Sort of yes
I'm in the process of applying for a phd so I need to save up as much money as I can.

My friend showed me a flyer asking for 'models' for a 'film' paying £300 a day. I was tempted... its 300 quid!

Ah I see! My sister's doing a similar thing, but a step down the ladder
She's applying for work at the moment, and considering an MA in her favourite area. She's a clever thing, I've high hopes for her.

Haha! My friend got a job as a "hostess" at a "gentleman's bar". Alarm bells rang at the phrases "cash in hand" and "Sex is not compulsory". Oh dear.

Yeah, it was an interesting advert. Oh I also got asked by a Russian friend if I knew anyone who he could put a Chechen in contact with who wanted someone to marry a Ukrainian girl for £5000.

Again, tempted, but hard to explain to the parents...

"Hi mum, dad, this is my new Ukrainian bride... the Chechen mafia say we have to be married for 3 years. Smile!"

My sister was going to get one as a graduation gift from my parents
They balked at it when they realised the tiny ones are upwards of £2000...

My middle sister has
chosen her engagement ring. From Tiffany, the cheapest silver one from the design she wants is £10,000. But as she says, who wants silver...

Now she just has to find a boyfriend, who then has to get a job that can afford one. Its all part of the plan...

Chosen the ring before the man?
The most I've got is deciding I'm not wearing white for my wedding, but I'm not even sre if I will get married. But choosing specifics? That's commitment.

Oh she
doesn't believe in sex, kissing, or relationships before marriage.

I'm not quite clear on how she plans to get to the marriage stage with these beliefs...

I was inquiring as to how his family
produced a daughter/sister so 'unique'.
I was using the plural of you to emphasise that I wasn't accusing HIM specifically of being the cause of her eccentricity.

Oh I see, this all makes sense
I echo this sentiment.

Ah

I couldn't be bother going to get my English-Scouse dictionary :)

Not really sure. She is probably the most unpleasant person I've met in my life. Not sure how we came from the same place.
