Botched Plastic Surgery Made Business Fail!
According to this story on the BBC, botched plastic surgery made a woman’s business fail! She even got £6 million damages for it.
Lucky her!
I can’t help feeling that she was more than a little lucky here, as it is in my view not the most sensible of things to have vanity plastic surgery. Why would anybody chose to go through pain for no proper reason? On the other hand read any tabloid and there are loads of stories where people have suffered pain in the name of pleasure!
I have pain from my stroke and to inflict it for a vanity reason just seems so bizarre.
As the courts have said that the plastic surgeon made a mistake, which he admitted, it seems that there were a both parties weren’t as sensible and thoughtful as they might have been! In all things to do with doctors, you should choose them with care!
One of the reasons, I would never have vanity plastic surgery is that there are so many court cases when it goes wrong. There has even been more than a few deaths, although thankfully most of the latter have been abroad or caused by plastic surgery performed in less-than-safe surroundings or countries.
So yet again, it is rich seam for the lawyers, to trouser a decent wage.
One of C’s legal colleagues once asked me if C had had her bust enhanced, as he thought it looked different. He was very surprised when I said it was exercise and a bra that fitted well. She never let him forget it!
GP Prescribes Jesus
If my GP did that to me, I’d report it immediately and move elsewhere as soon as possible.
But according to The Sunday Times today, a GP, Richard Scott, has been suspended for doing just that.
Radio 4 Names Footballer Involved in Superinjunction
Perhaps it was an accident, but it just shows how when everybody knows, it is difficult to keep a secret. There’s more here.
The sooner this farce is ended the better!
The only people who will be upset when it ends will be the lawyers.
The Hornets React
I said in this post, that the hornets would react and they have according to this piece on the BBC.
Hundreds of Twitter users have reacted to a footballer’s bid to find out who is putting information about him on the website by posting new messages online.
I’ve just looked and the BBC is right and they’re even easier to find, even if you don’t know the name of the footballer.
I think that this story has run its course, so if Imogen would like a nice meal one evening next week, all she has to do is post a message here and I’ll see what I can do. As the lady is Welsh some nice Welsh lamb in marmalade might be a suggestion. It would be more appropriate if we can find some Welsh marmalade.
But on second thoughts, why would she want supper with me, a broken down widower?
Caitlin Moran on Slutwalk
I’m not sure about SlutWalk, but Caitlin Moran in The Times today has a thoughtful piece that should be read by everyone.
She says that it is movement that has captured the anger in young women across the world.
I would agree, but it’s not just young women that are angry. Look at the protests in Spain by young men and women about the lack of jobs and as Caitlin points out, the protests across the Arab world and especially Tunisia.
And pensioners and others are angry at how their savings have been ruined by the bankers!
We will see more protests in the current months, unless governments take radical decisions to improve the lot of everyone.
To return to SlutWalk, I’ve always felt that anybody is entitled to wear what they want and not what someone tells them to. As an example I’m not struck on facial piercings, as they give me the creeps, but if someone wants them, then that is their affair!
Obviously what people wear should not be illegal or offensive.
So a T-shirt praising nuclear power or the building of waste incinerators would be acceptable, but one praising the works of Adolf Hitler would not be.
The Palm Dog
Most cinema enthusiasts have heard about the Palme d’Or awarded at the Cannes Film Festival for the best film.
I hadn’t realised until today, that there was also a Palm Dog, awarded to the best performance by a canine. The award this year was won by Uggy, a Jack Russell, in a film called The Artist.
Strauss-Kahn is a Disgrace
The Times today carries an article under the title of Love bomb that failed to go off, which describes in detail how he pursued a French reporter working in London. I’m not quoting from the article, as it is copyright and although it is in a respectable newspaper, it might not be 100% true. I’m no lawyer, but I would feel that Strauss Kahn did enough to fall foul of The Harassment Act.
If I or any other person, behaved like the article alleges, I would certainly have had the police at my door.
If he is that desperate for women, then he can always phone up and get one delivered on a plate wrapped to whatever taste he prefers.
Type “Strauss Kahn escort” into Google and you find this.
On a positive side perhaps Strauss Kahn and Fred Goodwin should form themselves a bank called the Wunch Bank. They deserve each other.
Princess Beatrice and Her Charities Have the Last Laugh
The price of her hat has now passed £75,000 according to the BBC.
Noone could call that anything but a good result for the charities she is supporting.
If you want to bid, the hat is still on sale here on eBay.
The End of the World Is Nigh!
I thought it was some time since the usual American Christian nutter said this, but the latest one has just been announced.
The guy behind it all has the name of Harold Camping. So does that mean he’s a bit like John Inman ‘s character in Are You Being Served?
I suspect it’s just another plot by a religious nutter to relieve the stupid of their money.
Wikipedia says this on its entry for Harold Camping.
He has used Bible-based numerology to predict dates for the end of the world. His current end times prediction is that the Rapture will be on May 21, 2011 and that God will completely destroy the Earth and the universe five months later on October 21. He had previously predicted that the Rapture would occur in September 1994.
So he got it wrong once! Well we might think that, but how much money did he make the first time? Perhaps he made a lot, so it is now time to fleece another few thousand victims with this outrageous fraud.
