Fantastic job sir! As for being such a close match for your previous paramour, I remember how much of a fine match you felt EP was for you throughout that year, and since: it's not wholly surprising that a lady who subsequently catches your eye has so much in common with her, that they have a similar enough career in…

I am not sure I agree with your analysis: surely abuse pertains to the person being abused and the effect that such behavior has upon them, rather than the intent from the potential abuser towards that person? I have seen enough physical and emotional abuse from parents wanting to "raise their child to be strong and…

Was gonna say: if it weren't for the reverb unit this would just be the "Dischordant Annoyance Engine".

Think it was based on this type of thing: http://www.fullcircletd.co….

Why turn down a free ticket to the lottery? In case it gets your hopes up, only for the future to mildly disappoint you? You might make a friend, or you might meet other people through this person, or you might just have an interesting afternoon of culture and polite discourse. There's no need to weigh this down with…

Was going to say this straight off the bat: regardless of other issues, she sounds like a bit of a shitty collaborator if she can't return an email within a day or two (emails ffs! They're right there!).

He does appear to be nearing the "urine-drinking stage" by now.

You could send it by DHL: I had a four-poster bed shipped across the Atlantic once, and it wasn't prohibitively expensive.

What @avclub-90a5da808b7409c044aac94d490e7f0d:disqus said: who keeps someone imprisoned in an unhappy marriage, and even worse, when they aren't happy themselves? Good luck to him and his new amour: they're going to need it. You should absolutely have the talk with him, and at least try and plant a few seeds: if he…

Mark Lanegan's cover of Flatlands by Chelsea Wolfe:

That particular episode was infuriating: Nev and Max were clearly way out of their depth, but they didn't even do the most perfunctory research into several of the surrounding characters. This includes the "The Aunt", who made a big show of being a sceptic, but - it has since been revealed by *fans* of the show who…

I did write A Thing last week - comment here: https://disqus.com/home/dis… - about messaging ladies on dating sites or apps. Basically, what might come across as a casual opener in a bar is likely to come across as lazy, or spam-like evidence of some dude playing a numbers game online. Those ladies you messaged might…

Oysters at a chain restaurant? I didn't even know diarrhoea was on the menu!

Hello,

Maybe it was the sweeping fringe?

SCORPIO NEWS UPDATE: Four days 'til inauguration?

He looks like a ginger Lord Farquaad.

Unfortunately only the second best cleavage in that movie (after Lisa Marie Smith: it was a brief cameo, but certainly made a lasting impression on my younger self).

I disliked the Wii for this exact reason: it's too hard to be immersed in a beautifully-wrought world such as Hyrule when you're waving your arms around like a chump. Also, higher definition versions of Ocarina and Majora's Mask were/are available for the GameCube, and with a simple adapter cable it's possible to…

Hey, thanks; the emotions, daily routines and regard for each other that simply fell into piles of sand when we broke up were just starting to re-solidify into single, 'apart' shapes again. It was the day before her birthday, and I knew she would be alone: she also chose to break ties with her family when we split,…
