More sadness

If it's true that Rihanna was paid half a million pounds - that's right, half a million pounds - to switch on the Christmas lights at Westfield Shopping Centre, then it is finally, undeniably true that capitalism has reached its nadir. If she was paid more than £10,000 that would be a travesty.

[dls]

Yeah, but that probably included her bus fare.

[atticus]

Ah, but how many people did she pull in to the shopping centre? If, say, the shops got an extra £10m in sales because of her presence, an outlay of 5% probably represents good value.

[dls]

Tat would assume that a lot of people knew who she was. Singer? I think .

Jealousy doesn't suit you f You sayin you would turn down that amount of money if you were asked to turn the lights on Besides, that is a mere snippet in her earning capacity. In fact, it isn't a great deal when you think it doesn't even buy you a decent 4 bed house in many parts of the UK, or a flat in a prestigeous part of London or any part for that matter

She is bringing a new range of designs to River Island so through promotional acts such as this one she is boosting business revenue which can only be a good thing in this climate for businesses as well as her own range of clothing Its not as if she has been paid through public funding or the consumer compared to some areashttp://www.guardian.co.uk/football ... se-tickets

How do you know that she is not giving the money to a charity?

I did write carefully, so I'm disappointed that you missed the point.

It doesn't matter what she does with the money. The obscene thing is that her celebrity results in being paid an insulting amount of money (insulting to the people who live in that part of East London most of whom are in our 'underclass') for something a trained monkey could do.

[BoJangles]

Thats a bit insulting to munkeys roflol

Is there a difference between sadness and piste orf as I cannot make my mind up which one I am today and how to recover my position that puts me back in play wth a chance I think I may have shot myself in my own foot

[Finvarra]

Put on a brave smile and hop for a while on the good foot... the shot one usually heals quite quickly

[BoJangles]

I dont think it is going to be that easy if I am honest Still a bit bewildered how I managed to put a passion before my business head Maybe, maybe, maybe oh fook it, I'll think about it in the morning and see if I attempt a correction or I let it go....maybe it just wasn't meant to be even though I have waited 10 years for this and never thought it would have been a possibility having lost it the first time around
