Default I\'m suspicious.

I think my other half is trying to prevent me from spending my desired amount of time at the boat.

She bought me a circular 500 peice double sided jigsaw for my birthday...I think she wants me in the house.

Be sure and do it on a glass topped table.

Be carefull on glass-topped tables. I knew a model who had to give up her career after falling through a glass-topped table and getting a scar on her bum. She did get over £4000 compensation. This was post -accident. I must admit I tried hard to hide the scar (its on the right cheek, low down.)

Sorry I've been studying that picture for over 15 minutes now and I still can't see any scar.
Good photography or low resolution?

Default Scar

I've found a pic which shows it better. It looks like an easy way to earn £4000 , but was quite traumatic at the time. She was doing a shoot for a "well-known" magazine group and sat unwisely on a glass topped table during a rest. That was OK until the photographer but his camera on the table a bit sharply and the glass shattered, dumping her on top of the glass on the floor.
This is not for titilation, it is a Health and Safety illustration

Default Nails

Actually Julie, I knew this girl quite well and those nails are her own. I never really liked them and believe it or not she was a nail technician thingy when she wasn't doing the modelling thing. If you look at the middle finger on her left hand you can see the nail is twisted and distorted like they go if you try and grow them too long. I'm not saying she hasn't damaged one and put a falsey on to match the others.

OK I stand corrected, but do agree with you on the nails, they look more like talons or claws [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
