Edwina Currie

......she should have gone to Specksavers.....

Specsavers, I mean.

Ha ha Marelli!! Speckled egg-savers maybe

Would it have prevented her from the fowl deed?? Sorry!

It's all white, I enjoy a good yolk merlot !

Major must have been Eggstra special!

I think the yolk's on her.....!

Did they both get laid?

Ella!

- hardly Little Red Rooster is he (the Grey Man)?

I don't understand why there are so many women with low self esteem and yet Ms Currie has always thought she was sex on legs. Nany De watsername is another one. Edwina was my MP and we almost [literally] came to blows once. Awful woman.

I would have liked to have met her in a dark alley at the time of the 'salmonella fiasco'. She said there was 'salmonella in every egg'....and she spoke without fully checking her facts. Many egg producers would like to meet her in the same dark alley, I think....she lost of farmers their livelihoods as well as costing the country millions in compensation. DH worked for an egg producer, and he so nearly lost his job through her ill chosen words.

Oh dear, I thought she was being ironic - not meaning it literally!

As a chap of a certain age, I can testify to the erotic interest Ms Currie provoked in many of my acquaintance... as well...

This ties in with the invisibility thread - if you walk and talk as if you are sexually attractive people will tend to think you are.

People often describe themselves as attractive when they are quite ordinary. I wonder if it is the same as terrible singers believing they have a great voice.

Not quite the same, Faye! If you've got a certain confidence about your sexual appeal and attractiveness it can convince others - not so easy to persuade people that your tone-deaf warbling is actually tuneful!

People who state how good looking they are have no self esteem. I think people with confidence don't need to tell others how attractive they are.

Faye, I was not talking about literally telling people you are attractive, but just the way you hold yourself, walk into a room, etc. I have known plenty of women (and some men) who were not conventionally good-looking but attracted plenty of attention because they had a certain aura.

I've never liked good looking men, the ones with a twinkle and confidence and the ability to laugh you into bed are much nicer usually!
So they say!

Can't see that John Major had much twinkle!

I know Greatnan, I agree. I was, probably rather badly it seems, stating that those with confidence have enough self esteem to not to have to tell people they are attractive because they don't need to, it shines through. If you have to tell others you are attractive you most probably don't have self confidence.

The young women who recently complained in the media that other women were jealous of their good looks didn't seem to have low self esteem! Living in a fantasy more likely. But I don't think beauty is essential to being attractive, is it?

Some of the most sexually attractive women in the world have certainly not been conventionally beautiful - I am thinking especially of Sophia Loren. Virginia Mayo had a cast in her eye and Diana had quite a big nose.
I have never been attracted to men who looked like tailor's dummies - Brad Pitt does nothing for me. Eyes, voice and smile - I could live with baldness and irregular features. No bad teeth or straggly beards, though.
