Some people take fashion and appearances to extremes @Nanny Beach. I used to know a Tex-Mex woman in Brussels who needed 3 hours to be ready to face the world and changed her hair colour according to the seasons.

This is more ridiculous,buy a wig in order to buy a top! In my teens when I did modeling I did have wigs. The one I got married in,first time,cost a months wages,it was hand knotted,you wouldn't have known. A decent wig now at least £2000. To have my hair dyed would be at least £70 a month. Keeping warm is far more important. Recently got rid of half our sky package. Last week arranged to change broadband supplier, because of the cost. Our fuel went up over £300 this year,thank God, I didn't change to a cheaper deal in the summer. Now,it's Gas,it's predicted another £300 for electricity alone in April,plus now everyone having to foot the take over off Bulb. Before anyone suggests,no am NOT buying an £8 box of colour and doing it myself. They rarely come out as shown on the box,and white hair is the most difficult to dye over. Have done this myself on a couple of occasions,last time,used a colour remover,did a patch etc test.Followed the instructions to the letter. It turned my hair into orange fuzz, emergency hair appointment, couldn't even get a comb through it, chemically burnt. My eyes were so bad I almost went to the ED,from the chemical fumes.actually ended up trying to get compensation from the manufacturer. The people who colour their hair unnatural colours, have it bleached for a base,then use a colour,they are meant to be permanent,but fashion colours fade very quickly. For some years I went to a lovely girl who also worked at a Toni and Guy academy. I had in your face bubble gum pink just round the tips,it faded in days.
Well,that's no good Pansy you could have made me one at "mates rates" !!I forgot to add, when my used the dye remover,my hair was so burnt,I had to have it cut off. Just being nosy, what colour and style is YOUR hair?
We want to control our borders, we are Sovereign. We must have the ability to control our borders and who comes and goes. (Stage direction - loads of fists banging on desk and drum thumping noises - with 'huzzahs' and 'hear hears' in the background).
...We can't control our borders. Please help us. We don't like the people coming in who we didn't invite - can you take them back? No?! That's a bit unfair. It's your responsibility to control our borders for us. (edited to add stage direction: Loads of Gallic sniggering - images of Monty Python and the French Kniggits patting their heads and saying '..I told zem we already 'ad one...')
Once in a while someone tells me that what I am wearing is very fashionable. Nothing is guaranteed to irritate me more. I only buy clothes when I really need them.
I don't "do" fashion either At the moment almost everything is black.a month ago,50 shades of beige. I wanted a light blue cardigan.saw one 3 huge chunky wooden brown buttons,ex large. I couldn't even find a knitting pattern.
Steve,I thought we gave France £54 mill,to sort this out.course others may well have drowned or died we aren't aware of.i am sure very soon something much worse will happen in that shipping lane.

Any genuine asylum seekers are supposed to make an asylum request at the border of the first 'safe' country they reach. If they fail to do that they automatically become illegal finincial immigrants. The whole of Europe seems to be more than happy to ignore that and let them continue on their way. Only now is there great wailing and gnashing of teeth in France following the recent drownings. If the authorities did their jobs properly, whereas in some cases it's claimed migrants were actively helped by police on the French coast, this incident may have been avoided. If film crews can be in place to watch people climbing into boats and waving as they leave, there was plenty of time to inform the authorities and have them stopped.
