Depends on who you're entertaining.

Seems like this guy missed that cooking isn't just about fancy spreads and exotic ingredients but, you know, time management.

The thing is these things are so damn awkward to clean that you're probably spending more time overall than if you just used a frying pan, and definitely a hygiene concern. If you cook all your meals on the grill, 3 meals a day, then you're probably not cleaning it well enough between meals. There's a clear difference…

I had a george forman grill and used it maybe once or twice.

I watched Farscape a long time ago, when I was a kid. I didn't like how dark and moody it was, especially compared to Star Trek TNG, the other sci-fi show I watched regularly. So much of both went straight over my head.so I actually think rewatching them might be enjoyable for me. Even as a kid I recognised something…

I never thought Marquez was that great at writing sex scenes.

Come on, even a cursory google is enough to prove that idea wrong.

Don't you think literature would lose out if nobody ever depicted sex, and instead just 'cut away'?

He wanted to win an election, not be president.

I dunno, sex is a normal part of life, so it should crop up in a lot of stories. Just writers either try too hard to spice it up, or they're too sheepish to talk about it in adult terms . I think there's a middle ground between clinical realism and ignoring it/euphemism. Like I said, you could cut quite a bit from…

I don't think people want to read matter-of-factly about sex at all. If I wrote:

'Manhood' and 'shaft' beat 'prick' hands down.

A couple of these start out decent, or at least not terrible. The Erri De Luca excerpt especially. Then they just fall off a cliff.

1) the internet.

Part of me thinks that, if he had been crowned before his relationship with her, then he might have been able to change the rules of the Church to allow it.

I think the ceremony is purposefully anti-climactic. It is, essentially, a long walk to a chair where a priest dips his fingers into oil and touches another person. Of course, to all Christians, God is not a visible thing, but I feel that the point is that it's all a charade, for all the forwards-thinking of Philip…

Yes, but a different kind of saviour.

Eh, I think there have been so many versions of Superman (and everyone else) for there to be a definitive version. In any case, I prefer Superman: first line of defence against the terrors of space to Superman: saving cats from trees or saving humanity from itself. That's exactly what's so worrying about Superman,…

I think you should maybe give it a try. At the very least, it adds a different tone to character interactions and provides some funny (intentionally and unintentionally) scenes, as well as some genuinely charming ones. Also, dat Trespasser ending.

Sweetness and lightning gets a big +1 from me. The show is just pure 'D'awww' from start to finish.
