    The Lumiere brothers were but a twinkle in their mother’s eye during my childhood!

    Honestly mate I’m so old that when I was a child the Dead Sea was only unwell.

    Based on yesterday’s “1yr from now” pic you have nothing to worry about !

    Aww, thank you guys. I'm not fishing for compliments or anything, just sometimes I do look at my pics from my younger days and get envious of myself. Stupid I know. I'll get over it - it's the reason I stopped reading beauty magazines and OK/Hello magazines. :)

    From memory, wasn’t 3D TVs more an attempt at stopping piracy?

    I remember my brother getting one that came with the glasses, watched about 1 minute of Life of Pi, thought that’s cool and forgot about it ever being a thing until now.

    Remember Sky sports also tried to push it for the the football in pubs too? That lasted all of 5 minutes.

    Social media image is still tougher for girls than guys these days. Mrs TuT looks at the same stuff you do and these days <10% of photos that include her are allowed to be shared with friends & family. 100% of mine are. People know what I look like so i don't care if it's a good or bad photo of me but I appreciate it's very different for women. I also notice that when I do post a pic that includes Mrs TuT, all her tagged friends seem to feel obliged to "like it" as though giving support. Any selfies of my women friends on facebook are always met with comments of "Beautiful" etc from women friends. Feels very sad that women need this reassurance. I know you weren't fishing for compliments but if that pic was really you plus one year then you look stunning and shouldn't worry about getting the odd wrinkle. We all get older and so look older every year. We've always known that was the deal, and it's better than the alternative ! Ultimately is personality and the ability to smile and laugh that makes for an attractive person rather than a social media image.

    That's a beautiful reply. So much heart, thank you TuT, truly. Mrs. TuT is a very lucky woman to have you in her life. I do understand what you mean about the need for extra "assurance" that a girl/woman looks good in a pic - and perhaps for some women it's all about an insecurity about looks and constantly comparing themselves to Megan Fox or Gal Gadot. But everyone will judge themselves differently, depending on the situation of course, and there are right and wrong ways of approaching each situation, hence why people will react in these ways. I think overall, as you again said, the message needs to be known that as the saying goes, beauty is skin deep. A personality will always outshine what a person looks like on the outside, male or female.

    "Old wives tales" by Arnold Bennett written early 19th century touches on this subject with its content .

    I seem to like anything that makes me fat.
    Anyways my Mum used to make chocolate and coconut cookies they tasted exactly like Bounties but could be dipped in tea. They were soon good.

    Mrs Willis used to swim in Loch Ness when she was young (madness). She’s fond of saying the monster hasn’t been spotted since she left…

    My daughter has just gone to PGL (school residential) and wasn't allowed to take a phone or digital camera so we've bought her a disposable. The concept of winding it on and the fact that you take a **** photo - that's what you end up with have been drilled into her.

    Not a TC but I had to write a cheque yesterday for DVLA.

    You would have thought that given, everyone has a camera phone , then these sightings would be more common .
