I'd love to blow Fox's collective mind by telling then that certain parts of Europe often have unisex bathrooms (NOT single stall ones) and even that is N(o)BFD. Everyone walks in the same room. There are urinals along one wall for those who prefer and (floor-to-ceiling) stalls along another. People use what they …

Yup. They do call it incest (at least amongst themselves). Though clearly it's not forbidden since the mentioned couple are married with a child.

It's not an "American" thing, dude. I have married into a British/Irish family, in which two of the cousins (in my generation) are married. And the whole, huge family is weirded out. Luckily, they are the lovliest of families and everyone just keeps their awkwardness to to private conversations instead of *openly*…

Well Dawn and her cousin would have said y'all are doing it wrong.

Tim O is the man! I probably should have waited to tell me husband that until after Justifed finishes. [*smirk*]

I get a kick out of my husband's celeb crush: Courtney Cox. Why? Not only because it was a total surprise to me, but because he in fact always sounds disappointed when we see her in something because he's like, "it's her but it's not her anymore. She went and got all plasticy and ruined everything. Now who am I…

The partner of my bestie is a two starred chef. I get to eat like this for free regularly. I just wanted to broadcast my dumb luck in friends with glee because it is the best dumb luck I'll ever have, to be sure...and probably I am an ass with nothing more substantive to contribute? Anyway, I've told my friend that if…

Hi JohnCarmac, I honestly appreciate your reply and I will think on it. But as it stands, I think you and I just don't connect in how we debate because the flow of your conversation doesn't make sense to me. (i.e. When you were talking about how it's the same for men, and I disagreed with your example, you kindly…

Well there you have a couple of better examples than anyone has given me elsewhere. I don't have time for a good debate just now but you serve up a good point to think over!

You've compared one specific male character that you might personally "prefer" be depicted as younger just cause...to females, as a whole, regularly being cast against what is ***humanly possible age-wise***. Try again.

Maybe for some, but the health concerns are (also) a real thing!!

Mmm. Pretty sure you miss the point (that the rules aren't the same for male and female actors).

add it alongside "Don't Benzinger me!" (From: the rainbow cake comment meltdown article)

I just went to the V&A one. (It's very good. PS Gwen Stefani's dress is even more fabulous than I knew.) My host was a friend of the woman who curated it. There are so many interesting tidbits he could share (himself being an art historian specialising in 17th century clothing). Like, (e.g.) the fact that all of these…

Haha. Well I wouldn't off the top of my head know how to do the private contact thing. There must be a way though and we will figure it out! (I sent Kinja a help request. We'll see what they say.)

Well if you want, Ansia, get in touch with me privately to discuss sometime. While I am no longer working in Euro higher education and some of the info details have surely changed, I might have some info/ideas that could help out, or at least know some people you could talk to. (I worked a lot on the European…

I studied in France, then later, Belgium. I did some work on the general European higher education arena in the Netherlands after. Oxford had the same system (according to hubs). Belgium was the most dedicated to the single *oral* exam system, but I saw the single end-of-term test some everywhere I went.
