@Zulkey: A blog, a blog! pleeease?

Slut and slattern are kind of the same thing, aren't they?

@Brahbrah: My little brother used to do that, too! Just after he learned to walk, and mostly to my father (mum was too smart/fast).

@hitchcockblonde: (edited)

@ceejaymac: do you have to feel empowered just to use the fucking word in it's intended meaning? what a stupidly insipid fucking comment.

My edition of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is called Ten Little Niggers. Which was later released with the revised title of Indians.

I know how to lose 3.5kg in a week; just don't eat. Sure, you risk hospitalisation and potentially death, but you were never Jennifer Aniston to begin with.

@NrthnLights: That's the clincher. That he was so thorough really breaks my heart.

Jesus, McQueen wasn't taking any chances

Well it's certainly very... blokey...

@CatGaffney: Once, when using the bathroom between classes, I saw a girl wearing a wide belt around her waist but also wearing a regular belt lower down, around her jeans.

@CatGaffney: All that polyester and slouchy boots!

@lodown: I know. And it's irksome.

@RenoMartini: ooor Gone With the Wind?

God she's so contrived.

@zayante: I was... seven? eight? I just remember being really confused about the dates on the competition pages; before I knew that Americans reversed the dd/mm, I really did think they had 30 months to a year.

The more important question should be what kind of private school uses mistral font on their name plaque? They charge such exorbitant fees, then print the sign out on Microsoft Word?!

@zayante: Do you remember the competition at the back of the books, to name the new twin characters?

@Eralc Alegna: The piece about the radioactive loo being an attraction (and potentially causing ass cancer to everyone that used it) was one of my favourite sections of that book. My personal favourite is Mother Tongue (nicked from my father's library, of course), but I appreciate everything he's written for his…

@amazoncowgirl: Ngaio Marsh... was a kiwi! And sadly I haven't read much of her, although my father's always on at me to. And apparently Ten Little Indians is what they renamed it, before apparently settling on And Then There Were None (a very cute man in a second hand bookstore told me this once).
