I was sure there was a limerick coming.

I don't even know how to reply to this. What kind of planet are you all living on over there?

Having seen The Thomas Crown I will not allow this blasphemy.

Oh, I forgot to tell everyone I did it today!

Unfortunately, I still look like me though.

Lol! Double entendres are part of the James Bond repertoire, so we can let it pass....

Hi

All establishments who do piercings here in the UK have to be licensed and adhere to strict standards.

Unfortunately, there are some who are not and we have infections which have to traced down.

To put it in terms , it is the Trailer Park Syndrome.

Although there is a good choice of prettier earings for pierced ears, I have never had the guts to have mine done. Too late now.

When my hairdresser comes here, she always takes Nellie (my dog) onto her knee for a cuddle, and Nellie is fascinated by the sparkles and dangly earings, and always tries to nibble them off!

Re: To Pierce, or Not to Pierce: That is the Question

I had mine done at a jewellers when I was 19 but rarely wore earrings as my ears went red and swelled up! Even when l wore gold earrings!

When my son was about 15, he pierced one of his ears, himself! I went mad, as he looked a right, rough neck and he could’ve got blood poisoning!

We were due to have a family photo done at a studio and one each of the children on their own.
When it was my son’s turn to have his photo taken, he flatly refused to take the earring out.
I had to drag him outside and plead with him. He eventually took it out!!
With hindsight, l wonder if l was a bit harsh to make him take it out?!!

Thanks Loretta,a long history indeed including religious beliefs.

Re: To Pierce, or Not to Pierce: That is the Question

You are welcome May. The only thing I knew about earrings was that sailors, or pirates wore them in order that they always had some gold if they ran out of money.
