It’s “in hospital” if you’re a patient, “in the hospital” if you’re working or visiting. Similarly, prison, church and some other institutions.

Who are your other two comedy heroes? I’m guessing Tommy Cooper and Spike Milligan.

They made 10 albums before Rumours!!I’m interested in them as a blues band, not as a hit machine. While I understand why they are so popular with her, for me her arrival was the last nail in the coffin. But we all have different tastes and priorities.

They were already something absolutely brilliant without her. They would have been poorer (financially), but musically they were so much better before they went all MOR.

I’ve only experienced an MR scan once and it was on my brain. It was extremely noisy and claustrophobic but I almost fell asleep a couple of times. Sorry it was such a nightmare for you. I think you could try again; you’ll probably be fine.

At last! We’ll all be complaining about the heat before long, but right now I’m really looking forward to some warm weather.

I’ve been asking the same question for some time: why isn’t there a meaningful and powerful reaction? Where are the Dems? And why aren’t decent Americans in the streets, breaking things?

I wish I’d read this yesterday! I changed my password twice in a very short time.

I’d like to think so, but have seen little news coverage of this so far.

I’ve been wondering about this for the last two months. Also, why aren’t decent Americans out in the streets, protesting?

Mmmm, I don’t think you need to be a certain type of person to know that word! It’s very similar in English and French.

I can only say it must have been divine inspiration 😉
