that is the most wonderful thing ever. Thank you.

I'm totally convinced that Jack Donaghy is in charge of NBC. And I live in Australia, I can't even watch NBC.

I absolutely agree with us when the trying is an attempt to shut down a legitimate discourse, but that's not what this is. It's another attempt to shame women and demean the legal and legitimate decisions they make. There's no discussion, not even an attempt to engage. It's purely a stunt to make people feel bad and…

bravo!

mmmmmmmm baconnnnnnn

my mother did that to me once when I was about 6. I left for school in the morning and everything was totally normal, but when she came to pick me up in the afternoon there was this strange woman in my mum's car, calling my name, with frizzy late 70s style hair. Thirty five years later I still get stomach knots…

I want to go to there.

I don't understand! PHOTOS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

I'm Australian, so literally drowning in coverage of this, and I've heard no other report that he is or was a US citizen. No link to the US has been mentioned (from what I've seen) at all.

it's all about the froth! We want our coffee but not the froth.

you know, whipped or thickened cream (which often has gelatin in it, but not always). See, it seems weird to put that in coffee. I had to turn to urban dictionary for basic bitch, THIS is my fave: "A bitch with a pH value greater than 7." Oh yeah.

I know that already!

well, that right there people, is some serious cultural differences. And they say American culture is taking over everything. Harrumph to them. So thank you for clearing up twenty years of confusion. As one of the lactose-intolerant I do find the notion of thickened cream or, DOG FORBID, butter! in coffee fills me…

Ok I'm Australian and here's my chance to finally get to the bottom of this cream-in-coffee business. What the hell are you talking about? Do you mean like cream you'd put on apple pie? Cos that's just gross. Really. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. And it's bugged me for years.

I'm inclined to agree with you and they have always been upfront that they do mine for data. I use my gmail for shopping and signing up for things these days, so while providing shitloads of data on my online shopping and the political and arts newsletters I like to read, all my personal stuff goes through an ISP…

Australian analysis of the situation:

thanks! My dad's been at me to read him for years but I just assumed dry, boring. I will pick it up.

JEEZUS CHRIST. I had no idea that was even possible.

are you kidding, that was the exact quality of joke this story demands.

Please go ahead! It'll just add to my joy.
