Snippets

Posted by Robin on 20 February 2008 9 Comments

Hardened criminals in the Netherlands become less aggressive and have fewer fights when exposed to the scent of oranges, a study has found.

— Read more in Violent criminals calmed by scent of oranges in the UK Telegraph.

The star's personal life didn't dent sales of her scent as she beat Kylie Minogue into second place on celebrity sales.

— Britney is still no. 1 in the UK.

    Hmmm, wonder if orange works on PMS? I tend to pick fights with my poor husband during that time, I'll have to try an orange yankee candle out. :)

    *p.s. Note to the UK: Brit has been working hard on her british accent, so anytime you're ready – come and get her!

    LOL — you need some of that Smiley Therapy perfume :-)

    And really, she has? Why would she (work on a British accent)?

    Nobody knows exactly what the accent thing is about. I'm not a fan of hers by any stretch, but I really do hope she's getting some help. It's so clearly mental illness at this point.

    Rose, we wouldn't dream of depriving you of the lovely Britney!

    Perhaps we could send you back Madonna, and her and Brit could practice their accents togather?

    (Here speaks someone who carefully 'lost' her Scottish accent about two seconds after crossing the border into England!)

    Ugh, no thanks- Madge is bonkers too! She was born in the same area as my husband, near Detroit – somehow he didn't pick up an english accent there. (kinda wish he had! LOL!)

    WHY would you lose your Scottish accent?! It's the sexiest one going!

    Another Yank chiming in: they may look down their noses in England, but to my ears, there is no accent on earth as sexy as the Scottish accent. Not even a French accent.

    Ah, James McEvoy in The Last King of Scotland: now there's a Scottish accent to die for!! The rest of him isn't so bad, either.

    I really wanted to see that, but chickened out — I'm a wuss. How graphic is the violence?
