Never buy faux suede lampshades in a fawny-camel colour. They may look nice unlit, but turn a completely dreadful retro-orange when the bulb shines.

Oh, I dunno... It's amusing when someone in the room has a fake suntan and we're all pretending not to notice that they look like a mandarin orange.

You and your friends are obvs far more polite than the social circle I move in!

[myrddrr]

Do you socialise with anyone who fakes tans?

[nicnac]

Not so much, but imagine, if you will, M turning up last Saturday evening having looked like she'd been tangoed. Can you really imagine us as a group staying quiet and pretending not to notice??
