This reminds me of the film Margaret, where Anna Pacquin's Lisa has a big grandiose speech about how a dying woman mistook her for her daughter since they had the same name, and someone rebukes her strongly for making it 'all about her and her drama'. Her heart's in the right place, but she's not quite articulating it…

Franco was in the wrong country. Had he been on her home turf (Scotland) the age of consent is 16!

Christ, if someone with an utterly amazing figure (there are pics in the article about what she wore the night before, she's still in great shape) looks terrible in that, what are the hopes for the rest of us?

'Murica, I'd like to introduce you to Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, where coats are optional for the local Geordies even when it's snowing.

I started watching HIMYM in something like Season 5 after my sister raved about it. I was like "who's this annoying sad sack Ted?" Then I went and watched the early episodes and realised he'd been awesome at the start. It seriously lost its way.

"he's a good sport" could sum up his career (in a good way). Was a loveable dufus, then prepared to scare the hell out of people as Walt.

Random tangent, but does anyone else put out what they're going to wear for work the night before? Between the rushing out the door first thing and trying to make sure I haven't worn the same combination of clothes too recently, it's the only way I can manage!

How about it just being a reverse Angels in America: a student thinks they're going to Abu Dhabi, then ends up somewhere far more suburban?

Right, if I'm in one of those dressing rooms I'm taking something just to cover the iPad. It's bad enough wondering what happens to those nudie scanner pics!

Most shops I know of deliberately have a no underwear off when trying swimwear policy!

Yeah, her boobs always look like they're about to take off, and the rest always looks matronly. You compare how she looks in Mad Men or even other films (she looks contemporary and svelte in I Don't Know How She Does It).

What is this, Game of Thrones?!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is more well-endowed than aroused.

2 years if you're under 31 (then it's back to whence you came) for Kiwis or Aussies in the UK/EU thanks to the Commonwealth scheme, otherwise you might as well be from anywhere.

OK true, but still at least you can start. As someone with a Kiwi passport, there is exactly *one* other country in the world I can work without a visa: Australia. (Actually, it does require a visa but it's one you automatically get at the airport). OK, it's probably worse for Australia: the only country they can work…

I live in the UK and am so confused at the people who can't cook. We got taught cooking as a class along with woodwork and art! And I got taught at home. I can't always be bothered cooking, but certainly can do it given the inclination.

Two I'd add:

Can I just say I hope a rising tide raises all boats? At least if the word feminism gets distanced from the horrible feminazi trope that we usually get, I think it's a good way to get discussions going. Hell, the last time we had out and out feminism front and centre was back in the 90s:

Is it just me or is it really easy to get She's All That and Can't Hardly Wait mixed up? I keep getting excited that I get to talk about it, and then it's all like:

Anyone reminded of the ad at the start of Tropic Thunder?
(er, language slightly NSFW for those who haven't seen the film before)
