Ok, I don't think you read my comment. Firstly, as I stated, this isn't actually a rule. Secondly, I specifically said that I don't see why A JOURNALIST wearing a suit for an interview is a big deal - I made no mention of anyone else. No need to get your knickers in a twist.

I don't get why this is a big deal. This was guidelines on the UK government's website regarding Royal visits in the UK, not anything released in advance of the visit to the US. They made no announcements at all regarding any dress codes for the US visit. So... everyone made a big hoohaa about a rule that didn't even…

Yeah, obviously you don't want to actually get hammered, that's just bad manners - I try to aim for the state where my head is spinning a little so I don't notice turbulence as much, but can still walk in a straight line to the toilet. That's the sweet spot.

I'm so scared of flying that my parents now consciously try to get me tipsy before take off. As in, we'll get to the airport early to neck some wine in the lounge and Mum will flag down a steward and ask for booze the minute we sit down "for the good of the cabin". They're always really, really nice about it as well -…

Agreed about matchy-matchy trees! I may be biased (in fact, I'm most definitely biased) but I think the most lovely christmas trees are covered with ornaments collected over a lifetime - or several! Then every Christmas you get them out and have a good old laugh about the fact that the Tinkerbell needed to have her…

As a Brit I saw "4oo pounds" and thought "Well, not a bad deal for a wedding dress these days... but why is this news...?"

Yep, I do juice cleanses using my nutribullet after holidays/heavy drinking weekends or if I find myself overeating/eating crap and starting to put on weight, and they really help me to eat more mindfully.

I'm exactly the same. I have a huge collection of non-underwired bras (like little bralet things) that I wear to bed. I need the support. My boobs ache if I don't wear a bra.

Yeah, I stuck with it for a while for the clothes porn (same with Gossip Girl)!

Ahhh, gorgeous Mr Pamuk. I watched Divergent for him alone. That's how much I fancy him.

Ugh, that damn instagram pose. Toes together, heels apart, knees bowed so far outwards you look like a praying mantis, et voila, ten inch thigh gap!!!!1!!!

I once saw someone put ketchup on an oyster then eat it with a fork. I choose to believe it's why her boyfriend (my good friend) dumped her a week later. I couldn't move past that.

You sound like my kind of asshole. Keep babies away from my drunk brunch, for christ's sake, and we can all leave more peaceful, happier lives.

Wait, was that person Missandry upthread?!

Well, a baby in a nice country pub on a Sunday afternoon when everyone is enjoying a late lunch is one thing.

I'm still not sure what the point is of going through the ceremony again - my parents had a huge party for their 25th which cost way more than their original wedding reception, but there was no church involved and my mum sure as hell wasn't wearing white! To each their own, I suppose, and I'm sure your parents had a…

I've never understood renewing one's vows. They're made for life, this isn't an MOT, you don't need to redo them every three years to keep the marriage legal!! The only reason I can think of for renewing a promise is if the promise has already been broken.

Well yes, then in your case it would be pretentious and a pain in the arse. But I do take issue with the blanket sweeping statements above that that is always the case.

Well, I do have to disclaim that I'm English and I've never been to a wedding that wasn't in London or within a two hour drive (out of 20+) - the UK is small in the grand scheme of things! We also really don't have bridal showers here and "bachelorette parties" are pretty much dinner and drinks or the bride throwing a…

My god, people can be so nasty. I'm watching the replies to you with horror.
