The Brazil Butt Lift is the fastest growing cosmetic surgery in the world, despite the mounting number of deaths resulting from the procedure
Do you think that this might be the year
When you let surgeons sort out your rear?
Some experts advise
That it may not be wise
They think the whole thing’s a bum steer
Behold: the 1975 De Tomaso Pantera GTS Prototipo – the archetypal hybrid of American muscle car and Italian mid-engined sportscar.
This particular GTS – commissioned by Greek industrialist Tony Mantas, a personal friend of Alejandro de Tomaso – was kitted out with a raft of custom extras starting with a white leather dashboard, no rear bumper and a lowered chassis and continuing with further modifications over the years, recorded in de Tomaso’s own handwriting and included with the sale.
Currently up for auction in Paris, accepting bids between €180,000 and €220,000.
Further to the introduction by AIB and Bank of Ireland of a new charge, ‘negative interest’, on all monies including home mortgage loans held in solicitor client accounts….
“The banks have wrongly included solicitor client accounts in their general application of negative interest rates, which they maintain apply to savings accounts. Solicitor client accounts are not savings accounts; they are a necessary part of commercial and conveyancing transactions.
“Put simply, when a person is paying out their borrowed money to complete the property purchase they will have less money than when they received the loan. A similar situation will exist for those who are selling and paying off a mortgage. As a direct result of this charge, they will need to have additional money to make up the difference.”
President of the Law Society of Ireland, James Cahill
Meanwhile…
These new Bank charges are not charges on Solicitors but on the monies we have to hold by Law in the main Banks. These charges are often on monies already borrowed to buy a house or a business transaction. These charges are on the monies of ordinary individuals not Solicitors https://t.co/Erpy9Y3I2Z
Bruce Springsteen issued a call for common ground, unity and political centrism in a 2-minute long ad for Jeep during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The ad, featuring wide-shot vistas of the American countryside, open roads and slow-motion shots of “The Boss,” centers on a tiny chapel in Lebanon, Kansas, that purportedly sits in the geographical center of the continental United States.
“All are more than welcome to come meet here in the middle,” the “Thunder Road” singer says in a voiceover. “It’s no secret the middle has been a hard place to get to lately, between red and blue, between servant and citizen, between our freedom and our fear.”
In a generally weak year for Super Bowl commercials, Jeep’s stood out for being particularly obnoxious and tone-deaf. Called “The Middle,” left-wing political activist and world-famous singer Bruce Springsteen narrated and starred in the ad about how the country has been divided, but now it has a bright future as the “ReUnited States of America.”
The ad featured Springsteen, who is extremely well known for being from New Jersey, wearing a cowboy hat and boots, small earrings in each ear…. The overall effect was one of cosplay rather than authenticity.
A Jeep with no top on in the middle of what seemed to be a particularly frigid time in Kansas drove down a dismal road. No Jeep owner would do such a thing. In general, the images were frosty, cold, and dark.
