LOL, reminds me of the press releases I used to send out in about 20 different languages when I worked in Cyprus for the online marketing company I was employed by...
They always finished with ---End--- and the Swedish translation as Slut.

A great book by Ben Elton, called Gridlock, was about a fabled US company who wanted to launch the first US mini to an International market - and their marketing department searched every language except English - and called it the Crappy!

Yes the page is also blank for me.
It's an image only - shared off facebook. No text...
Does this make any difference for you and Jen?

She probably wouldn’t touch you with a barge pole either.....sorry but a nasty little comment.
It was not meant nasty. It was poking fun at the article and why get so defensive about her she is deluded and out of her depth. My views only so respect them as I would yours.
