  1. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer the idea of travelling to meet guys rather than flying them to me. Two or three days in New York or Toronto (or both) would give you the opportunity to meet two, three, or however many you choose, of these fine gentlemen. If you're expecting to pay a return fare across the pond, it may as well be your bum on the seat.
  2. Ouch! But well said, we can so easily lament someone's misfortune, not just their death, because they have some quality we admire.
  3. A man who was a minor councillor on the city council of the Gold Coast, a self-absorbed locality on the outskirts of Brisbane, who allegedly murdered his father, and I should care? Nah, not happening.
  4. I heard Simone Young talk about the performance a couple of days ago on ABC RN (on the Music Show, I think). I'm glad it lived up to her ambitions for it.
  5. Not a very good good likeness of Edith Piaf.
  6. Gary? Who cares about a little thing like a state border!
  7. *Plans Ottawa stopover on my next US trip*
  8. Gentlemen, I'm as guilty as anyone else of going down the rabbit warren of who Taylor Swift is rather than sticking to the point that @FreshFluff raised about her having set a trend on long nails, but we've pretty much done the issue to death now. Please keep to the topic of wearing nail polish from now on.
  9. No big deal, she was just here for seven concerts in 80K and 100K stadiums, and there was nothing else on TV (I exaggerate) for a couple of weeks. I'm surprised her attendance at the Superbowl to watch her boyfriend play didn't saturate everyone's consciousness in the US. And now back to our regular scheduled programming.
  10. To be pedantic AF, I wasn't quoting him I was reporting what was said, so I was writing the word as I would always write it. If I had wanted to make a point about how Ford recorded what he had said I could have written 'color' and followed it with (sic) to indicate the non-standard (to me) spelling. But now I'm being silly, and that would be my defence in court! Now, back to deposits.
  11. I had always understood that he said the word. If indeed he spelt the word, I am grateful for that additional snippet of information!
  12. I remember it being claimed, probably apocryphally, that Henry Ford said of the Model T that you could have any colour you want, as long as it's black. His factory, his choice. That's why to this day all Ford cars are black.
  13. A Meta joke about Alphabet?
