Perhaps a dose of jealousy on the part of those who are unable to do what grid girls, models, promotions girls et al. can do?

Nothing is worth anything more than what somebody else is willing to pay for it.

I have watched this movie - before I knew it was a thing.

None of your hours are wasted because, thankfully, you have the gift of free will.

I used to own a 760 GLE. I bought from a company that did exactly what you said. They didn’t sell them for lots of money though. I bought an immaculate looking and driving car. Drove it in the UK and then to Finland where I kept it for about 5 years. Great car. Some things didn’t work quite right but nothing ever…

And yet, so many angry words all serving to confirm the point I already made.

You do seem rather upset, don’t you. :)

The designer of the Volvo truck’s brakes and emergency stop systems were the heroes. :)

At the right time one simply gets a bollock lift. Simple surgery to remove excess skin and leave one with the scrotal development of a teenager - albeit with hair, grey hair.

How do you know that the members that bother you so much are useless?

Yeah, I posted and then read all of them.

You may not like the Plastic Pig but it was hardly a failure. Various versions were sold over several decades and they were a common sight on British roads.

Many years ago I used to sell home electronics. My thing was video and TV. If a punter rolled up and pointed out something from a ‘Which’ review (UK equivalent to Consumer Report) then I’d expect to be familiar with the review. That’s the job. Getting into arguments? Did you enjoy throwing money away?

I don’t think it is trivialising anything. 10k hours is a lot of time and a large commitment and, unless one is extremely fortunate, acquiring expertise in most areas of life takes a significant commitment to that success but since I came upon the idea a few years back it rather changed the way in which I look at what…

Sadly, I think nobody would see our interesting, yet sometimes controversial show. :)

Chances are that by following this strategy you will attain complete success at being alone.

I love my tablet and phones for reading but would I give up the library that lines the walls of my living rooms? Not for a moment. But, when I travel, when I am in bed, when I want to take my library with me then my e-reader is the way to go.

I rather think the particle misses the point. The number chosen might be arbitrary but I’d wager a lot of Imaginary Internet Money that there’s not much that I could not become expert at if I gave it 10,000 hours of practice. That it might take much less time to acquire expertise in some skills does not invalidate the…

Oh, things must be very different over there. Where I come from it is a joint problem and not the least because both genders can fall victim to sexual harassment.

Spot-on!
