The third was the best, I thought, because it wasn't at all far removed from contemporary life: the same furniture, clothes, everything, except this one conceit. It's very compellingly done. The second episode, while interesting and with very watchable characters, was too far removed to be emotional.

Thanks:) A day without a Pratchett reference is a day wasted...

"get your shoes for a few bucks at a flea market stall, the chances are you'll be buying them again real soon. Cheaply made, poor-quality items may save you a few bucks in the short term, but you'll only have to pay more later to replace them."

would be extra-awesome if the script was done in polish that changed colour when exposed to heat...

Did you see him in Rome? HELLO.

Rob Lowe but only if he would role-play as Sam Seaborn. Otherwise, Brad Pitt all the way.

The public health care system is the default here, and close to free at the hospital level - if not brought by ambulance, you might have to pay a once-off fee of €50-70.

I am amused by the little girl's bad-assness, but also, zoos creep me out, so I just ended up feeling sorry for the lion...

Ha. I was 20 when that happened to me, I must be behind the times:)

The cough is often the last thing to go (post-viral cough), but I was diagnosed with a form of asthma after the above-mentioned incident and given inhalers. Might be worth a visit back to your GP if you can?

I have coughed so much I vomited (thanks, asthma!) I was a little disgusted, but mainly I was annoyed that I didn't really have time to digest those mashed potatoes.

In the pants.

What, no love for Dieux de Stade?

oh, yeah. Hate those places:(

My thoughts exactly.

The WoW ship came to Dublin a few years back but wasn't allowed to dock.

Women on Web will also send it to you if you live in a country where abortion is illegal.

Yes, but your comment implied that seeing a doctor to get a D&C was a good idea after miscarriage/abortion, and it isn't always. A doctor's visit - even 'just in case' might not be available, affordable, or safe for every woman - like the article says, we don't live in that world.
