Maybe the media should only send female reporters to these press conferences and let the fun ensue.

I think The Windsors on Netflix is close to a fictionalized Real Housewives. It also has some shades of Dynasty in the Camilla character riffing on Alexis Carrington.  Anyway, it’s a great show for a good laugh.

Okay, 1981. My father had a friend who was a retired former captain of the Scottish soccer team. He was washed up, running a small inn in a part of Scotland that is way off the tourist track. Bad knees, somewhat alcoholic. I was in high school at the time.

Predicting a baby boom in about 9 months....

To keep with the theme of pandemic, The Plague by Albert Camus.

You could get intimate with people you’re quarantined with.  What else is there to do for 14 days aside from streaming?

In Germany, it is incredibly rude to be any earlier than 5 minutes before the stated time or to arrive more than 5 minutes later.  So if the dinner is at 8, you have a 10 minute window between 7:55 and 8:05.

Beards are fine when they’re well groomed, but when they look like long pubic hair - no.

This story is coming out now because he’s got a new movie that needs promoting.  I’d be more interested and impressed if he’d said this 6 months ago - or never.

And Andrew has been linked to another (alleged) pedophile.

I guess the Powers That Be that control what is seen on screen are scared that if women saw a commercial like this, showing postpartum reality, there would be a lot fewer babies.

You would think that Catholic schools would make the skirt length touching the ankles - but no.

That Kushner guy always looks as if he has a broomstick shoved way up his butt.

Although this show has been incredibly successful, an article deserves to written about the first few seasons of the show. Those kids were pretty much paid minimum wage as the producers didn’t or wouldn’t sign a contract with ACTRA. I knew an editor who worked on the show. They didn’t even sign a contract with the DGC…

Not to hustle along The Queen’s eventual demise, but wouldn’t it be great if King Charles turns on him and hands him over?

Prince Charles wanted to join the Labour Party when he was at university, but the master of his college (a Conservative) warned him not to do it.

A fun haggis story. I was visiting Scotland in January and a Glasgow friend asked me to her Burns supper. The haggis wasn’t wrapped in the proper stomach, but a plastic casing. Her boyfriend, decked out in all his Scottish finery - frilled shirt, jacket, kilt - did the address to the haggis. When he plunged the knife…

If The Brady Bunch had been made 20 years later, it probably would have been like this.  I’m sure there’s some fan fiction out there that covers it.  (Nope, don’t wanna read it, thanks.)

I vote for this:

In Canada, since 2004, donors haven’t been allowed to be paid for their sperm/eggs. Of course there was a huge drop off of available donations after that and as of 2015, there were only about 55 Canadian sperm donors, most if not all in the Toronto area.
