Miscellaneous

1. I am very proud of British women after reading this exceptionally obnoxious article.
   
   American women have no qualms about telling their friends, in no uncertain terms, when they look like crap, or have put on weight, or are dressed like a bag-lady. They talk of the top aestheticians with a reverence usually reserved for Nobel laureates and trade cosmetic surgeon business cards the way that boys in playgrounds trade football cards. Um, that's supposed to be a good thing?
   
   It comes as no surprise that the author of the article is "a screenwriter (single) who divides his time between London and Los Angeles". Prat. It almost boggles the mind, but the comments are even more sexually and racially offensive than the article itself.
   
   
2. After several minutes of manically refreshing the page I have, for the first time, succeeded in purchasing some Posh Yarn. I got one skein (430 yards) of Lucia sock yarn (70% merino, 30% cashmere) in 'Delight' which is a delicious mix of sage green, denim blue, rose and cream. They update their shop each week at 6pm on a Sunday and are usually sold out completely within less than an hour.




3. The sink unit I wanted for the Old Shed is reduced by £80 so I have bought it. There is also a matching wall cabinet (sadly not on sale).

In regards to number 1 from an American woman: he obviously lives in only L.A., and has only met the shallow, petty, heartless bitches that live and work in California (which most of us fondy refer to as the granola state...full of fruits, nuts, and flakes) that would say that about their fellow ladies. You hit the nail on the head, what a prat.

1. Well I've failed as a mother because I certainly haven't instructed Little Tyke in the beauty treatments available. Of course I'd have to know what they are first. What a prat! And Bridget Jones overweight? She certainly wasn't! One of the things I thought was so funny in the book was that when she finally got to the weight she wanted, everyone kept asking her if she was ill because she looked so dreadful.

2. Congratulations!

3. Congratulations again.

I have no problem with American women, as none of the American women I know are anything like the one's he described. If I spent that much money on grooming etc., well -- I wouldn't be able to pay my mortgage, at the very least.

What a load of ...malarky. This kid is either way too young or way too sheltered if he believes what he is saying is the facts across the board for either country.
