Speaking as a veteran of six root canals, I concur with your assessment.

I do the same with mine, which is #5 in a series.  I am very hard on my teeth.

I was at a friend’s house on Saturday night and she pulled out a bunch of old mixtapes from the 1980s, some of which I had made for her. One tape alone contained “Louis Quatorze” by Bow Wow Wow, “There’s A Whip in My Valise” by Adam Ant, and “Venus in Furs” by the Velvet Underground.  Clearly we were a kinky lot back…

Ranking Roger! My heart is broken. I saw him play only a few years ago (ok, maybe more than a few, I am an old) in Toronto.  He was only two years older than me.

My personal favourite was the one who asked - as who among us has not asked at some point - “Did it have to be Adam Levine?”

YOU MET JESSICA MITFORD ZOMG

I am a shameless Mitford junkie. I have read all the books by all the sisters and all the books about the sisters, including a very trashy one called Unity Mitford: A Quest. They never fail to astonish, horrify, and delight. Though I believe Debo (later the Duchess of Devonshire) is my favourite, I can’t help but…

My great-grandmother would never let me play on the playground equipment or drink from the park water fountain, because that’s how you got polio. She remembered her friends’ children in iron lungs.

i would totally buy that hat.

I had an English teacher who insisted that the plot of every known romance novel was lifted directly from Jane Eyre, because we all want Mr Rochester. Go figure.

Canadian designer Izzy Camilleri specializes in adaptive clothing.

I await this novel-length post!

I can’t take credit for this one, but I have a friend who used to tell random dudes that she had been a Solid Gold dancer, only her career had ended prematurely due to a traumatic knee injury. She was so good at this story that the guys always claimed to remember seeing her on the show and even which guy she danced…

You beat me to it, and I congratulate you for doing so.

I fear I will have to disillusion you, but imagine how different the course of history would have been if that had been Charles Darwin.

This makes me like you very much, CorporalTrim, as I too am a stickler for realism. I wish we could meet at an eighteenth-century chophouse(there must be at least one or two left in London???) to drink a bumper to the way of the world and all that.

I highly recommend the book, for pruning and other activities.

I thought I was the only one!

Thank you! *blushes becomingly*
