I can totally understand your position. I was in the same boat a couple of years ago with a couple of jobs, my dream job which involved a really long recruitment process left me hanging for months while they applied for a security clearance. The job was literally the same as the one I’d just been doing at another…

True story: I just came back from a month-long trip to East Africa and while we were in the Serengeti our guide told us that male lions can’t run as well as female lions because their balls rub together and it’s very painful, apparently.

They’re Kunekune pigs, usually kept as pets and not for eating. They’re a smaller breed of pig (as pigs go!) that take a while to reach full size. They’re brilliant animals, lots of people around where I grew up kept them as pets and I really really want to have a couple one day when I have the space.

I am that poor bastard! I severely pissed off some Orlando Bloom fangirls on Livejournal back in the day when I let slip that his character would die in the Troy movie (which SPOILER ALERT he doesn’t even as it turned out!!).

Even Robert Baratheon used Targaryen ancestry to legitimise his claim to the throne after his rebellion (his grandmother was one).

As if I didn’t love Sansa and Sophie Turner enough already!

There is absolutely definitely 100%ly no such thing as a Duke of Provence.

I had a few Christmases like that until they thankfully changed over to satellite radio which had a mix of other, non-Christmas music in it.

A very important point, thanks for raising it. I’ve only ever seen her referred to as Ms Dhu for this reason. This article mentions this in the second paragraph: https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-20/ms-dhu-family-to-sue-wa-over-death-in-custody/8728620

It’s fairly entertaining, worth a watch.

Right plus she totally threw a book at Jenna Malone that one time!!

She just seems like an inherently good person. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say anything bad about her.

I think all of the costumes in The Favourite were originals made for the film (and some in quite unusual ways), those worn by the main characters anyway. I’d be extremely happy with Black Panther winning that award though.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your furry family member.

So much kitty love, I don’t know how you handle it!!

Mine is my middle name (kinda), which doubles as a Buffy reference, plus the answer to life, the universe and everything.

I bingewatched it all and loved it. She is divine as always, there’s a bit more of her in it but the kids are the main focus. I thought it was brilliant, but each to their own I guess.

Same. Everyone in it was extremely annoying.

Right? I need no further information.

There are so many excellent jokes in there, I’ve seen it a bazillion times but always find something new to laugh at.
