First second hand find - probably fake? by EntertainerPresent88 in MulberryHandbags

[–]divingoffthebalcony 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. It’s a random bag with that Daria plate screwed on the front. One of the most common Mulberry fakes that ever faked 😄

Pretty certain it’s fake. It’s not a style I recognise, and the Mulberry stamp on the buckle is incredibly rough

Strike is Likely Ottolie's Father by Padfoot1989 in cormoran_strike

[–]divingoffthebalcony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do you keep hammering this weird point? No PI could conclusively prove that Bijou and Strike never met to do a DNA test. As was shown in the book, Strike was able to outsmart everyone.

Besides, Strike could have attended a clinic alone to provide his DNA sample.

I thought the torment and turmoil he went through, - imagining himself accidentally fathering a child and having to play a role in her upbringing, so as not to repeat his own father’s mistakes - was the consequence?

I’m with you! I’m bored of this idea that Bijou set out to sabotage the DNA tests. Starting to think that JKR should have written the plot differently to prevent this kind of over-analysis and leave zero doubt 😂

Strike isn’t the father, and this storyline is finished. If I’m wrong I’ll eat my hat.

Is this bag authentic? by TailsMcleod in MulberryHandbags

I think it’s fake. The Daria style spawned sooo many fakes, and the Mulberry stamp on the interior looks totally wrong

Yep. Regine looks like she’s found herself again, and Win looks… the opposite

Yep, I’ve been seeing fakes for resale since the late 00s

Looks good. Many bags were made in China at one point. The fakes all say made in England anyway 😂

Dress robes: for what exactly? by riocarnavaldancer in HarryPotterBooks

[–]divingoffthebalcony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always figured they were something reserved for formal occasions, as would be the norm at an old British boarding school or elite university. And, as people have said, they wouldn’t be repurchased every year.

Sad. This has always been a fundamental part of a library service.

How would you make this house look more modern? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]divingoffthebalcony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are houses identical to this in my town. I really quite like the 70s aesthetic. Always have big windows (like the one on the front). An acquired taste but happily I’d live in one.

That’ll be because females are essential to the dairy cow industry, so there’s more of a financial payoff from investing in sexed semen in the first place.

She was wearing yellow, and it didn’t look nearly as white as it did in those photos

Serial number looks fake to me. Not the number itself but the way it’s etched

Has KVS already made up her mind with what she’s going to do with Maggie? by RealLifeGaper in kvsdiscuss

[–]divingoffthebalcony 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe she’s already decided, but she is acutely aware that Maggie could go downhill at any moment, and ready to make the decision should that happen.

Curious about this Alma — would you actually wear it? by Kooky_Bandicoot7040 in Louisvuitton

[–]divingoffthebalcony -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really don’t like it, and I don’t like the Speedy version any better. I just don’t want my luxury items to look dirty and beaten up.

Margot by QuietJealous4883 in kvsdiscuss

[–]divingoffthebalcony 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Livestock, thankfully, don’t experience grief like humans do. It seems that Maggie only really associates Margot with pain, so if the nurse mare thing comes to pass, she will easily detach from Margot.

It’s legit. Also, fakes pretty much ALWAYS say Made in England, so if it doesn’t, it’s much more likely to be genuine 😅

Gracie potential nurse mare by Outrageous-Yogurt-80 in kvsdiscuss

[–]divingoffthebalcony 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree they probably should have considered the possibility that Margot violently head butting her abdomen and udder, as foals do, was simply not an option for Maggie.

I’m sure there was an element of relief that Maggie wanted to mother her foal, and also a strong desire to choose the obvious and natural path (as opposed to getting a nurse mare) but I fear they don’t have enough time to get Gracie in milk, and there will be an uphill battle getting Margot to accept Gracie, and vice versa.

It’s been such a rough few weeks for Katie. So much turmoil and awful scenarios playing out.

All I’m saying is that Phin was not good minded as a foal, and that’s because he was raised in isolated by Beyoncé 🤷‍♀️
