I put 20th century because we are moving backbards no forwards, i also blame milliband and all the others, it keeps costing more but the service is just as bad as 25 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

@Tidemark I've seen reports claiming she was running form sexual abuse when Ghislaine enticed her to Epstein so was that at home or chez Trump at Mar-a-Lago? Lots of questions to be answered by a lot of people and yes, as @pete says, what happened to her pay off from the royals?

 

From what I've seen, she was intending the money to be put into a charity or trust for exploited children. But her life seems to have been quite chaotic and there is some confusion about whether that actually occurred. Her husband of 20 years sounds as if he was quite keen to get his hands on it before her death, as do her biological relatives. No doubt it will all end the coffers of legal firms, working to bring clarity and light to the situation.

 

A normal girl then from a normal life as a previous poster said.

 

I thought she had the pay off some years ago.
Andy paid her off right or wrong, but then instead of just shutting up and disappearing she seems she couldn't leave it alone.

 

I suppose we all have our own ideas about what “normal” means.

Growing up, I was a very innocent creature. Over the years, from age 4 to 18 say, I was told about what transpired to be incestuous relationships between my schoolfriends and their male relatives. I can now remember what was “normal” for the little blonde girl in my primary school who was singled out to take the headmaster’s morning coffee to him every day and to have to sit on his lap while he drank it but what just seemed odd to the rest of us. The friends of mine who were sexually abused by their male family members amount to eight that I know of, that they told me about. Another one in my high school told the teacher in a letter which she let us all read first. Nothing changed to make her life more “normal” apparently.

No, normal is what you make it.

 

Poppies are just a symbol of support that can be worn anytime, or at least that's what I believed. They are normally only worn nearing memorial day but I know a few people locally that wear them daily.
The one thing I don't like is that the bbc seemed to force everyone to wear one a number of years ago and it has become the status quo. There was a time when you had free choice but that went out the window. It is strange that people are seemingly not allowed to wear any other symbols of support on the channel, or at least I've not seen any (admittedly I'm not an avid tv watcher).

 

Just watched "Miss whiplash" after her horse just stopped in the middle of the road and wouldn't move 3 minutes of jumping up and down, kicking her heals into the horse's stomach and high number's of whipping and horse didn't move then it did, may be it heard the sound of runing water and stopped for a drink

 

I only tried riding a horse once. Neither of us enjoyed the experience.

 

She sounds dreadful @Jiffy A good rider never needs to whip a horse, just squeeze the sides with their calves or give a slight flick with the leg on which they want the horse to go to canter. The crop is there as a light reminder, never a punishment.

It seems incest and child abuse are a well known and common phenomenon but I've never met anyone admitting to be involved @Tidemark either as victim or perpetrator. Not a behaviour i understand either, nor cruelty to animals.

 

Good new, the horse wouldn't go any further down the road, they turned around and the horse started to walk back the way it came from

 

We get the electric outage over here out in the country too often over the 38 years of living here. So about 10 years ago, I said that was it, we put in a whole house generator, its connected to the gas lines, so when the electric goes out, in 4 short seconds the generator turns itself on and the whole house is up and running again. We positioned the generator out behind two of the garages and built an overhead roof thing just incase of the tree branches decide to drop on it. Its so nice to have.

 

We have thought about do the same, but placing it some where where it wouldn't get nicked is hard, a house not far away was just run by a generator ( no mains at all) and they've had their kicked many a times
