I’d like to introduce you to the ‘poor’ relatives of the Saudi royal family, where cousin-marrying is not so much encouraged as celebrated, complete with congenital birth problems!

The sheer incompetence displayed in this 20+year - veteran’s performance of her duties here is rather frightening. How does someone get trained this badly?

How does one do that, please?

The Click Machine is ever-hungry, but that’s a great observation.

Being a good Greek-American, I wonder if she also has a complimentary membership in Golden Dawn?

I too am mystified by that statement.

That is rather a boring pattern (90% of Royal Albert looks like this) but I guess you can’t have anything trendsetting after 95 years. 

This is the answer I came here for - thanks!!!

You asked the question we all wanted to know. Thank you.

Editing is sometimes tilting at windmills. Thank you.

Did your friend publish the findings? I know a lot of people who’d be interested (if they don’t have it already). Thank you.

Yes, Nanjing and Unit 731 weren’t NEARLY as bad as their Western histories indicate.

Or the Canadian senator who thought there was a lot of good that came out of residential schools.

One wonders if there was a payoff involved for sacrificing his academic reputation. Of the score or more of people I know who are quite studied about this particular issue and the ‘freedom’ many women had to not make this choice of sexual slavery, one does wonder why this was published at all. 

Bravo on the spot-on post!

I’ve done the Macarena only once, at a company Christmas party - I was one of three fellows with twelve ladies dancing at that late hour. I don’t know how well I did it, but I was the only one of the three who didn’t throw up on the dance floor.

They actually do - tungsten, gold, a number of other minerals that I can’t think of.

Wrong country, but yes.

I’m glad someone mentioned sotol. Had it myself from a friend with family in Mexico and thought it delicious. Sotol is made from Dasilyrion wheeleri (a relative to the Agave).
