Would you say Chamberlain, or Quisling? Perhaps time will tell.

I’m surprised to read that candy Girl was only a #46 hit in the USA - it was a #1 in the UK, it was played to death on the radio here that summer.

If you are resident in the US, yes you are. The only area not exclusively populated by immigrants and their descendants (as far as is currently known) is an area of eastern Africa. Almost all of us worldwide have antecedants who moved from one continent to another. Otherwise one has to define who is allowed to call…

+100 for you!

Joining in the ignorguration from the UK!

So you would reject the best person for the job just because of their gender or ethnicity? That’s not anything to like.

Me too. This modern separatist stuff is divisive bullshit.

You missed London off your list of shit. (London really needs to be on every list of shit.) The Games itself may have been a relative success, but all the promises made to the people of London and the rest of the country with regards to ‘lasting legacy’ and ‘permanent investment’ and ‘affordable homes’ turned out to…

Forgive my late reply, but the definition of apocalypse is not the end of all, merely a change or revelation. From Wikipedia we have:

Likewise: proper influenza once is enough. I tried to tough it out, but my neighbour was so worried she called a doctor. Of course there’s nothing they can give you other than sympathy...

The man is an insult to newt-kind. Newts are lovely. How dare this wanker sully their good name.

Blimey, Lincoln Christmas Market...risked it once, never again. Awful crush of humanity, and gluhwein that smells like petrol. But I miss Hull. Used to live there about twenty years ago and have fond memories.

Wish fulfillment...that’s the one. I’m short and busty, so my characters had a tendency to be tall, slender to athletic, dark-skinned if it was in keeping and rather androgynous. And as a teenager the D&D/Games Workshop boob parade never bothered me, possibly because I had my own and knew what a blasted nuisance they…

Worse. Much, much worse...

Crochet is quicker to do but one of those hats would still take me a couple of hours (I’m a competent crocheter, but not super fast, to give you an idea). Also crochet uses a buttload more yarn for the same area and is much thicker. You probably are talking a very low dollar per hour rate :( All the handcraft skills…

Messy bun hats...as in the hats you make when you don’t have quite enough yarn to finish/don’t fancy doing those final rows of decreases on double-pointed needles because your circulars won’t reach round.

There is a wonderful song which I heard and managed to record from WFMU years ago; it’s called ‘Devil in my Egg Nog’ and is by The Maxitones. It’s the only Christmas-ish song I can tolerate more than once a year! I found the playlist from the show, which has lots of other...unusual...seasonal music and I recommend a…

Yup. A couple of years ago it was all “Ooh, we wish Jennifer Lawrence was our friend, we’d love to hang out with her,” etc., etc. Now she’s mega-successful it’s all “Look at that bitch, who does she think she is?” It’s envy, pure and simple, from the nasty types who love nothing better to snipe at someone who is…

Did she have an Altmer character, by any chance? Art imitates life and all that...

If you really think that the economy
