If I'm not mistaken, she's from Walsall originally.
As MTV babes are concerned, I must admit I've always preferred Julia Carling personally, she's got that "girl next door" look about her.
*Edit* - My bad, she was a presenter on VH1, not MTV.

be from Walsall. No amount of elocution lessons and stick-related drubbings can remove a Walsall accent. Only fire, and lots of it.

Ryanair flight delayed for 4 hours - passengers not allowed off the plane, but the staff won't provide or sell refreshments. Passengers call police, who turn up with Mars Bars, Double Deckers, etc. Happened in Scotland, so probably deep fried.

in advertising/design a lot of money is paid for very little work...thats why you have to put up with bullshit from morons...
otherwise go work in a real job like most people where the majority of their day is totally wasted by a variety of meaningless tasks.

Pile one is a small pile of designers who, as you say, get paid a huge amount for little (although in fairness it is the company execs that get the money not the designers).
Pile two is a fucking huge pile of designers that are underpaid, overworked and driven to distraction but tightwad idiots.
