A solicitor (in Britain) is a lawyer who deals with wills and simpler legal matters. An advocate, also known as a barrister, pleads cases in higher courts - ie. a murder trial. Often a client will approach a solicitor, who will find the right advocate for the client. Hopefully some of our British friends can enlighten…

Did John Waters direct this?

A Scottish friend was a solicitor and he took me to watch a court in session. I had never been in a court room with a jury before (or since). The case wasn’t high profile, just an alleged burglary. It seemed to me that the jury was bored and wasn’t paying much attention. Afterwards I asked my friend if that was normal…

The similarities between Orthodox Judaism and the Muslims always amaze me. You’d think they’d get along better.

Perhaps the woman was off her meds, but it would be a reverse in vino veritas.

And using the excuse “supernatural incidents” is a convenient way to quit the job, no feelings hurt.

Lorde’s career so far is reminding me of Kate Bush’s at a similar age.

My wallet went back in my pocket when I saw that Tom Cruise was in it. It might have been the most incredible horrorfest ever, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to stare at his ferret face for two hours.

Little gnome man should be removed from his position of authority ASAP. My 94 year old dementia patient mother has a better memory than this guy. Maybe my mother would be a better choice for Attorney General.

What responsible parent would let their child be out playing at 1 am?

One of my favorite bad Asian casting was a guest turn from Ricardo Montalban on Hawaii Five-O.

They lost me at “Tom Cruise” on the poster.

I always figure when I see men doing this on the subway, that they have coconuts for testicles. Not pretty.

I had a friend in Scotland who was born in 1905. In her 90s, she told me that she always voted because of this woman losing her life and the fight that women had getting the vote.

The Brits have the best idea for this - everyone wears a uniform. Admittedly, the girls skirts in many uniforms are sometimes a tad too short, but the uniform also eliminates the economic barriers for the kids also. You can’t tell who can afford the expensive shirts if everyone is wearing the same thing.

Nice to know your system’s just as bad as Toronto’s.

I have three Heirloom apple trees that I sought out 20 years ago from a nursery that specialized in the old apples. The apples taste like candy, although they may be ugly and/or don’t last long once picked.

Wow, these are the most comments I’ve ever received on this site! I guess being a shit disturber is a necessity here.

Unfortunately he’s just the male-model puppet of the Liberal backroom boys. Trudeau himself has little substance and he’s certainly not his father, a highly intelligent man who was educated at the London School of Economics. Trudeau fils was a drama teacher before putting aside his trust fund and entering politics.
