Snap! I saw him in Thor and thought he was alright - I liked Loki, but didn’t get the fuss. Watched Hollow Crown and was like ‘OH, that’s why everyone on tumblr is obsessed with him’! I do have a weakness for an attractive man being excellent at Shakespeare though!

I've been in the greys all day - is it not enough that my country just shot itself in the foot, I'm getting extra punishment too?!

That is correct. I was just responding to the ‘how do you think your vote doesn’t count’ comment. Nine time out of ten your individual vote doesn’t count. It’s so ingrained that the BBC were continually reporting on percentages last night, when it was actual numbers of voters that counted for a change. It’s such a big…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m FURIOUS at this result and people like him who didn’t bother to find out how a referendum works thereby selling us all down the river, but in a regular General Election it is entirely possible that your vote won’t count due to our First Past the Post system.

The leave campaign as far as I can make out consists entirely of hatred and lies. I agree they are deliberately confusing refugees and immigrants, and the thing that winds me up is deliberately being obtuse about the issue of free movement. If we do leave (fingers crossed we don’t) there is no reason to believe that a…

Jesus. I despair at people, I really do. If only the dangers of fascism were still in living memory. Oh.

It’s local for me too (I’m in Leeds). Completely shocking and heartbreaking.

How does a person go about getting out of the greys on here?! I only post sporadically but I'm a long time lurker!

I remember a piece on John Oliver last year about how American police forces have been buying up surplus army equipment to the point that some of them are better equipped than the actual military, which is just mind boggling.

I feel like all of the countries with successful gun control should form a coalition and campaign on the issue in the NRA heartland. They won’t use weapons but the British delegate can say ‘sorry’ in such a way that it implies ‘curl up and die you useless piece of crap’!

Fellow non-American here, I’m equally baffled but I just assume the answer essentially boils down to some version of ‘because money’.

It’s exactly the same here in England. In fact even police with guns make me feel less safe - after the Paris attacks there has been an increased presence of armed police in city centres. I saw one in a shopping centre here in Leeds a couple of months ago and it was a deeply disturbing sight.

I've always loved Purple Rose of Cairo too, but it is definitely the least Woody Allen of his films! I think I'd feel too disgusted to rewatch it these days though.

This seems like a good place to point out that Americans have been wrongly saying “I could care less” for as long as I can remember! It’s “I could NOT care less”, as in “I have zero fucks to give. It is not possible for me to care about you/your problem any less than I already do.” I’m always baffled why an admission…

I seem to be in the minority on here as a woman who really didn't like JJ. I liked the concept, but it was such a chore to get through for me - I started watching when it was released and only finished it last month. I wonder if part of that is that I've never been a fan of David Tenant? I found his acting cartoonish…

We’ve just had that episode in the UK and I was disgusted by his reaction and Kara’s later “I did that to him” comments. Glad to know it will be rectified!

Hah, I do like a good pun! ;) Yeah, when I first commented like a few others I had assumed you were a man. I feel like a front approach would be trickier, but I’m too set in my ways to try another way now anyway!

I had a single mum! It’s much easier to reach around to do it. It really doesn’t require that much flexibility! My short arms definitely would not be able to reach the back properly to do front-to-back if I came at it from between my legs.

This lady goes around the back! Wiping front-to-back is more hygienic. Well, I read that in a magazine years and years ago, and I’ve taken it to be gospel ever since! It makes sense though - wiping back-to-front does seem like it would introduce more germs to delicate parts!

I agree with you. On all counts!
