Alice Bachini on plastic surgery and on getting shot by Mrs Du Toit

I strongly recommend this most enjoyable attack on plastic surgery by Alice Bachini. The attack is by Alice, not the surgery. That would be an even worse idea. It's not so much that I agree, although I think I probably do. It's how well written it is, and how amusing it is to read. I was going to copy and paste my favourite paragraph, but all of them as so good you'll just have to go there and read the lot.

I also think this posting is very funny. Here's all of it.

I really like reading Mrs Du Toit. It's a bit like taking a bracing run round the estate grounds at 6am, followed by a cold shower. In a good way, I mean. I think if I met Mrs Du Toit in real life, I would crumble into a corner and be all pathetic and English and unable to string two words together. If the word "marriage" was mentioned I would most likely run away and then get mistaken for a bunny rabbit and accidentally shot, and it would all be my fault. However, I really like reading Mrs Du Toit.

How to sum up my opinion? Well, put it this way: observe how I have categorised this posting.
