I mean, views of North Korea aside here, it's not really a glowing disincentive, is it... Actually, for the majority of their first decade they were confined to a single house, seldom fed and routinely beaten until they memorised the language and the teachings of il-Sung. I wouldn't say the end result was exactly worth it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,903 Posted December 19, 2017 23 minutes ago, Lord Fellatio Nelson said: I take it she isn't overly popular with you? I don't dislike her but there's no way she got the acting jobs she did based on talent and while she's attractive enough she's not stunning enough to get jobs based purely on looks. Mediocre, pretty actresses are ten a penny but not all of them have fathers who are TV and film directors. I like Red Dwarf but she's the worst actress by far in a series which isn't really noted for stellar acting performances so I do think daddy had a helping hand in her career. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
