Don’t forget a thunderbolt suit.

Snort-laughing so hard. I hope she gets hit by an automobile while riding that $900 velocipede.

It’s my birthday on Thursday, in case anyone was still trying to come up with gift ideas.

Glad to see this. I’m not Anglican/Episcopal myself, but my husband is, and it’s always burned my biscuits as they say here in the South that the Presiding Bishop of the US Episcopal Church (basically the top of the church hierarchy in the country), Katharine Jefforts, is not treated with the full dignity of her…

Hey again! I was there 1999-2004 (with a year off in the middle, I did double honours with art history and Italian so I took a year to work so I could then go to a language school in Italy for several months), so Will and Kate were a year or so below me. Kate was in one of my art history classes and was neither the…

I watched the first eight or so eps when my mom was visiting in March - she’s the one who got me into books so it was fun to watch together (except for the sex scenes, that’s still a little awkward). TM as a Frank is definitely eye candy.

Well, in that case I take back giving her the benefit of the doubt as a relatively short-termed VC! I haven’t been the most involved alumna so I wasn’t aware of all the Hall upgrades - only New Hall was out-of-term/”hotel” accommodation in my time (although having spent my first year in glorious old Smellville, a…

No! We only have a roku and my husband is not into it, so I've fallen sadly behind. I've read almost all the books multiple times so I really want to make time to watch this.

Yeah, didn’t Blair’s son go there? Not that he is massively posh but certainly not like the rest of us hoi-polloi ;)

That’s better than it was when I was at St Andrews (graduated 2004), and I believe she’s only been there for about five years.

Yeah, I wondered if that was the intent, but men competently holding pets and babies are kinda sexy, so I was confused!

A silver fox can be a lovely thing.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard “vehement" said out loud and live in constant fear that the way I say it in my head when I read it is wrong and I'll unavoidably have to say it some day.

Why did I have to read all the way down to find out which one to use (being another garbage human who didn’t know). I was on fucking tenterhooks here, Moore.

I moved to the south ten years ago after growing up in the northeast and going to university in the UK, and spent a lot of time confused about religious terminology here. In this part of the county, “Protestants” does refer to non-Catholics as it does elsewhere. Here, the most common “Protestants” are the…

I know what you mean (having studied a few languages with gendered nouns), “the man-gleanders and the woman gleaner” seems kinda redundant and weirdly sexist. But on the other hand, using just “les glaneurs” runs into that male-as-default thing you get in English with “man/mankind” used to refer to humanity in…

Reminds me of the French film The Gleaners & I/Les glaneurs et la glaneuse. I’m glad this woman is bringing at least some of her haul to food pantries.

I just checked and he’s not listed on current staff, so I’ll tell you it was David Jones and he was THE BEST. My thesis advisor on the other hand, who is still there, was The Wooooooorst.gif

Either we are actually friends IRL, or he almost fell off his bike a lot, because I remember this exact scene down to the finger wagging bodyguard. I started in ‘99 so I remember that sudden influx of princess wannabes too.
