I really want to believe that someone has actually told the Queen that.

There's a big difference between being in a coma and being legally dead though. Women in comas have given birth to healthy babies but a coma is a different thing and not actually relevant to what happened to her. Marlise had died and wasn't resuscitated so much as she was being kept artificially 'alive' by machines -…

Imagine at if you got 200 days in and she dumped you. That's a lot of crying on the couch thinking about all the times you made an arse of yourself.

Oh my gosh, if Wedgewood was an outfit. I want it.

Mindy Kaling said something similar in her book. She was all excited for a magazine shoot with beautiful dresses and when she arrived every single dress was a size zero except for some ugly sack thing that they fully expected her to meekly accept as her punishment for daring to think she could have nice things too.

I don't see a problem with them saying no and bringing attention to a huge company trying to get away with exploitative work practices. McDonalds gets away with it and suddenly it's 'industry standard' and no one gets paid for their work. Pointing out publiclly that these offers set a terrible precedent is not just…

And now World Vision is struck by off my donation list.

It's possible that the woman who abducted her just desperately wanted a baby and couldn't have one in which case she may have been very much wanted and loved.

You just know those parents would call everyone else perverts for seeing anything wrong with this.

I find it weird whenever magazines trumpet someone's new body. Like who did they steal it from? Is there a mad scientist in Hollywood grafting celebs into new bodies? Did they get it on sale somewhere? And then there's always the twist...it was the same body all along it's just shaped a tiny bit differently. It's…

He testified that he believed it to be morally wrong and against Judaism but that he did not know that it was illegal.

I should clarify that he was not personally accused of abuse, he was being asked why abuse was not reported once they found out it was happening. However he also said that there could be non sexual reasons why an adult teacher might lie down in bed with a student, such as to keep them warm.

Last week it was a Rabbi who when asked why sexual abuse at Yeshiva College was not reported to police testified that he didn't know that someone touching the genitals of a child was illegal because who knew what was against the law in a country where homosexuality is legal.

Really, things are that bad in the UK? I had no idea. I know de radicalisation programs have worked pretty well round these parts, but the way you describe it, it sounds like the scale of the problem is far worse in the UK. Australian society certainly hasn't broken down that badly and we have no shortage of Muslims.…

There are de radicalisation programs particularly within Muslim communities that do actually work. Political beliefs and feelings of isolation aren't things that you're born with and being a teenager burning with outrage at everybody else's seeming insensibility to the injustices of the world is something people…

There is something so wonderful about the idea of doing a chocolate tour in formal wear. It really warms your cockles doesn't it?

Because in these stories sending back the exact same dish often seems to work, I guess. Four times is a lot though.

Salad it is!

I had a salted caramel choc top at the movies a couple of weeks back. I don't remember what the movie was, but the choc top was so good. Coffee and Grand Marnier flavours are both crazy delicious too.

If teenage pregnancy won't scare kids off having sex then maybe getting cervical cancer when you're an old (over 21) sure won't. Besides the virus doesn't understand marriage. Unless your partner is a virgin too there is a pretty high likelihood that they've been exposed to HPV.
