Can you please look at how saggy and wrinkly his neck looks next to her teenage face!!! Get back with Nikki please, at least next to someone your own age your face doesn't look like a dirty dish cloth, I can't believe no one has an issue with this, I'm beside myself! He's at least 40 years older than her!!!

Now, I'm still not up to speed with what I've missed but...Does Victoria know about Victor and Sabrina? Because the way she was speaking to Sabrina on the phone is not the way I would be speaking to my friend after she spent the day pashing up my dad, no, my phone manner would be very, very different!

Um, you can not accuse him of being ugly!

Right! Someone has got to fill me in on what the hell is going on around here!!!!


I've been on holidays - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you - but let's get down to business! I haven't seen Y&R for over two weeks and I get home to a broken down IQ with no taped episodes!!! Grrrr!!!!

I see that Chloe is turning into a right bitch so that's good to see, I really didn't miss Lilly's goody two shoes crap over Christmas, THAT, I can do without. But is she pregnant now? Has she told Neil yet?

And what is up with John???!!! Are they not getting tired of bringing back Gloria's husbands from the grave? A bit old don't you think? They just chucked John back in but with a funny accent and a slight oral tick, no, I'm not buying it!

So why was his ghost walking around before? Will the ghost be back? Has it visited Jack in the last couple of weeks?

Is Gloria not at all freaked out that her husbands keep coming back from the dead?

And boy does Victor move fast, already whispering sweet nothing - in French no less - in YOUNG Sabrina's ear! Is Victoria mad about this?

Help me!!!

Absolutely Geisha are not prostitutes - a common misconception. So man7y peopple are so very wrong about the actual role of the Geisha, they were trained 'artists' and not just in the art of satisfying a man because many of them never even slept with their clients.

They were hired for their skills - comedy, acting, singing, dancing, etc.

A great book to read, fictional but with great truths, is Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. It's been mentioned in the messageboards before so hopefully W puts it up because it really is a gorgeous book and goes deep into the history of the Geisha.

Thank you for your wonderful review Linda, I very much enjoyed it although I can't say the same for all of Bryce Courtenay's novels - many, not all. Perhaps I will give Fishing for Stars a go.
