/I/ don't know how to add a filter or change the background.
Everyone seems to be assuming it is common knowledge.
I'd love to do it, especially for the committee meetings I have to do

I use teams (not zoom) but to change the background you have to download the app, it doesn't work if you just open it in browser

The cat really made me laugh smile he looks so sad too!

It seems to be all over the news today!

I've seen a couple of lockdown howlers this week too. One was a woman who wanted to dye her hair bright ruby red and rather than risk splashing the dye around her bathroom, she got her son to drive her, dressed in bin bags as protection, to the local car wash wash! It looked like an abattoir with red dye all over the place!

The other was a young woman in America who, because of being unable to get to the shops to get strong hold hair spray, used Gorilla Glue spray instead shock She ended up in hospital where they tried to remove it with solvents but that burnt her head. A month later and she's still trying to dig it out of her head! She's hoping to sue the manufacturer because it doesn't actually say that it shouldn't be used as hair spray. <<shakes own head in disbelief>>

Goodness me, you really couldn’t make it up....??????

So funny! Thanks for a giggle today.
I often wonder why manufacturers put what seem to be unnecessary warnings e.g. ‘may contain nuts’ on a pack of walnuts.

I am crying with laughter. Thank you for this.

Reminds me of the stupid people (yes, heaps of them!) who put superglue in their eyes ^thinking it's eyedrops.

Many google stories if you're interested, it's quite common.

Duh shock

Glue girl would be pretty without the ridiculous lashes and silly hair. Still, the glue will flake off in time - probably taking the hair with it! Some people have to learn the hard way.

Summerlove I know! It's so nice to find something so silly!
... but why does the judge say "I can see you are not a cat" when he clearly looks like one?

No, MissAdventure - sounds amusing ?

Summerlove Wed 10-Feb-21 00:57:49

I can’t stop giggling over this

MissAdventure Wed 10-Feb-21 00:14:16

Did anyone ever watch bizarre E.R and the man who got a party hat stuck to his head? grin

NotSpaghetti Wed 10-Feb-21 00:11:01

Oh my goodness! Just googled the gorilla glue girl!!
