A diagnosis, possibly, of Kim Jong-Un.

I saw 2 photos (one taken in 2012 and the other 2015) in the paper today of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The reporter wondered why his eyebrows had been severely shortened.

Well my diagnosis is that he has an under-active thyroid. Firstly he has put on even more weight and secondly one of the symptoms of an under active thyroid is the loss of eyebrow hair.

My DH once asked me why I plucked my eyebrows so much, which at that stage I had never done. Anyway the Doc confirmed that this happens to many people with that illness.

Of course I could be entirely wrong. Whatever I wouldn't want to meet him as I suspect he is a control freak.

And there was me thinking he was just a fat, over-indulged brat shock

Yes I have got my tin hat on Alie and River you will find me in the Anderson Shelter perfecting my North Korean accent.

I wonder if old Kim would like some diet advice?

Oh NanKate, a cyber attack might be the least of our problems if we continue to diss the dictator grin

I already have shortened eyebrows because of hypothyroidism. Perhaps someone should give the lad an eyebrow pencil and some make-up lessons. (ducks for cover)

We could tempt him with doughnuts then exile him to Siberia.
