  1. I get this often when I travel.  People tell me "what you paid for that was expensive", despite the fact it cost equivalent of a pound or two, and could cost four times more in the UK. Surely one of the great things about being able to afford to travel is to bring some economic benefit to the people who are hosting you?   £1 for a cup of tea is nothing and anyone who can afford to travel from Europe and grudges paying a local £1 for such should have their passport removed from them.

  2. So she can't make a decision to have n abortion at 12, but same could be argued she can't make a decision to have a child.  

    A 12 year old has been raped which is horrific enough, but then for people to battle in the courts that she cannot have abortion is abhorrent.  She will be physically and psychologically damaged enough by being raped without having to endure a pregnancy and childbirth of a child she has never consented to have.  How dare any man (or woman) try to stop her having a termination.  Always conservative christian men trying to tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, even if it damages them physically and psychologically.

    He is at London Fashion week -  Our favourite Ken Doll and Thunderbird lookalike. 

    Strike a pose: Ever the fashionista, Rodrigo opted for a white-and-olive colour palette, which complimented his bronzed complexion and coiffured blonde locks

    Fash pack: Displaying his slender physique - a result of recent fat-freezing liposuction - the modified man was set to enjoy a day of viewing the latest fashion trends

     

    He looks like a lesbian.

    For me there is something here about the doctors who do this to people.  The guys, and a lot of people like him are fucked up.  Surgeons who continue to indulge their  harmful ways are immoral and unethical, and they are breaking the hippocratic oath as they are inflicting harm on their patients.  He probably has a psychiatric illness which he is treating by making himself look less than human.   

  4. It is quite appalling but unfortunately all too common in the USA. My heart goes out to all involved and once again we find ourselves completely baffled by the complete lack of gun control in the USA. How many more before something is done?

    One wonders how the right wing will react to this. A potential muslim (or at least someone of Afghan origin) kills mostly gay people. It has everything that winds them up. Gun control, gays, muslim terrorists.

    For a candidate to polarise opinion to the point of violence is really worrying. Anyone pragmatic would pull out realising that their running is only further dividing their country. Unfortunately Donald Trump is not pragmatic and seems to believe he is the saviour of the USA.

    My friends in Washington call his supporters "low information voters", people who believe his soundbites and will not do any research for themselves to find out the truth.

    There has never been a more important time for the Democrats to come together and unite behind one candidate. Bernie, for all he was supposed to be a breath of fresh air, is acting now like a typical ego driven politician. He needs to get over himself, realise he needs to quit the race for the sake of the country and throw all his support behind Hilary.

    It does however make me laugh when people speak about Bernie's left wing politics. Left wing in the USA is not very left wing in Europe.

  6. For me the issue is that of risk to jobs and livelihoods. Is there a risk, I don't know, but the rich won't be impacted if the vote is to leave and it all goes tits up. They can just fly the nest and sit it out somewhere warm and nice.

    I agree with Kim around the fearmongering re immigration and terrorism.

    It is interesting that today the no camps are now at war over who has been nominated to run the official campaign.

  7. hate to say this but some Flipsees are sheep

    You will find this in any nation. People blindly follow a religion or belief without really understanding it, or wondering where it came from. They do it because they are told, or they are dumb or they are just too scared to accept that life will be over one day and there is nothing beyond it. I like to use Scientology in this sort of conversation. A religion where you can actually pinpoint the person who made it up, when and why he made it up, yet people have signed up to it and blindly follow its insane ramblings.

  8. Well its very tragic , and about a bitter actress past her prime and beauty

    I dont see M doing it , she "is" that character for the media in her real life, its too easy to get things confused

    I don't think the media see her as bitter. They may mock her age, but one can never deny that she looks good.

    I believe she could make the role her own, and not doing it because for the reasons you give I think is short sighted (if that is indeed the case). Imagine if all actors felt like this, think of the movies that would never have been made.
