm ever going to

meet. Like, he must fancy some celebrities. Oh my God, he fancies loads. Come on. Yeah. Like, you know what you should do? Take him to watch the handmaids. Housemaid. Housemate. And you'll see Sydney Sweetie's and, you know, that all settled everything.

You'll be like, why you're enjoying this so much? Why do you think the film's so good? You're clearly so jealous, blah, blah, blah, blah. Trust me, my husband would have Sydney as his whole past for sure. Oh my God. Or Carly Jenner. You know what?

Toby told me that he had a few. I can't remember. I think it was Sydney, Sweney, someone else. And I was like, huh, they don't look anything like anything like, he said exactly. So I'm not want to go if someone who looks exactly like you. I was like... Interesting.

What? He was like... He was like... He's all just have massive boobs. Like, Sydney, Sweeney, Kylie Jenner, and I'm, there's a theme here. Oh my God, no, that's quite annoying. I'm like, why? It's like, when they choose the from...

It's so opposite to you. I think you need to give him reassurance. And also maybe don't laugh at him over this because it's struck a nerve somewhere. Obviously, he thinks that you're like, it's a doable scenario as well. It's really bad. I'm like, babe, look, I know.

Harry Stiles and me. you know, it's never going to happen. I wouldn't say yes. Don't worry about it. Yeah, I know he'd want to, but honestly, I would say no. He's also got a girlfriend. I'm like, who's his girlfriend? Oh yeah, God, of course.

I think this is just really strange because I'm like, if he doesn't get jealous, like, day to day with you. He obviously just doesn't like the thought of her really fancying someone else. And it's made him feel uncomfortable her being, like, giddy over seeing him in real life. Yeah. Which, to be fair, actually, thinking about it right now, if Barry saw Kylie Jenner and was like throtting at the mouth, I would be like, ew, shut up, like put it in your pants.

So I kind of get that. It's different with this like childhood. Like people died over one direction. Like they genuinely were... I'd be thropping at his house. Oh, obsessed. I think we'll would. But I will say I'm not like a fan.

I love them and I love this music. But I'm not... I have never been a fan of like One Direction to be honest. Or Harry Stiles in particular. Like a go hard fan. Yeah, same. Like in one direction. So I'd be like take it or leave if I see the concert.

I'd go, I love him, but I'm not like, one of those people that's like, you know how people have it with Justin B, but I have that with Justin B but I would have that. It's that same feeling that I think this girl had with Wendy and Harry. So I can understand it, and I do think if the shoe was on the other foot, as you'll just says, you wouldn't, you wouldn't love that.

But you'd probably get part, like, you'd probably like, roll your eyes, whatever, you're never going to see them again. I do think that we need to keep this sort of thing within the girlies. Like, there's only a certain amount you need to share with your partner about how much you're obsessed with another man. Yeah. I think just it's just...

I think go, if you go with friends, scream all to your heart's content. Yeah. And you need to really reassure it with and be like, look, it's something that's come from like the child within me. It's in a child work that I'm doing. It's not serious. I don't want to run away with him.

Obviously. It's just like quite laughable. Yeah. But also I do understand because if I think if he was like that about someone, you would get pissed off. You'd be like, shut up about Sidney's Tits. Yeah. So.

Yeah, there's only so much you can take before you're like, okay, it's getting annoying now. Bless him, he's kept that in here for the last like three years. And now the concerts come up, he's like, fuck's sake. Can't do this again. I can't go through three hours. You need to just go with your friends and just really reassure your sweet boyfriend. And you're gorgeous together. I think you're going to make it a long, long time, guys.

So sending you lots of love. Okay, Dialama 2. Hey, I have a problem with a new tattoo. My boyfriend keeps saying he's going to be. again. For context, me and my boyfriend have been together for three years and he's currently away with the Navy for seven months. Every place he's going, he's getting a new tattoo to remember the destination of memories. I like tattoos and have some myself. I'm not a huge fan of having lots, but this is something I'm able to look past. The new tattoo, how funny we just need to

talk about us. The new tattoo he wants is a mermaid with double D boobs. I felt my blood boil when he said this. I know I don't need to fit. He said a mermaid with double T-tit. Yeah. Do you need to include how big the woman's boobs like you could have just blamed that on the tattoo artist and then like she did he didn't just going to get a mermaid whoopsie he did made their boobs man yeah I felt my blood boil when he said this I know I don't feel this way because I'm jealous it was more about how he made me feel as a woman my view is it's just unnecessary and he would think it was strange if I got a naked man on my body I wonder if the na nipple's going to be out as well um if I got a naked man on my body because

why would I do that I just keep imagine clocking eyes with the mermaid during sex and it makes My skin grew all fair. Yeah. Am I overreacting? This is a valid thing to put my foot down on. I've never complained or tried to steer him away from a tattoo before, but I think it would make me feel sick. Please help.

That's very interesting. I do totally understand what you feel. I so totally understand, but I'm just thinking if this is a girl writing in to say, my boyfriend doesn't want me to get a tattoo. I'd be like, how dare he tell you what to put on your body? Yeah, that's tough. But then what if he was like, she wants to get a man with a massive will. on him. I would be like, babe, don't do that to yourself, if, in my opinion. Yeah. Because that's

on you forever. I think as a compromise, maybe he could get some A boobs, not double D. Even like a, even like a B or a C. Yeah, like, why are we going to go regression in with the double B? Maybe get like lovely in proportion, whatever the size of the mermaid is. Yeah. Why don't we let the artist decide? Yeah. Maybe don't just request the big boobs. No, let's just see what the artist would come out with. And also let's put it in a place where you can't sit when you're having sex. So let's put it on his bar or like his back. Yeah, I'm just thinking of all the positions where she was going to see this.

It's okay, I feel like that. No, I think that back's a good one, but I think you see much fun. I think just out of a place where you have to stare at it. I also really want to know if the mermaid's got like shells on if she's got full nips out because I think that makes a difference. Because she said naked man, so I'm thinking she's got like nips. Like it's like just full boob. You can look at it in the way that like he is just appreciating the female body

and would like to have it on him permanently, which is like, you know, I guess flattering in some ways. But also, where have you been that you want to? Because he's getting all these tattoos in places that he's been. Is he just thinking? I'm like, where have you been? What location represents double D mermaid?

Yeah. Hmm. I would question him more on that side of things. Like, where's the inspiration? Like, what's happened with why you want to get this? Also, it's a bit fucking cliche. Like, it's a bit of a lame tattoo. Like, can't we do something a bit more original?

Yeah. I feel like it's a lot of people get that. I think what she said as well is like, it's how it made me feel as a woman. And I think that's a very valid thing. If you think it's like disrespectful to women and you feel strongly about that, I think he should listen to that opinion. And like surely a tattoo is not really worth.

Like, you would think a big, you know, upsetting you in your relationship. You can just choose something else. You would hope. But it again goes back to like, if it was the shoes on the other foot, you'd be like fat, fat I'm doing what I want in my body. Yeah. I would try and understand why he wants this specific tattoo. That's what's bothering me the most.

Like, why have we just come out of nowhere? I want a mermaid with double-deed boobs. Like, wow. It kind of sounded a bit like you were summer. Yeah, it's because I've been watching this country so much. And all I can think about is Curtin-Marclo. Every phrase I say, I'm like imagining saying it in Curtin-Mutley's accent. Also, the meaning behind a mermaid is quite dark.

Like, they're quite like manipulative, like, creatures. Yeah. So I think that maybe you should educate him a bit more on that. And at the end of the day, if you're, you've been together for three years, If it really means a lot to you, you have a right to back, I really don't like that. It's going to be on your body forever. Please reconsider.

I do think you have the right to ask that. If he wants to put his foot down, that's up to him and go from there. But I think it would be a weird thing for him to like really put his like... Really want, like, rationally. Yeah. I agree, actually, that you're so right. Like, it's a weird thing to really, like, fall out with someone over and push out. Yeah, like, no, I'm going to break up because I'm desperate for this double D mermaid to be on my body.

Also, can we just get it really small? Because if it's like a really little thing... A little stick figure. That's okay. Yeah, I'm like, we could deal with that. Maybe some cute fish around her. I don't know. Also, like, when you have kids, like, your, like, three-year-old daughter's going to be like,

go, daddy, what? That isn't a great look when your kids are asking. Okay, well, you've heard of here. I would just put your foot down and see what the reaction is. Right. We ready for the next dilemma? Dilemma 3. Hi, Georgia and Melissa.

I love your advice on the dilemma. I've been sitting on for a while now. I think I need to break up with a friend. but I'm really torn on how to go about it. We met back in 2017 while working in the same office, and she and another girl quickly became two of my closest friends. Over the years, we've done everything together, holidays, gigs, and we've been there for each other through some huge highs and some real those.

The other friend is still one of my best friends in the world, but this friend in particular, something has shifted. Something I've always struggled with is her negativity. When I started at my job, my boss warned me about her attitude and told me not to let it affect how I saw the workplace. That's a lot for your boss to say to you. That's also inappropriate. An HR issue earlier, I've asked me.

At first, I found it manageable, but over the past couple of years, I found myself slowly pulling away from her. Every message from her is a complaint, and when I try to share something I'm going through, she more or less ignores it and launches into venting about her day. I feel like I've outgrown this kind of dynamic.

It's draining and doesn't feel mutual anymore. What do I do? Would really love your thoughts on this? Love anonymous. I think that's really fair I think if with friendships it's like give and take and if someone's just taking

and in your energy I think you need to it's absolutely fair to distance yourself 100% you can't be in a friendship just for the like the sake of the other person Yeah Like imagine dating like

It's the same in a relationship right? Yeah Like if something's not good for you You've got to remove yourself And the older you get The more as you say like You like put up with less of that sort of Yeah

Like your circles get smaller because your time gets more precious that older you get. Like you have more responsibilities. So then like I'm not wasting my time with someone that's draining the life out of me. I wonder, it's probably gone too far now. It sounds like you've got like French pick like you're done. Yeah. Which is fair. But I feel like when this started to happen,

you could have probably have been like, I do just really feel like whenever I'm telling you something quite serious about my life that you're not listening fully. Sometimes as well that people just are who, I feel like sometimes people are who they are. And, like, even if you said that, that wouldn't change. It wouldn't change. Quite sad that some people just, like, have, like, a sort of draining cloud over them all the time through life.

That is just sad for her. But also, you can't make her problem your problem. No. I feel like we all know people like that. 100%. And sometimes it's... For your own sanity, you've got to cut people like that out. And I think it's so fine.

I would just distance more and more and more, reply less. You don't have to have a formal conversation about it. I think that's, like, almost too much. but just fizzle it out. Pull away from her, don't see her outside the office. She'll get the message and like it sounds like she's so in her own head about her own stuff. I was going to notice anyway. She sounds quite self-absorbed so she might not even notice and slash will just be a...

I have friends, had friends like this and did the same sort of thing. And I don't even think they noticed and if they did it was just very much like, I think they were just like angry like, well, fuck them for not talking to me. so I'm not talking to them. And it's just kind of fizzled. Perfect, that works. Yeah. I feel like she might try and claw her way back in. You just have to pretend like nothing's wrong.

You're really busy. And I just shove her in the archived. Savage. I've had to do that. You just have to shove people in the archive because it's like, stop trying. So you don't think she should even have a conversation at all about it. No, I don't think there's a need. Nothing's happened.

No, she hasn't been a dick. You're just like, you can't literally sit down a friend and be like, you're not my vibe. Yeah, you're not going to be, I think that's what actually mean. I don't like. Like, I just don't like your vibe. I remember Emily Blackwell saying that to Sophie.

And that clip resurfaces on my TikTok all the time. This is on me in Chelsea days. This is going back. She's like, I just don't like your vibe. And I'll say, fuck, it's so mean. So mean. But yeah, you don't need to do that.

I think it's unnecessary. And you can just pull it off more and more. Sometimes, like, it's kinder to like not be 100% century. Yeah. I think that what is it? Like you can just, white lives have a place.

Yeah. We've all had to do it and you'll probably have to do it with more friends as you go through life. If she does confront you in real life, that's really quite scary. Personally, I know what I would do, which I don't think is the right thing to do. Oh no. Love you so much. What?

Oh my gosh. I've been so busy. I just, that is literally not what's been happening. I just be so busy. I didn't look at my messages. I'm terrible on my phone. Terrible. Looking at Instagram every second.

I can't apply to what's out, honestly. Oh, God. That's not what you should do. That is not what you should do, but also, I think I do the same. Like, it's really shocking when you're confronted with things in real life. I know. It's quite scary. I think you should just be like, look, to be honest, I really struggle with the negativity.

Like, at the moment, I feel like I've got a lot of things going on. And I didn't feel like I was strong enough to, like, be your friend in that moment. Because maybe you were having, like, a downpatch as well. but I didn't feel like I was, you can then be like, I just don't feel like I was being heard. I think, yeah, I think if you get confronted, definitely be honest, though, I was joking. But I definitely be like, sorry, I just find it's, but you're quite negative quite a lot. I can't get my own problems across. We're growing apart. The growing apart thing is a great term. People use that a lot.

We just grew apart. Yeah. And then the other person's like, what, did we? Yeah, did you not see it? Did you feel it? I think that's what you do. Okay, love you. Good luck.

Please tell us what happens. I'd quite like to know with this. I really love a friendship dilemma. Yeah, me too. Okay, love you. Good luck. Good luck. Okay, guys, that's the end of the episode.
