I'm calling it now: This band will be done by the end of the year.

No tea, no shade.

I like to call him Crazy Ole' Uncle George, nowadays. He's like that embarassing relative we all have, who's really too old for the shit s/he gets up to.

I'm sorry but the word "best" and "One Direction" are mutually exclusive.

And that's probably why he's sick of this shit. It's the same reason some celebs go to ground for awhile. They need a break from the fans as much as the media. But he's in a group that has to hit while the iron's hot, so there's no breaks. It was either deal with it or leave, I think.

It's worth noting that Zayn isn't as thirsty as Ginger Spice, who just wanted to go solo to be the center of ALL the attention.

More like when Andrew Ridgeley left Wham! (if any of you younggins even know who I'm talking about, LOL.)

I disagree to a certain extent. After a few years, sometimes just a couple, they let you go. UNLESS you have any public thing happen, e.g. a divorce, an accident, a lawsuit, etc.

There was no point when this country wasn't mixed. It's just how the Anglos and then later white immigrants of the…

There aren't good thrift shops anymore with funky items for the kids to play with cheaply AND most of the kids don't want to, anyway.

I could only guess: To deal with heavier or taller patients? To offer male patients a choice if they're uncomfortable with female nurses? I'm sure there are reasons.

I don't like it but, as an American, I can only think and say about it that, unlike the States, these countries never were really interested in immigration.

I'm saying it's one possible explanation for this particular field of employment where men are underrepresented but, for whatever reason, desired by employers.

Not even. I was civil to everyone including you. Until you flounced in with the "snotty" comment and then attempted to be condescending.

Ummm...okay.
