I remember using a tumble-dryer for the first time after I went to college (no tumble-dryer at home) and being so confused by the Permanent Press setting. How could a drum that spins around press your clothes? Why was it permanent? If I didn’t know what it was going to do I certainly wasn’t going to commit myself to…

I once watched my birth control pill fall onto the counter, evade my desperately scrabbling hands, and roll into the toilet. I cried, and then I put the lid down.

I have been trying to get my partner to do this ever since we moved in together. Lid down should be default setting- that’s why it’s bloody there!

Reminds me of being in college and my slimmer friends saying things like “But you’re not FAT fat, you just have enormous boobs!”

Particularly inexplicable given that this is just one in a line of sandwich-based political events in the UK.

Oh my god I’ve never seen this before. Fuck you Cameron, you wanker.

Yeah, I’m from the UK and no-one would notice or care if you ate pizza with a knife and fork. This propensity for jamming your food into your mouth as fast as possible seems to be a very American thing.

I have been told it’s perfectly acceptable (encouraged, even) to eat a pork chop with your hands as you are better able to get the meat off the bone that way and not waste it. Also, that looks like an Iowa chop (assuming these were taken at the state fair) and those feckers ain’t dainty eatins.

My husband is always making fun of me eating pizza with a knife and fork, because “You’re in America now, dammit!” But then I get to make fun of his people (Iowans) eating everything off a stick, because who actually wants to enjoy their food, right?

It’s not just that he’s entertaining. To be honest, I am not that surprised at Trump’s success. When he first announced I had friends telling me he was just a sideshow, that people would get bored and he’d burn out after three months.

So I’m torn, because on the one hand that is a pretty sweet little box and if he’s just sleeping and chilling a few hours a day in there that seems totally workable.

Yes, it was utterly ridiculous and totally believable.

How was this pairing any more ridiculous than so many other celebrity couple pairings? I guess that’s what made it a good joke. It was ridiculous but not at all unbelievable.

I mean, I feel like that’s been his whole thing for a long time, though.

God I love that movie.

Yeah, this seems less to do with his age or looks and more to do with his persona. Steve Buscemi is the same age as Jon Lovitz, is hardly conventionally handsome, and seems far more charming.

I mean, I feel like we’d need to establish some ground-rules for sure. Do I have to kiss him? Have a conversation with him? Laugh at his jokes? Will I be expected to stay over? Because 8 minutes (erring on the side of generosity) of silent missionary with no foreplay is a very different prospect than a whole seduction…

No. And I’ve been attracted enough to sleep with some pretty odd coves.

God it’s awful. It’s like going to your friend’s improv class after months of being gently guilted about it. And then they’re just as awful and contrived as you’d feared.

Also, let’s be honest- do we really think the Hotel’s various owners did not have access to good lawyers? I’m pretty sure that if there had been a way to evict this woman that wouldn’t have dragged through the court system for years, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and have reflected terribly on the Hotel…
