I have to say that I always expected that. The only thing is that if you look at nutrients all calories are not created equal. I can get a wrap that comes in at 500 calories but on the nutrients side of it a 500 calorie 'sandwich' from McDo won't have the same kinds of things in it. So sure, you are eating a high…

Fair enough. And to be honest I had been thinking about this a lot yesterday and realized that you are probably right - although it was never intended to be a 'thing' because generally speaking the English are amongst their own harshest critics and also are very, very thick skinned when it comes to what they say to…

Also - Happy New Year.

Oh give over. And eat some cement - you need to harden up.

I worked on a set with kids. I was the designer on a children's apparel industry mag. My team used the first non-white kids in its 25 + history. It drove me nuts trying to get people to do the black kids styling. They generally had small amounts of make up on but I will never understand why you would lighten the…

She is a ding dong. And also, toe lint has better taste in clothing.

More distressing is Madonna's face. Why the surgery Madge!? Why!?

And different. Let's compare apples to penguins shall we?

Porn is answer...conformity in that industry and the sheer number of vaginas boys and men can now access via internet sites means that suddenly people have an opinion. It is the same thing as "normalizing" the notion of what female beauty is in fashion magazines and in Hollywood. Next they'll put a calliper up your…

No education and obviously scant upbringing if you don't know that copying someone else's work is wrong. So yeah - keep apologizing you entitled little putz.

YES!
I like some gum balls periodically but they loose their flavour over time and I wouldn't put them on the menu at a 4 star restaurant...

You too, lady! ;)

Knowing that the show is about people sporting absurd facial hair, who work in a hunting-centric industry I gave it a miss. I know that it was profiling on my part but I called it. *sigh*

Yup. EXACTLY what I said to my dearest. Only less politely and more involving shooing whilst swearing and making broad gurning facial expressions of abject horror. It happened about 5 years ago - so likely the Weil's disease would have taken us both by now (going to look that one up though - so every time I get lock…

I wet myself when he crawled in but was like: should you get blood testing now? Isn't that where all those skanky artist heroine types live? I mean I liked Amy Winehouse n all but would have had to Dettol dip her too...just because she was friends with that Pete Doherty bloke...

Yes - we are appalled but drawn to the…

Yes...Shackleton...up the hill both ways and none of that stiff upper lip nonsense everyone is always banging on about. If you are part of the gentry and own either a title or ancestral pile that is ok for you - but for the rest of the country a bit of a whinge about the weather is the national sport (followed closely…

In completely unaccent-related comments. I have just managed to replicate the Pret a Manger Christmas Lunch sandwich. Feeling like a culinary god currently (also now that I have had two of them I can say that Christmas gluttony has truly set in and the gym will need to be hit hard tomorrow - like 800/900 calorie burn…

I agree - but being mild mannered and all, I didn't want to say. ;)

My favourite was watching Americans watch Cheryl Cole - like she is delish but wtf is she saying?

Cultural crossroads moment:
