Quote of the day from that program about tattoos last night on C4.
It's got everything, a dream with a specific goal, the means to do it but most of all it's on a scale that's achievable by a middle aged unemployed bloke in a provincial town.

His wife admitted that two years ago before the tattoo obsession he was the most boring man in Swindon so it's got him out of his shell, if nothing else.
unemployed
Really?
I saw that!
He wasn't going to win a fundamental physics prize, but it felt great when he got a job in the end.
The other was that large, shaven headed, tattoo covered bodybuilder who kept crying whenever he spoke about his dead dog. It had obviously affected him so much, I genuinely felt sorry for his loss!
Is he still the most boring man in Swindon though?
[i] felt great when he got a job in the end[/i]
I only watched the first half, glad he got something - what was it?
The dog bloke, my wife said;
"He'll cry about his dog but probably knock you off your bike without a second thought if you get in his way when he's driving."
I was slightly more charitable...
And the reason I choose not to watch the program last night.
It was bad enough seeing Wiggo sporting a tat on his skinny ass, noddle arms this week.
King of mod cool ??
Tat ****t more like.
I always thought it's wise to have your face tattoo'd if you want to claim benefits forever.
Benefits Advisor: Well how did the job interview go?
Tattoo'd person: I think it went very well, I didn't get the job though, not sure why.
Benefits Advisor: oh well try again next week.
What an awful program that was. One of those C4 exercises in trolling.
There were however highs and lows. The low was that tattoo artist dropping the "do you feel like a real woman again" clanger on that poor lady. She should have just lamped him.
High. The Eminem fan saying, "his lyrics are on a higher level" inter cut with scenes of him singing, "you make my pee pee go. Da-doing doing doing" to a pub full of OAPs on karaoke night.
sometimes you have to let go of one dream to catch another 😐Is he still the most boring man in Swindon though?

Some people can get away with Tattoos, he isn't one of them

Piercings. He looked chuffed to bits bless him.
That eminem/batman lad was the strangest of the lot. Qualified as "most likely to murder someone" in my ratings.
Body piercer in the tattoo parlour
Genius. If he can makes enough people unemployable his own chances improve.

Eminen bloke had the quote of the evening, when he said a bit mournfully
"I'm left handed. So when I cross my arms it actually says Shady Slim" 😆
They picked some right mentals (©Asda) on that programme. The Batman obsessed lad... dear oh dear.

He got away with a few gold medals and a tour win though. That's got to be a better example to today's yoot than wanting to be the most tattooed man in a grim provincial town.
is it on catch up? sounds fun
<edit> mind you, is it like dogging tales, 50 depressing mins of pretty messed up people interspersed with about 5mins of funny bits?
awful, awful programme.

Really? I thought they were really interesting individuals with great personal style and an easy going outlook on life 🙄

I have to say there's a lot of low brow programmes on TV like this these days. No real purpose other than give the viewers a chance to mock those who are featured in it.
Its just the modern version of the freak show. No answers or help, it just "is".
I think its sad.
There was some thing last night on C5 "Fat for Cash". If that's not indicative of an underlying psychological issue, I don't know what is.
Bah! I thought this was gonna be a philconsequence thread.. Is disappoint
