But tonight, we'll be watching the first episode of the final season of Outrageous Fortune. Live. Not even on the DVR. We'll find something to do during the ad breaks.
And so will we, sit down in front of the television and watch it live, every Tuesday. Feels weird. I watched it on-demand once, because I missed the episode that was on the day after I had surgery.
I'm going to miss it, and I shall blub like an emo teen when it goes, but it seems inarguably the right decision.
(which goes to show I don't know much about women
I'm sure there are lots of women who'd take Van over Jethro. (Not literally.) Women who like caring, sensitive men. Nice guys, who'd do anything for you. I didn't nearly fall asleep just typing that or anything.

It would never become a collectors item to be flogged off on Trade Me.
I can't even remember what the original packaging looked like, honestly.
Thank you Emma, I like your analogy a lot.
I was thinking of this:
some people still subscribe to a commodity model of sexuality, where a woman’s precious internal chastity orb is depleted every time she ‘gives it up’ to a new guy. Men, on the other hand, rack up points by claiming these chastity bits when we discard them.

Couldn't help myself. Went back.
Ditto. From Lucia's cogent analysis:
Giving men sex without expecting any sort of commitment is training them to become predators.
See? Apparently sex is this thing I have, possibly in some kind of box. And I can give it to a man, but I have to be black-mailing him into marrying me when I do. Whereas if we were to take sex out of its box and play with it together because I wanted to, that would be encouraging rape.
Can't stop giggling. That's not even cogent enough to be wrong.

I say Party Central(e) should be at some persons Pt Chev pad.
Party at Russell Brown's Place! That's got a ring to it.

Or would I have seen it in the rural(ish) parts of the home counties -- along with green wellingtons and range rovers.
Yeah... I have a very fuzzy memory of my mother dressing as, basically, a Merivale Matron for a play, which must have been late eighties. A beige shirt with a stand-up collar, under a v-neck dark-coloured thin wool jumper, optional knotted pearls.
But it's a look I associate with the local squattocracy (well, alright, I mean Fiona Elworthy), and the bottom half of the outfit is well-cut moleskins and gumboots. An outfit suitable for the kind of farming that involves a range rover, and occasionally getting out and looking at animals.

Back when we were trying to put together the T&C for Bardic Web and looking at what other people were doing, we realised that the reason a number of sites would have the same very odd prohibitions was that they'd nicked their entire T&C from someone else's site.
I can't now find a way of expressing that I'm not implying that's what's happened here without it sounding like I'm implying that's what's happened here even more...

The way I look at it, life's like a game of rugby. And money's the way you keep score."
Is this a common mode of thought in Chch?
Yes.
as if Upper Hutt were Gomorrah or something.
But this is also how the Hutt is viewed in Wellington, yes?
Marjorie began, "Sarah, what's going on?" but then changed her question: "What on earth are you doing with that cigarette?"
Ohhhh. Seriously, you could have just accidentally run over your own mother and someone would say, "Are you smoking?!"
"That reminds me: did you ever buy that gas cooker, Dad?"
You're going to the Special Hell, Haywood, aren't you?
"Timothy and Kylinda are based in Timaru at the moment,"
Alright, yes, we have a steady supply of child-arsonists. Which are, I have to assume, not people who compulsively set fire to children.

in fact all the guays. God hates Guays.
Oo, flashback
a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Here is my latest tattoos.
Oh, Sofie, beautiful! I love that chameleon especially.
Jackie, you're amazing, you know that, right?

Explain it to that poor bastard in Azerbaijan.
There is really nothing I can do for anyone who can fail to find porn on the internet.
