The last chef I worked for invited one of her colleagues (another chef) in for dinner. He and his group easily racked up about $300 worth... Chef comped it down to around $75 because, you know, colleagues/friends/whatever... Guest raved about everything, including the service, and ended up leaving...a $4 tip for his…

This was in a textbook, you guys. Not a Chive article. A TEXTBOOK.

My sexual education teacher was horrible. He said to me, "...you shouldn't be out in the open with your sexuality. It makes others uncomfortable, and makes you look like a target and a victim." He said that transgender people and bisexuals "...do not exist, they're doing it for attention." He also said that "...it…

I honestly think it's mostly that men aren't raised to have an internal, never-ending shame if their house isn't Martha Stewart levels of clean and perfect like women are. It's not that they can't, or won't clean - it's that they honestly don't have that same societal pressure there driving them to do it.*

I often say things like 'I totally boned him,' which make no physical sense in that I don't have a bone, but we don't have an equivalent. 'I totally pussied him' just doesn't have the same ring to it. 'I totally clam-shelled him'?

This is so funny because one of the reasons I love Miss Fischer is because I think it is quite wholesome, "good, clean fun" as they say!

Fabulous. Kerry Greenwood originally conceived Phryne Fisher back in the late 80's as a sex positive, smart, glamorous, adventurous heroine because she realised there a need for one.

So she's not allowed to have sex with various men because it's immoral and because it ruins the chemistry between her and the MARRIED detective she works with? Really? Carefree no strings sex is bad but adultery would be fine (presumably as long as it's the guy cheating not a woman)

I loved that, too. I like that Dot maintains her moral center, but really grows in a way that is consistent with that. And I love Hugh and Dot together, but he just isn't that smart or intuitive or something.

Been watching 'Miss Fisher' since it first aired here in Australia, it is very addictive and Phryne is definitely one of the best characters. Despite being set in the 20s it manages to comment issues that are still relevant today, like rape, abortion, gay marriage, and feminism in general. And then there's the fact…

I'm watching Season 2 on ABC1 every Friday night whoop whoop!

I got pulled over by the cops once when I had one of the Pryne audio books on. I was so flustered I forgot to hit pause and was a good 20 seconds before I realised things were getting...steamy. Most awkward traffic stop ever.

Kinda like all the negative reviews I've read about Two and a Half Men. All those slutty man whores with a new girl every week. It would be such an awesome show if it wasn't for those guys just whoring around like that!!

I guarantee you none of these people have ever complained about James Bond and his promiscuous lifestyle. Gotta love double standards.

"you must marry her uncle, no arguing on that. We are fighting a war, no time to be picky and choose the prettiest bride".

Dude,s he's being forced to marry into the family of the king who has done nothing but torture her, both physically and emotionally, starting with her father's death. Which means she'll never get away from them. And she actually refused a way out, and is watching it sail away.

I've read them. But these recaps aren't aimed at people who've read the books. And please don't shout.

If you think Littlefinger is a minor player do yourself a favor and READ.THE.DAMN.BOOKS,he´s anything but that.

Here's to hoping that Game of Thrones ends with Arya delivering a box containing a mutilated Littlefinger to Varys. Shouldn't have messed with a dude who can hold a grudge for decades.

Huh. This is the second recap I've read so far that has ignored the Jaime/Brienne/Roose scene, which I thought was quite well staged and acted. Knives and wine.
