UK mom gives 7-year-old daughter liposuction voucher

Quote:

'I see these vouchers as investing in her future - like saving money for her education.'
Miss Burge, who has spent more than £500,000 on her own surgical enhancements is determined to transform her daughter into a glamour model.

She first made headlines in 2010 when she confessed to teaching her then six-year-old daughter to pole dance. And she has since been in the spotlight numerous times - for all the wrong reasons.

I actually just heard about this story...from my brother, who's returning today from a trip to Africa.

Apparently he was bungee jumping at that same location just the day before. Dayum.

If you're talking about our country, as a MMO player... This isn't new, what with municipal-level ordinances imposed on PC shops here, but sooner or later it could go national, with lawmakers looking for quick votes from the so-called "moral values" block in the next elections.

MeoTwister5 · 2012-01-10, 10:13

Eh I once played DotA at a PC shop for 20 hours straight and... uh... yeah...

The longest gaming marathon I ever had was waaaay back in my teenager days. Over 72 continuous hours with short coffee breaks in between. The fallout... was not a fun experience. Probably one of the stupidest things I ever did, and will never do again.

Anh_Minh · 2012-01-10, 17:07

Eh. I never did anything crazy like that. I kinda regret it now...

Israeli bill would outlaw comparisons to Nazis

Use of Godwin's Law to get a fine and jail time?

Neither I. The longest I did was a full night but that didn't happen more than 10 time.

My longest LAN party was about 44 hours. Of course, I was much younger then.

3 days in a row here. Playing CS non-stop because I had nothing to do during school holidays.

Of course, the guys who participated were commenting that it would be no different during NS when a couple of them got hospitalised.

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2012-01-10, 21:25

48hrs, in EQ levelling with a friend from school. It was fun at the time, but it got delirious towards the end. We made a fairly bitchin' pyramid from cans though.

teachopvutru · 2012-01-10, 23:17

You guys are hardcore, haha.

Whenever I tried to even pull an all-nighter, I would fall asleep by noon, so I never got close to those hours. I have zero resistance to sleep.

Yes, the deleriousness, I remember it well (I think). Let me guess, Mountain Dew? We totally depended on that and Jolt Cola during our parties.

I don't know. I completely lost my sense for pain, loud noises, nagging, etc. All I know is to aim for the head.

Damn, DoTA is way too mentally engaging for me to play that many games in a row.

I think the longest I've played, non-stop, would be several hours during my childhood on the old N64. I've been to LAN parties and played WoW for a few years, but I've never had that crazy-gamer marathon endurance. I need a break, man.

Though now I barely have time for any games, so I suppose it's an enviable position I was once in.

Heh, only time I aced during a scrim was at a LAN party when I was 16. That game was fun, but people took it way too seriously sometimes.

I had never seen a barfight, but I know what a LANshop fight looks like.

"Late last month, Iran put on display what it insisted was a captured American
stealth drone. At the time, Tehran claimed it brought down the RQ-170 with a
sophisticated electronic attack. Nonsense, says one Iranian engineer who claims
to have inside knowledge of the drone-nab. The Islamic Republic used force fields
and flying saucers to subdue and capture the unmanned aircraft."
