Princess Anne herself did not disappoint either; her incredibly
bright royal blue fitted frock-coat, compact matching pillbox and
prim veil suggested an exciting combination of flight attendant and
dominatrix. Annabel Crabb reporting on the marraige of The Prince and Princess
of Wales in 2005
She further reported: But a stir was caused by Sara Buys, the girlfriend of the new
Duchess of Cornwall's son, Tom Parker Bowles. Miss Buys, a fashion writer, capitalised on the event by attaching
to her head an adventurous confection of gold wire and leaf, which
resembled nothing so much as an avant-garde canary cage.
We're all familiar with Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it
will." But not many of us know where it comes from. Some say it is
named after US Air Force Captain Edward Murphy, an engineer at
Edwards Air Force Base in the late 1940s. Murphy was working on a
rocket sled project designed to test how much deceleration a human
could handle in a crash. Noticing one day that a technician had wired a critical component
wrongly, Murphy remarked, "If there's a way to do it wrong, he'll
find it." An air force doctor quoted his remark to the press, and
Murphy's Law was born. That doctor, Colonel John Stapp, also came up
with a law of his own. It's known as Stapp's Ironical Paradox: "The
universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an
incredible miracle."
There is something of a movement today towards uncluttering our
lives. There are a dozen self-help books on the subject (Rule one:
"Stop reading self-help books"). |
