    I don't think I've ever seen a thread that's deviated so far from the (my) original post



    Always a little further

    AoS is notorious for thread drift!

    But I think your original appeal for opinions on vinyl replay has been adequately answered.

    It's a look favoured by older American celebrities I think (yes I know she's Canadian). She apparently does have some ongoing health problems (muscle spasms).

    Was a bit harsh I know, but I'd rather have a few million in the bank and a face like a shoe (albeit a Manolo Blahnik) than be skint and pretty.

    I'm tempted to say I'd use some of the money to have some work done, but that doesn't usually end well.



    Why did she feel the need to mess with that? Why?

    What about the vets who do the work? They have to share some of the blame.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    What a tragic violation of nature, she was lovely.

    It reflects the degree to which we are all subject to criticism, and the growth of a feeling of inadequacy.

    One of my daughters periodically has work done. No reconstructive surgery. Just(!) botox or collagen or something, I don't like to ask. I don't know if the aim is to be prettier (failed), or if a certain look is the goal, that goal being a face like a satellite dish and a vacant expression. I suspect the latter, as I look at her friends, and they all look the same way.
