That, and a stirring St Crispen's Day speech!

I saw a deer like that once; it was sad.

"Fuck off" and "I defy you" aren't mutually exclusive…

Exactly — I enjoy watching that much more than I enjoy watching her singing. (I'm glad I don't have to actually *know* her, though.)

I think I'm starting to appreciate Taylor Swift in a non-ironic way. The video of her watching Miley Cyrus is glorious:

That makes me feel slightly less horrified about the prospect of possibly having a Californian kid. I still think it'd be far better for me to have a London little 'un (and that absolutely terrifies me as it is).

Yeah, I'm terrified, too. I want kids quite soon, but right now we can't even afford to move out of my parents' house. It's making me really sad.

No, it's not bad at all. Some people insist that it is (although I've never met any; I only encountered them on this site) but it isn't. (I had to have a "destination" wedding because my bloke and I lived on different continents; it was excellent.)

I absolutely see the problem, but there's also the issue of Bradley Manning being a well-known figure and Chelsea Manning, today at least, being relatively unknown — if I'd seen this headline about Chelsea Manning, I would've assumed it was some US celebrity I'd never heard of and ignore the story. Fitting both into…

It's tricky though, isn't it? The headline using Chelsea's former name is totally clear to me, while if I saw "Chelsea Manning" in a headline I would assume it was some celebrity I'd never heard of and ignore the story.

As far as social norms go, he might end up with a non-USian, who doesn't find it normal, just like my US husband did!

Do you find there are differences in the degree of different types of sexism? I'm English but lived in the US for years, and I found there were so many… for instance, I rarely got/get harassed in the UK but got abuse almost every day in the US, but I totally agree with you about the underlying attitude of people — it…

Ginuwine's real name is Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, which is glorious.

PHARRELL IS 40?!!!!

She's a she, so perhaps not!

Aaaaaaaah, you are brilliant! Yes!

Absolutely not true at all.

Yeah, there's definitely stuff that builds up and builds up. I have a new colleague who makes a throat-clearing noise every thirty seconds — once you hear it you can't unhear it, and it goes on all day, every day. The other new colleague can't type properly and just stabs the keyboard really aggressively all day,…

We have a temporary person who started on Monday who NEVER MAKES TEA but ALWAYS ACCEPTS TEA. (I almost never make tea but I almost never accept tea, either.)

I really like everything I've ever had from them.
