You can see that performance here. I don’t know how or why it happened in those markets, or how important they are to Disney.

You must have missed it, but RTD also revealed a while back that renewal can’t happen until after season 2 is shown. Which is exactly what the new press release confirms. One thing that may help renewal is that season 1 went gangbusters in many parts of the world that have underdeveloped markets.

No. We’ve known we’re waiting until the second season has finished its run for quite a while now. There is just nothing new or newsworthy here.

But that’s not what she claimed, is it?

I wasn’t expressing my own view, just the verifiable truth that a clear majority of people trust the BBC across all of their platforms (about 68% from last year’s Ofcom report). Truss is utterly wrong.

This is how crazy the US is wrt prescription meds - in the UK I take 13 meds a day, and it costs me £111.60 (c. $139) in total per year. I could need 50 meds and it would be the same. All it takes is a governmental inclination to negotiate from strength.

Poll after poll, down through the years, has shown the BBC to be the most trusted news source in the UK. Not sure why the 50 Day Queen thinks otherwise.

Yes . In the living world President Harris is doing some fantastic work.

Imbecile. If someone had tripped him at that moment, he could have faced manslaughter charges (or whatever the US equivalent is for unintentional killing).

So, at some point, the shop will have been paying you to take it home. Or am I overthinking this?

I’m not sure what the issue with this is. They conceive two months before he leaves. Halfway through his voyage the baby is born. Seven months later he meets his baby.
Am I missing something?

There’s nothing wrong with being autistic (and I say that from personal experience), but it’s widely regarded as coming from the father. So yes, sperm.

When I was an RE teacher I would do a lesson on ‘Images of Christ’ using depictions of him from all over the world and all throughout history. The point was to note how all these cultures made him theirs. So a white Jesus is fine. The problem is when white culture pushes it as the only right image.

Is it ok to say that, as a man, posts like that make ME want to choose the bear?

Easiest divorce case in history. Thankfully no kids (or she’d have mentioned them). Cruelty.

Regardless of the topic, as someone else with chronic high pain, I hope you get some better days - always, of course, but especially over the next few days.

I can kind of see what point they were trying to make, but they’ve missed it by a country mile.

As an autistic man - I love these Tesco sandwiches. My local bakery does great sliced egg sandwiches on white, no complicated multiple element like mayo.

He is definitely *an* Antichrist as defined by various writers in the NT. Whether or not he is *the* Antichrist is yet to be seen.

Cold Lazarus. Sequel to Karaoke. In honour of Potter’s dying wishes, making and broadcasting the two linked dramas was shared by the BBC and Channel Four, rival broadcasters. They were a really disturbing watch.

Dark mode, blue light off, lower light levels, black and white mode. Makes browsing and reading so much easier.

I hope he’s still reachable, and the scales fall from his eyes as he tears his mum to pieces and explains she will be persona non grata unless she changes.

These things matter to many. And it’s the partner’s responsibility to help make those dreams come true.

She wants to dress as a bride (in white), and have the bride dress as a bridesmaid (in colour), and her son thinks it’s a fair compromise. My wife planned her wedding from when was a child. A friend (someone usually very together) rang me in floods of tears because her cake topper was wrong.

I lived in York between 1997/98, and weirdly don’t remember stotties being there. Faulty memory I suppose.

Stotty/stottie in the north east too. I used to get crispy streaky bacon in one from my dad.

Even with the greatest of care, a man can come to orgasm without the woman getting there too. That, of course, is why we have fingers.

The box set need to get hold of this. Perfect for when they get to this season.

Always puzzled me when watching House. I’d never heard of it until then. I just assumed it was an American thing. I know I can’t do it (but then again I take 12 pills of an evening).

I think I’m wrong. Wikipedia doesn’t have any version of the longer phrase on its page about the slogan.

I’ve pecked a friend on the cheek before. But that’s a long established ok thing between friends. The kisses in this case were clearly sexual.

I’m sorry to inform you that you actually died in early November. This is actually hell - enjoy your stay!

I loathe the ‘customer is always right’ attitude. I was made to follow that when I still worked in a supermarket. The actual saying was originally, ‘the customer is always right in matters of taste’. Missing that bit out just leads to insanity - when customers are so often clearly wrong!

Huh. Passed me by. My primary school project, that said only Saturn has rings (and three moons), and that Jupiter had just 12 moons, just gets further and further out of date.

Since when did Neptune have a ring?

The American Experiment ended (in ignominy) in November, so yes.

That’s just a dinosaur with very bad breath and an oil addiction.
