It's a difficult issue....does she have the right to give away photographs of her own body, of her own consent?

BTW-
To paraphrase Ian Anderson:
"Where was Biggles when I needed him last Saturday?" :lol:
Been waiting some time to get that one out there. :)
I have the original vinyl, with St Cleves newspaper attached.
In this case Biggles had to take time off from saving the Empire from Johnny Foreigner last Saturday to taxi the kids hither and thither. :unsure:
I have the original vinyl, however with a late cover, sans the interleafing; the original cover was lost in an extremely unfortunate divorce/flooded cellar event. ;)
Salvaging the vinyl from the thoroughly soggy sleeving was conducted with vision obscured by an actual veil of tears.
One of the great sadnesses of my life. :(
I can sympathise - the treasures of ones youth have enormous sentimental value.Quote:

The circumstances sound painful too, a kind of aquatic version of rabbit boiling (close your ears Hobbes :blink: )
Painful like pins and needles; I was only able to recover about 250 albums out of about 3000; a friend who owned a record store and possessed of extraordinary ability helped me replace all of the missing sleeves, though many are 2nd or 3rd issue.Quote:

I wasn't about to complain in the face of such incredible grace. :)
The actual divorce, while troubling in all the common ways, was a blessing to me. ;)

Actually, shit derives from the Old English scite and the Middle Low German schite, which mean "dung." The word has been around since at least the 1300s.
Much like the vaunted acronym-origin of fuck, you can't believe everything that comes across your inbox.
:ninja:
Shit
Shit is a very old word, with an Old English root. *Scítan is the Old English word. It has cognates in most of the other Germanic languages and shares a common Germanic root with modern equivalents like the German scheissen.
*Scítan, however, doesn't appear in extant Old English texts and is only assumed to have existed in Old English. The verb to shit dates the Middle English period (c. 1308), and the noun form is from the 16th century. The interjection is of quite recent vintage, not found until the 1920s.
In 2002, an alleged acronymic origin for shit appeared on the Internet. According to this tale, the word is from an acronym for Ship High In Transit, referring to barges carrying manure. This is a complete fabrication and absurd on its face. All it takes to disprove it is to look up the word in any decent dictionary. Remember, anytime someone posits an acronymic word origin, chances are that it is utterly false.
I must admit to being fooled by the following one myself. I was kind of disappointed by the truth.
News
No, news is not an acronym for north, east, west, and south. In fact, there are no pre-20th century words that are derived as acronyms--acronyms are a distinctly 20th century phenomenon.
Rather, the word comes (quite obviously) from new--meaning something that has not existed before, something timely.
So where does the word etymology come from.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:
Back to you Hobbes!!!!
ahh yes the oringn of SHIT somthing which has haunted for centuries.

Get a room you 2!
I seem to remember my dear Hobbes, that exactly the same was suggested to us the first time we had a little 'discussion' lol.
Oh...what will people think? :ph34r:
Yes it was, I am both a rabbit and an elephant. Elephants never forget.
The origin of words, obviously. The first Hephalump was the honorable King Etymology.
