Question: When are the tabloids going to move on from Ms Aniston's potential-bun-in-the-oven-frenzy and start body-shaming her for being a woman in her 40s who's getting a little slack around the midriff?

Ahem. The Queen loves public school. Eton is a 'public school'. Say that you think the royal spawn would be attending a public school and it would be nothing less than expected in the Old Dart. ;)

Here's an 'insider tip': I can guarantee you that no Brit — let alone a royal one — thinks that 'D is for diaper duty', nor that William will be even changing 'diapers'.

Oh BIG snort here. I reckon — despite the 15 years betwixt the release of Tampopo and Kitchen Confidential — Tony B imagines he inspired it. ;)

Well, aren't you a little ray of sleet. :/

It was just on quarter to eight in the am when I wrote that last post.

Yeah, well ... I got up at 5.20am, made some seriously strong coffee, chucked out some bird feed for the sparrows on the garden path, and read the papers for two hours. That's it. We're not all poetry-writing, exercise-taking, sunrise-watching freaks.;)

Tell us what you REALLY think, why don't you ... Gulp.

One of my favourite movies. Sigh. Never a wrong time for a Tampopo clip. Thanks!

Great read; ridiculous recipe. Seriously ridiculous.

And wattle — that's the yellow one on the base of the skirt — for Australia. Joy.

Ha ha! So true.

The whole 'you guys got COKE here?!?!?' didn't tip you off?

Ha ha! It's amazing the lines you 'keep' for future use.

*Muses* I was totally not in the target audience when this came out — too old! — but I still say 'I'm audi' when I depart a group get-together.

Because you're not Snow White.

*Confesses* That only happens after I drink a shedload of red wine.

My dogs snore. Cute as. But better than that?

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi ... oh, you know the rest.

I think that's why the Big Bang created arms. ;)
