A new - & to me, rather scary - fad is emerging, "tongue splitting".

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-41519892

Anyone here know someone who has had this done, or even has it themselves?

I'm not at all sure I like the idea of mutilating our bodies for aesthetic reasons, & wonder if they will come to regret it in later life?

Think I'll pass on it, to be honest, but for those that enjoy it, good luck to them.





Brings a whole new meaning to "speaking with a forked tongue", to be fair.

Must admit I have never been a fan of self mutilation or being covered in Ink.
Still if it makes people feel good about themselves, and I do not have to take part, then it is fine by me.

Really can't understand them thinking that tongue thing is something cool

Snakes have been doing it for years!

How low can you get?

I guess the guy needs money for drugs. Hard to see what else would drive someone to act so dreadfully.

Thieves tried to blow open an ATM with explosives at a Matalan store in Darlington yesterday.

paige55

Do not worry about it NoseyBonk if the plane is not full they move people so the Weight is the same through out the cabin been on afew flights when they do that, guess I was fatter than my husband

paige55

they tend to do it when there are three seats and your sat together they move you to seat one and three and leave seat two empty

paige55

only when the cabin is not full I should have said

paige55
