This. Anglican services are restrained affairs.

I swear. NZ all the way.

Hey! Internet trolls are everywhere.

Nothing says intelligent, nuanced thought by turning up shouting MAGA, wielding a giant flag and strapping your gun onto your belt holster like it’s a mobile phone at a school mass shooting.

soylent green?

I recommend a raw food diet and there are some supplements you can give that are basically treats that might help.

Wait! People actually do that to cats? I really hate people sometimes.

:( :( :(

Wow, someone walked out without leaving money down? I get the irritation of not getting the bill on time, but you usually know how much the drinks are, or can make an estimate, and then leave the money, especially if they’re with a friend.

See, we slow eaters mean more food for the rest of you hoover types. I am perfectly happy to graze slowly for a long time, especially if it’s just me. But when others are there, they usually end up eating about half of my meal.

Hey! There’s nothing wrong with that.

This reminds me of years ago when I first lived in NYC. My cousin and I found a diner on 7th Ave that had actual homemade roast lamb and real gravy (look, that was my favourite and you got a cup of actual homemade chicken soup, too!) for $8. Other food on non roast lamb day was good, too.

The one person who should have been thinking of collateral damage was the damned man with the ring and the commitment to another.

Thank goodness you got the whole Luke/Annie/June affair. Others have missed the point of why it’s in this episode.

I agree with your advice. Thing is, no one knows how the other person might react, and you don’t know how you’d react - in the moment - roles reversed.

great. now I want salmon tacos.

Peri was actually okay in some of the adventures with Sixie (I know, maybe I’m weird). And Nicola Bryant is gorgeous*. They also put her in those horrible outfits that hooked the dads.

I second that!

It really helped Donna ended up being written on a great arc (until that unforgivable end). She was fleshed out and grew as a character, unlike Mel.

Have you listened to any Big Finish? Mel is much better in that. As are most of the companions - they’re fleshed out. I heartily recommend the Sixth Doctor/Mel story, “The One Doctor”. It’s hilarious and wonderful. It’s either free or $3 (or something) on the Big Finish site.
