Can someone clarify something for me? What do you mean when you say room-mates? I go to uni in England and my campus has floors containing four or five 'flats' (basically groups of six indivdual rooms sharing a kitchen). Floors and flats are all coed, but someone who lives with you is definitely a flat-mate. Does…

I'll have to check that out, thanks for the rec! :)
The more news I read from the US, the more convinced I am that about 50% of it could be successfully adapted into Coen Brothers movies. The US is to the world as Florida is to the US ;)
I wonder if there is a ceremonial chain-breaking ceremony on the front porch, where the trusty sobs out his thanks and praises the Lord, while Barbour allows a single manly tear to run down his benevolent old cheek.
"Each was serving a life sentence and working as a "trustie" at the governor's mansion. In return for good behavior, trusties are allowed to work and live in the mansion.
After a career peppered with psychopaths and thugs, Gary Oldman is becoming positively genial and avuncular these days. Gives me the warm fuzzies.
Although I don't necessarily disagree with you (I havent't got a strong opinion either way, I've never smoked pot and I don't hang around with people who do - not really a moral thing, just always found them extremly boring and self-absorbed), this point, from a Cracked article of all places, has seriously undermined…
How the hell this could ever have got far enough to acutally be published is beyond comprehension - nice apology, but I fail to believe that no-one from the company was ever shown the image before publication. Oh yeah, I get it - you can burn your calories like the Nazis burnt millions of innocent people. This…
I'm just watching the Diane Sawyer interview in full for the first time and it's far less mawkish and far more interesting than I expected. Giffords is indeed exceptionally courageous, but what really got me choked up was the inexhaustible enthusiasm, talent and humour of her therapists. Seeing them not only help but…
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Lily Allen is obviously a Downton Abbey fan. Or a fan of my great-grandmother, but I feel the former is more likely.
It's going to be very hard to achieve. We are so locked in this cultural perception of other women as competition. I was reading the other day that this may even be linked to prehistoric biology and women's need for a protector, causing her to look upon potential threats to that protection with aggression. What my…
I cannot resist hearting this, you've hit it right on the head.
How hard is it to get a prescription for that? My doctor once gave me beta blockers, which didn't have a noticeable effect.
I especially like the expression on the other model's face like "Girrrrl, where'd your leg go?"
Yeah, this dude seems pretty guilty, not that it's my place to say. And yeah, I guess without a Matlock-ish stroke of eccentric genius, you could never conclusively disprove your accuser. But say they were mentally unstable or had a history of flase accusations, that sort of thing might be publicly confirmed in a…
This is unfair for the accused as well as the accuser. Surely if an allegation can't be brought to court, the accused never has a chance to clear their name? I'm not specifically talking about this case, but in general it would be horrid for someone who might be falsely accused (might not be common, but it happens) to…
...A simpler time.
I wish I could heart you again. To think, I haven't read that book in years, and yet every word was still so familiar! I must have read it twenty times at least between the ages of 8 and 12. Nothing beats that unique cadence and warmth of those 19th century children's novels.
