As my dear friend commented when the first of Prince William’s babies was on its way: I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl as long as it’s a republican.

Yeah, I don’t agree with Brand on everything, but sometimes he is spot on.

Good

We should arrange a night (and day) out. Somewhere close to a hedge and a curry house but away from a dogs home...

Wow. Buckfast is a tonic wine made by monks in the UK. Made by Devonshire monks; drunk by Scottish drunks:

It’s pretty much a guarantee that you’ll wake up in a hedge about 16 hours after you’ve had a bottle.

I didn’t reply to this thread originally because I truly couldn’t remember, but then, reading thru these stories reminded me of a family holiday to Turkey when I was 10 or 11 years old and being aggressively hit on by so many waiters.
