they gave us Frank Langella as Skeletor, all sins forgiven just for that.

BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

I'm so sorry to hear that, it's good that you have other family coming to help support you with things. This is never easy and as for oversharing, well it's your account, do what you feel is right for you.

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Screenshot of text from the interview:

You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?

I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.

[I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

oh I like the pink Hot Rod they did, it's what spurred me into doing this one. Could also try for a Marvel UK version which would be a lot more pink!

Thanks!

Cheers. It was fairly straightforward to do which was nice.

I knew the match would be decent, but hands down Cena's best in the retirement tour by quite a margin.

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

"We should all be angry that we had 14 years of Tory austerity. They shut our libraries, they shut our community centres. And then to say integration is a problem - how do you expect people to integrate if you've taken away their services?"

I demand a Scottish representative, would need to be a Unicorn given it's our national animal. Inside is Duncan Ferguson. He will leave no opponent standing.

Always important to note, if you want to donate to worthy causes The Salvation Army is not one of them and never has been.

so the cough's been a fixture of the head cold this week, but not much of an issue until I tried to go to bed last night. 2am to somewhere past 6am coughing fits of varying degrees kept me awake. No long lie though, for once Suki is absolutely blameless. The Asda delivery at 9am, I could have cried.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The message must be "No bailouts for billionaires." AI is not too big to fail. And should it fail, the richest men in the world should be held accountable and take responsibility for their failures.
