And an old rotary phone will work if you have a long power failure.

If you buy a new car you’ll be out, say, $40K and the vehicle depreciates as you drive it off the lot. If you buy used you’ll be out, say, $20K as you drive it off the lot and there will probably be repairs and maintenance to pay for if you don’t have a warranty. I’d rather lease and take most of my $40K or $20K and…

Perhaps White Stripes wasn’t really music after all and was performance art instead? You could say the same thing about Christi Haydon when she was with Sparks. Her drumming may not have been up there, but she sure fit in with what Sparks was going for at the time.

And 10 years after having my son, I finally realized why the celebrities were “too posh to push” and had cesareans. Natural childbirth is hell on the bladder control.

Do all the extra (probably unpaid) work that you want. I worked for a company in the 1990s early in my career in television production. Worked insane hours for no overtime, only a free dinner and a taxi home if I worked past 9 pm. I thought it would help to move me up the ladder. I stupidly did this for three years.…

Reminds me of a charity book sale I was at. A book dealer found a first edition of some Leonard Cohen poetry and snapped it up for about 10 bucks. Immediately got on the phone to a collector and sold it for over $400. That’s fine, but since it was a charity sale, the dealer should have kicked back a little something…

Well, his initials are DJ Trump.  Seems like destiny to me.

I like Sam Smith. Could someone please educate me as to what is the fine line between fat shaming and genuine concern for a person’s health? My fear is Smith may end up going full George Michael someday.

And their legal team is their relatives Cockroachs, Bedbugs & Lice.

As an actor, yes, he shouldn’t be painted as the perpetrator.  He was handed a gun that he was told was unloaded.  However, his name was on the production as a producer so he was supposed to have some responsibility over that set.

Reading your summary, it makes you realize how much money there is to be made from the schools by security companies.

I think the characterization of Harry as a moronic lager lout on the comedy show The Windsors is more truth than fiction.

Before I had kids, I didn’t understand why the “too posh to push” women preferred to have a C-section instead of a vaginal birth. There was a longer recovery, possible complications, a scar.... Fast forward - it’s because they didn’t want to be incontinent later.

Yes, but Granny must have left him a little something.

Perhaps you should read Richard III.

And late lamented Granny probably tossed him another chunk of cash.

It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall at Harry’s publishers when they were told they had to delay his book from the Xmas season to January.

Being Canadian, whenever there is a US election, it’s like the concern one has when the house next door is for sale.  What will the new neighbours be like?

It’s also an effective ad for football brain injuries.

The AFI with their Lifetime Achievement award has gone the same way as BAFTA. About 20 years ago, the AFI stopped giving the award to people who had had a lifetime to achieve something - Bette Davis, David Lean, Barbara Stanwyck. Instead, they switched to people like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep because they were scared…
