Ciao Baby: The "Go Faster Plaster"
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The idea is that by sticking this across the bridge of your nose, the nostrils are opened wider and your muscles get an increased supply of oxygen. As de rigeur as the Kevin Keegan perm once was, the go faster plaster has recently been the on-pitch accessory no footballer worth his salt could be seen without. Sartorial fashions pioneered by footballers have always been questionable and with the new season in full swing, it's time to say arrivederci:
Because the prospect of looking like the victim of a spectacular shaving accident surely outweighs any possible physiological benefit
Because strapping one on on a Sunday morning after tying a few on on a Saturday night will bring out the David Beckham you believe lurks within
Because plasters never have been, are not and never will be cool
Because you could always just blow your nose instead
