I met her many many Summers ago, when she was backpacking with a friend (Janet?) in Hungary. She was just Cate then and not a worldwide famous actress. Together with a friend who now lives in the US, she’s the only person from those few days in 1988 in Budapest about whom I know what happened afterwards. Many years…

I had a couple of Gols back in the 1980s. The first one was a white BX that was fraught with issues. Later on I had a metallic green one (LX?) for several years. Those were the days.

What I don’t get is this: the form clearly states that the baby is three months old. I’d assume they’d call one of the baby’s parents or guardians and not the baby itself. Go figure...

I’m relieved to know that these are brand new condoms. Right? RIGHT?

This is something that deserves the age-old adage: “I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.”

I’ll never ever understand people who wear shoes inside their houses. But putting your shoes on your bed, sofa, table, counter, etc. is simply gross. Aren’t people aware that they literally step on all sorts of shit while walking outside? Then they bring that shit inside their house and spread it all over the place...…

Well, I’d say being really desperate to take a shit may also do the trick. I’d never wanted to get home as fast as when I was having terrible terrible intestinal cramps. Boy, I crossed half the city in no time. The only time I was faster than that was when my son was a baby and had a convulsion. We went from home to…

Wish they had these POV cameras on F1, Indy, Le Mans, MotoGP, etc. It’s fantastic! I remember many years ago, they experimented with tiny cameras inside the helmet, but they never caught on.

Small edit: “... unless you’re a big corporation or ***have*** someone with really big pockets behind you.”

Looks Mr. Bean(ish) to me!

One of the key issues in F1 nowadays are costs and performance. Virtually all championships of the 21st Century were won by big car manufacturers (Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes) or big corporations (Red Bull). I don’t consider Brawn apart from this group because, it was basically Honda. All big companies with big…

When I saw the corn husks, first thing that sprang to mind was (sweet) PAMONHA, one of the best things in Brazilian cuisine.

All of that sounds very nice. I’m a freelancer myself and could theoretically do the same. However, I’ve got family and a son at school age, so this is a no go. My question, though, is this: how do you get work permits to work in so many different countries? I mean how are you allowed to work legally in such…

Amazon’s new price-matching policy really sucks. In the past, they used to do whatever they could to keep clients satisfied. It seems these days are gone. I purchased a Fire TV Stick less than a month ago and today price has dropped by US$10.00. I contacted amazon to request a US$10.00 credit. It shouldn’t be a big…

Dolores not Delores. My bad.

More and more I think of Bernie Ecclestone...

Has anyone made the connection between the corporation name (Delos) and the main character/host’s name, Delores? Also MIB could be a host carefully crafted to be like Bernard, probably designed by Ford to be a challenge to Ford himself.

Because they stop to look others working downstairs when they’re not supposed to. For instance, when one of the techies is decommissioning Clementine for the top brass, the other one stops right outside to watch it with Maeve. Also, I don’t understand how come they don’t have CCTVs everywhere inside the complex. This…

Thank you for sharing your grandfather’s story. In Brazil, there were also similar things. They weren’t closed camps per se, but families were forcibly moved to the countryside. Many lost everything. Communicating in Japanese was completely forbidden. I never asked my father who was ten when Brazil declared War…

“Legítimas, só Havaianas!”
Here are some Brazilian ads from the 1960s and 1970s:
