Fashion - 1950s > 1980s > now
Karma_ I love clothes and fashion and shoes and Vogue and all that gubbins But it's so easy to utilise something you already have in the wardrobe if you want to keep in trend. I do think some people go completely OTT with it but that's their choice I suppose. What's great now though is where more designers are now working with chains it makes their stuff even more accessible at a reasonable price, while still getting the quality. Debenhams are fab for that sort of thing. [ more ]
brisket I remember some years ago throwing away all my broad ties. Then they appeared all over again. Annoying. But it is as you say Karma.....things come back. [ more ]
Karma_ Reference: There's not much that is original nowadays - most of it is copied from the past. That's how it goes though, it always comes back again, just usually with a twist. Key colours are the same, that's why I'll never understand these net-a-porter women with more money than sense who throw everything out just to keep up with what Vogue say is on trend. Most accessories and shoes are timeless and can be used over and over cos guaranteed a style or colour will be in season again within 2... [ more ]

Alex Reid-the fight of my life.
kattymieoww An interesting fact about fighting was stated on QI the othjer night.There were no deaths in the boxing ring until gloves were used.When they used to fight bare knuckled they did not strike the face or the head because they would more than likely break their hands or fingers.The introduction of boxing gloves allowed multiple blows to the head,that's where the damage was done.

Liverpoollass Reference: Karma_ offline 9,391 Forum Posts Yesterday at 11:18 PM Last Edited: What??!! All credit to him, he lasted the full 5 rounds and he took a hammering but was still standing at the end of it. It was all but a given he was gonna be out by the 2nd round but he fought a bloody good fight and proved his place. I've seen quite a few MMA fights live (in the venues) but that was the most incredible one I've seen yet. Tom Watson is a fierce component and Reid shocked 90% of the viewers, both... [ more ]

Cariad Reference: I'm not interlekshual enuff and I only watch a pile of shite Well exactly. That was my concern wot wiv being so 'ighbrow as we is 'ere. Yeah - you have to be asked I'm told. About 5,000 homes across the UK are on the panel and the total UK viewing figures are taken from that panel which apparently cover a wide social range. So there was clearly an opening for middle aged, middle class single parent with delusions of intelligence and 2 stroppy teenagers. Apparently the little... [ more ]

Blackpudlian Reference: Loved them until I became veggie I even used to make shaped sandwiches with pastry cutters to make them more interesting That reminded me of the Midsommer Murders episode when the creepy, incestuous, blackmailing undertaker offers DI Barnaby & Sergeant Troy a platter of sandwiches when he had cut the butties into clubs, spades, diamonds & hearts and they were filled with fish paste and marmite and other tempting morsels. He was murdered but not by Barnaby & Troy. [ more ]

Altruism - is there such a thing?
Blizz'ard I eat any chocolate I find in the house, to save the kids from it. But I must admit, it feels good. [ more ]
brisket I also found this definition in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary describing how altruism can apply to animals:- "Animal Behavior . behavior by an animal that may be to its disadvantage but that benefits others of its kind, as a warning cry that reveals the location of the caller to a predator."

Karma_ Johnsons baby lotion seems to have changed in the last couple of years though. I have used it since I was about 11 and still use it as a cleanser/make-up remover every day, but have also noticed it is a lot more potent than it used to be and I can't understand why. [ more ]

Old School...
El Loro Some really old school music: Arthur Rubinstein playing Liszt' Liebestraum number 3: The original version of Kurt Weill's Mack the Knife (sound only). It is sung by Kurt Weill in 1928, hence the poor quality. It is of course in German. And even older. From 1927 Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer - the very first sound film. So not to give offence, this is not the infamous scene where he is blacked up, which may have been acceptable then but is totally unacceptable now. The quality is poor. [ more ]

Gangsters-Cowboys-Bitches-Dancers
brisket Thank you for the reminder and suggestions. I think I should re-jig the categories - for example, as Suzi-Q has suggested the leading lady kind of actress who doesn't fall into the 'strong womewn' category. I'll give it more thought. I appreciate all your posts. Thanks. [ more ]
Former Member Some good gunslingers from Sergio Leone - Henry Fonda in Once upon A Time . Not strictly cowboys though Gena Rowlands for the strong women category [ more ]
Suzi-Q How about a leading man? Of course, Cary Grant would win hands down, but could include Rock Hudson, Gregory Peck. Clark Gable. Then of course you would have leading ladies - Deborah Kerr, Julia Roberts, Sally Fields. And not forgetting the great character actors/actresses - Liz Smith. Judy Densch, Maggie Smith. [ more ]

EASTENDERS: WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!
The Devil In Diamante Reference arlo Oh yes Rachel Leskovac, she was fab in Holby City as the serial killer nurse Kelly Yorke Was that years ago? Did she have a Brother who worked there and she caused a gas explosion? I remember that as my Friend and I watched Holby City avidly following that storyline.... [ more ]
The Devil In Diamante Reference: Not in the same league as Dev mind. However the bloke who plays Nick is far and away the butt ugliest on the tellybox, and for that Corrie should be proud. Yes, he is ugly isn't he...as for Dev, how he's managed to steal a living is beyond me...... Reference: And did ya ner that the woman who works in the vets with Paddy (Marlon's GF) is Cain Dingle's wife in RL? But it's the old school actors who are the best. Ken Barlow, Deirdre turtle neck, Rita, Norris, Paaat Evans, Carol... [ more ]
Karma_ Reference: ut, by far the worst Actress on TV has to be Holly out of Emmerdale....every line she delivers is unconvincing and sounds wrong... Nick Tilsley is another one who has that kind of 'straining for a poo' expression. I think overall, Corrie have better actors than Eastenders, although Emmerdale have some good actors too. (I love Paddy and Aaron in particular). And did ya ner that the woman who works in the vets with Paddy (Marlon's GF) is Cain Dingle's wife in RL? But it's the old... [ more ]

Ms Lohan.
DING DONG! THE WITCH IS DEAD. I feel sorry for her I think she is an example of kids who go into show biz at a young age and are removed from school when they should be experiencing normal life. In short I blame the parents, I hope she gets the help she needs as she has a load of growing up to do. But that will be her choice. [ more ]

Paul O'Grady
Yellow Rose I enjoyed his C4 shows - and he had some great guests - but not really feeling it as yet with the night time one, different format is probably the difference. Have never been interested in Michael Ball, not my kind of music which is mainly what he's known for, well to me anyway. Have had the show on in the background in the afternoon while doing chores and waiting for my next show I watch. He seems to refer to himself quite a lot in an almost egotistic way. [ more ]
Cariad Mr Ball butches it up on telly so I'm told. And no - I'm not a fan of Mr O'Grady either. It's me I'm sure. He seems sweet enough and all but there's something there that makes me downright impatient with the man. It's not rational.... [ more ]
