I live on the same road as her ex husband (her old marital home). This year at Christmas we covered our tree with cupcake-shaped decorations and put it in the window. British people are passive-aggressive like that. (FYI - so that our diss makes sense to you - she calls her friends "Team Cupcake")

Why is that strange? I'm British and I've never seen a circumcised penis. Nor have I ever seen one that wasn't clean and disease-free. It's only really done for religious reasons, and sometimes not even then - my ex was Jewish, albeit not particularly devout, and he was uncut.

My god, you must be having some seriously rough sex.

I really don't think so - he's rich, sure, but he's English and barely ever goes to the US. How on earth would he have any influence with the US border agency?!

Your loss, America! I'll happily have Nigella over for her holiday. True, there isn't much sun in London and I live uncomfortably close to her ex husband, but if anything a juicy cocaine scandal makes entry to chez Glitterbug easier.

Yeah, out of all the endings of all Pierce's books that was the one I found least believable. Even when I went back to reread, it just made so little sense!

It's good, VERY different from the other two though! Also very long. But I really enjoyed it.

Indiana Jones role play?

WHAAAAAAT

We were on the same flight, too - it was destiny! <3

TAMORA PIERCE REFERENCE YAY I LOVE YOU

No, that's not it. It was stuff like the revelation that she had no female friends other than Lily for loads of hideously sexist reasons (they don't like sports and they cry, apparently!)

Both. She has seamstresses and other designers on hand to help and advise with the structure of the garments and the process of producing samples, but I know that most of the original designs and ideas for the pieces come from her.

No, she didn't say she wished she'd done that! She just said she thought Hermione and Ron weren't the best pairing in the end.

Apparently it's supposed to even out the playing field, as a bright but disadvantaged kid may well have good grades but no opportunity to do many extra-curricular activities. Also, because you apply for one specific subject (no majors/minors) your aptitude for that particular subject is the most important thing -

It seems so strange to me that you can apply to so many universities in the US. In the UK you can apply to a maximum of five, through a centralised online application process, and you can't apply to both Oxford and Cambridge, you have to go for one or the other. For medicine I think it's only four applications

No, she was the 31st woman in ONE MONTH!

Yes, that's what I was getting at - the ending was planned so rigidly at the beginning that even though they went off course, they had to wrench everything back to fit an ending that was probably intended to happen after 3-5 seasons. It was jarring and didn't fit. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan but I felt the same way

No, you misunderstand me, I should have been clearer - I LOVE Harry Potter. It's absolutely amazing. But the epilogue was poorly, and noticeably differently, written compared to the rest of the series. I sort of feel that way about the last episode of this show - they stuck with what they'd envisaged at the beginning

I can promise you they filmed the ending in 2006. They had a spoof video as publicity for the last season featuring the same actors and they look totally different.
