My cousin once had to borrow money from his mother for a train ticket home from uni for Christmas because he spent his money on what I believe was a jewelled sword on an online game.

Having dated a guy who has tried and failed miserably at no less than SIX start ups, my advice would be: get out before it tanks. Because 99.9% of the time the "business" will be bust within three months. At first you think you're dating this confident, creative, driven guy... then by the end of the year you have a…
Truth. That man is DELICIOUS.
I'm genuinely astonished she's managed to stay relevant - but then, I was always Team Blair and I just resent that she's more well known than Leighton Meester.
I've been to the passion play! What an amazing experience. And I say that as an atheist.
The only time I ever saw a prince was in Starbucks. Go figure.
Number three on my list! It's only so low down because it's a nightmare to get to! Your plan sounds glorious. Can we also have teenage-style sleepovers with ghost stories?
Not at all! Alnwick castle is also on my list ;)
I am a huge Bram Stoker fan (I walk past his old house in Chelsea every morning on the way to the tube! It's beautiful, and not at all creepy), but I'm afraid I'm saving myself for "Sleeping Beauty's Castle", AKA the Château d'Ussé, or (even better) Arundel Castle, should the Howards ever wish to be rid of it.…

Characterful is actually a real world, most recently I heard it used by an estate agent - "a characterful property with plenty of original features".
"Do people really talk/write like this?"
I know she did but I wanted to combine two DM cliches (baby body and taking intrusive pictures at funerals) into one!
I know... but it was the most horrendous combination of Daily Mail cliches I could come up with... canon or not. All it needed really was some way to shoehorn in the price of their house.
The Daily Prophet is so clearly based on the Daily Mail. I almost wish they had internet in the Wizarding World just so I could see Rowling's take on the Sidebar of Shame...
I fainted once when I had a flu jab. Now my doctor makes me lie down when I get injections. I think I'd have a panic attack if anyone went down there with a needle!
How do you know there isn't?
It did an hour and twenty minutes ago when I wrote that comment, genius. In London!
