One of the conspicuous cases of food price inflation in this country has been for the price of lettuce to rocket*. This thread quote tweets a tweet from the Queensland police, and the comments are worth a read. The one about the police having to 'seize her salad' in a favourite of mine. https://twitter.com/ItsBouquet/status/1536236228131323905?s=20&t=QnQGTLcHmtE5Lcx5HDbdxQ *what Americans call arugula is called rocket here.

Moderator's Note It is probably about time to circle back to the topic of the thread and away from the constitutional issues beyond the succession that surround the monarchy (and comparisons with other systems). We'll take action as appropriate with posts that stray too far into the political realm.

You're making quite the art-form today of misunderstanding everything to do with the subject.

Bon anniversaire.

Bon anniversaire!!!

This is incredibly sad news, for her friends and family of course, but also for those of us here who followed her posts. Vale, you Salty Broad.

So, our own Jubilee to mark that other one.

Series would be fine, parallel not so much!

Stop laughing, it's a picture of two hands, a wash basin and a tap*. * Perhaps some of you may say 'faucet'.

Happy Saturday afternoon (AEDT), and it's 452 to to with one hour left on Friday (EDT)!

My previous car (current one is diesel) 'required' premium. Had knocking issues on hills and sometimes under acceleration with regular, and fuel economy was better with premium. Both were Citroëns.

According to his website, yes.

That's as may be, is it enough reason to fly with them?

I saw him in San Jose when I was visiting SF, one hour each way on CalTrain was pretty easy, and at the time he was close to the station.

I'm not sure that posters uniformly recognised the double entendre in this question.

That may be helpful for you to rationalise some [imo unwarranted] guilt but I don't think it's fair to 'blame' the wives. You can't know what prompted the men to have relationships with you much less that it was something lacking in their marriages that the wives were capable of redressing. Unless of course the men told you directly. Your regrets are entirely understandable but I don't think there is anything you need to take the blame for, or for you to find anyone else who should.

Agree with other posters, I spent a very pleasant few hours wandering around the museum last time I was in Palm Springs.

A saucer of cream for the table in the corner.

My understanding is that the last case of smallpox in the wild was in 1977, and that the WHO determined that it had been eradicated by 1980. The virus still exists in labs. (Polio, on the other hand, exists only in a couple of places on the planet, but has been eliminated in the developed world.)

Moderator's Note Please stop personalising the discussion, and attack the issues not other posters. This is about what the current state of the Covid pandemic is, and that can include differing assessments of what the data mean. If you challenge what someone else has concluded, do that without challenging their professional competency or intellectual capacity to draw their conclusion.

No argument from me!

IIRC lead-up tournaments like Queen's have not been stripped. I smell a stunt in the decision to apply the rule selectively to Wimbledon and not others.

My only exposure has been to the US version and I enjoyed it. I agree that a new idea would be better. QAF was yet another example of the US entertainment industry's belief that foreign film and television doesn't work in the US. This may be true, but it may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. So remaking someone else's narrative or an old one is what the US industry often does. There can still be good reasons for doing it. For example the political and cultural environment in which the gay community lives has changed, as have the prominence of 'other' strands of the LGBTIQ+ experience. If the propose of the remake is to include these things in the new version that's reasonable, if it's just to do it again it's not. What can loosely be called 'remakes' of Romeo and Juliet have been going for a little while now, usually under a different name and nobody complains about that. There has been a debate in these forums about a cinematic remake of one of them that has attracted more heat than its earlier version would have for appropriating the original story. Of course QAF is not a single story the way R&J is, so its new version relies on name recognition not a compelling story.
