beautiful blogging sarah - simple yet effective, and I quite agree about the word "vintage".

I must disagree about vintage (speaking as someone whose house and wardrobe is filled with both vintage and secondhand things). 'Vintage' is something which evokes, through spirited or beautiful design, the era in which it was made. 'Secondhand' is... something you bought, and someone owned it before you. My purple vinyl chair is vintage; my grotty old car is secondhand. My grotty old car is great simply because it moves me around, while my purple vinyl chair is great because it screams, attractively, '1970s doctor's waiting room!'

'...*are* filled...' Jeez. Conjugate, Danielle.

Yes, but I bet you don't call things that are secondhand vintage, just because you think it sounds more upmarket, Danielle. No yuppie wanker you, I would warrant.

That's my point. Vintage had a specific meaning and it has now "been repurposed by the snob classes" to refer to anything bought secondhand.

Although, to be fair, when someone is rude about your beautifully hideous eBayed paisley dress it is kind of nice to be able to drolly say "but it's vintage" and make them stfu.

Hey, that Dan & Dan video is great - so well done - the guy must be a professional !
Now I know the origin of that expression "Right said Fred, both of us together" (always stated tunefully). It was a family saying, usually said when it was time to leave (either from somewhere or for somewhere). The lego version is brill !
Thanks for the enlighten-tainen-ment.
Cheers,
Brent. -
