  1. "Coffee at 10, Elizabeth!" Or anytime now, I guess.
  2. I think she was great. But to me, her biggest success was living 91 years without having her face ripped off by one of those chimps. They're incredibly dangerous in certain circumstances.
  3. He'll end up wherever he ends up. Nobody is beyond redemption, but he's a predator and even as a senior citizen he could still be a predator. I hope the various programs work for him, but my primary concern is how his victims will move on after his abuse. I still think a 19 year sentence is not enough for the nature of the crime.
  4. Nowhere near long enough.
  5. From that height you can't see the waters below to know if they are troubled or not.
  6. It was just a joke! I know your maps also included Cuba and the USSR. (That was another joke) All of the Americans I know are neither arrogant, nor ignorant. But it seems that some in this forum are quite easily offended.... 🤷‍♂️
  7. Most of us Canadians know where Shenzhen is. We grew up in schools with maps that included other countries besides our own LOL
  8. Don't you mean, "You've got male!"
  9. I wonder if he massages your Prime Meridian?
  10. Did you pull that one out of the vault?
  11. I thought this was a thread about orientation-specific reflector vests to keep you safe when walking at night.
  12. I think it's cool, not at all freaky. lol
  13. I have a feeling you want him all to yourself... lol
  14. That might be reasonable for the Wagyu, even though a third of that weight could be the bone. I've paid $150 for an 8-oz Wagyu filet, so $345 for at least 24-oz doesn't seem to bad at all.
  15. Where exactly are these two places, again? lol
  16. Do you still have all your grandparents?
  17. This is good to know. I will now claim to have a roid belly instead of a donut belly.
  18. I don't see any resemblance from what is shown, whatsoever.
  19. Season 4 will apparently be set in France. I hear there are several places being considered, including the French Riviera, the Alps, and Paris. And best news of all, Jennifer Coolidge will be returning - somehow.
  20. I doubt you'll find anyone with more than one dick. Let alone 8 of them.
  21. A week will give you a taste of the city and likely hook you to return again one day. Much of your itinerary will depend on your interests. If you like ancient history, it is hard to beat the British Museum. It's by donation, or no donation if you choose, so you can go multiple times and not break the bank. The collection is vast, and after a few hours, you may need a break. I tend to go several times, for a few hours at a time. Many museums are 'by donation' and effectively free if you so choose. Nobody will bother you if you walk past the donation box, but sometimes you do get charged a couple of pounds for a museum map/guide. I always recommend that, because some museums and galleries go on, and on, and on. If you like art, there are many choices. The National Gallery is awesome, and the National Portrait Gallery I found to be okay. I think both are on or very close to Trafalgar Square. The Tate Gallery is also very good, and there's a Tate Modern across the river - I didn't find that one as good, but I don't have a well-developed appreciation for modern art. I don't recommend the London Eye - to me it was an expensive waste. Same with Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London are both pretty expensive, but I think both are worth it to see once. If you go to St. Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey for a service, you don't need to pay to enter, but you likely won't have access to as much of the structure. A day trip to Windsor is nice, to tour the Castle and St. George's Chapel, where many monarchs have been buried - the most recent being HRH Queen Elizabeth II. I would use buses as much as possible - they aren't as fast as the Underground, but you get to see a lot more of the city that way. London is also very walkable. If you like wartime history, the Churchill Cabinet War Rooms are interesting, as is the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth, just across the Thames from Westminster. And there's a battleship on the Thames you can tour - I think it's the HMS Belfast, if I'm not mistaken. Harrods Department Store is interesting for the food court, but if you have to choose, I would go with Fortnum and Masons, where the Royal Family apparently gets their groceries. Or from where they order their groceries, most likely. The Natural History Museum is great if you like animals and dinosaurs, and right beside is the Victoria and Albert Museum if you like the history of design. Both museums are pretty vast, but doable in the same day if you focus on the things that interest you and have enough stamina to last the whole day. I believe many museums are closed one day each week - often Monday or Tuesday - but a number of them stay open late one night each week as well. If you like plays or musicals, London always has a lot happening. The theatre district is pretty close to Covent Garden, where there are lots of restaurants. Anyway, just some things to think about...
  22. Probably minimalist with a deconstructed silhouette. Some of the fancier dishes may have been highly beaded.
