Enough of this Soldiernitsin.


What I'm really concerned about is this. I've been having a good laugh over the last few months about this kind of thing appearing in fashion magazines, and on the shoulders of unwise famous people:

But the other day on the 48 I saw a perfectly normal girl wearing one, in a rather attractive shade of royal purple. Admittedly, she had a slightly defiant, sheepish look on her face, an expression that said Look, I've paid ?140 for it, I'm going to wear it. But it felt like a watershed moment.


Will we all be taking one another's eyes out with these shoulder mountains in a few months, and giving flat shoulders the cut direct? Or is this just another storm in a teacup, like the so-called trend for tights with spots on?

I'm not sure sheepish is the right word. But it is almost a mini-masterpiece in its way. Apart from the elephant's ears and trunks, the emergent part of the bodice seems to me to vary between a somonolent hippo and a meditating duck. And I first thought the superstructure around the bust was a reference to a turban-like hat. But now it seems more like a bra-like structure designed to hold the breasts and stop them from floating upward.

I've been avoiding this thread because I thought it was about ornithology or some such rot (the toenail clipping thread was bad enough). But I'm at home waiting for the UPS man and so the barrel must be scraped.


I've just bought a coat that is ever so slightly a bit pointy on the shoulders. It wouldn't take anyone's eye out or anything, but it's erring on the pointy side. I adore it but now I'm afraid that people might laugh at me openly on the bus. I don't have a "defiant look" in my repertoire. I love it. It's Westwood.

    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967  
    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Angelina and Alec1
