I just got tickets to see Simon Callow, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen (Magneto and Xavier, together at last, again) and, erm, Ronald Pickup doing Waiting For Godot next month. I am delighted.

That's awesome. I'm seriously jealous. I still have hopes of finding a video of Steve Martin and Robin Williams doing Godot, but that could be just as good.

Why are girls scout cookies so good? I think the girls scout leader is actually an alien overmind that controls their thoughts and sucks their blood to inject into the cookies. THEY ARE PREPARING FOR AN INVASION!

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Girl Scout cookies are fucking evil. That being said, I'll take a box of thin mints, samoas, and tagalongs please  |

I'm so proud of myself for not having bought a box this past season. I'm trying to lose weight, on day.

Why would I care if you criticise some Welsh thing? I'm not Welsh, you know. It's not like I'm mocking your spotted dick. Girl Scout cookies taste bad. The mint ones are probably the best but they're even crappy. I only tell you how bad they are for your own good and because it brings me joy to dis the cookies you love so much.

And I enjoyed having a laugh about your spotted dick! It's important to try and focus our mocking on REAL Welsh people though.

I really should learn more about my Welsh heritage so that I can feel insulted by you people or something. In the meantime though, Signe, you are crazy girl.
The only thing better than chocolate mint wafer cookies, are said cookies being delivered to you by a girlscout to make you feel less guilty about buying cookies. "It's for a good cause" always trumps "I really should eat healthier".

So I have to measure myself for a suit etc for the US. Anyone know a site that lists such information handily?

I don't think there are any websites that can tell you what your measurements are just through a browser....  |

I've never worn a suit in my life. Unless you count the Texas Cowboy Tux.  I wish I had an excuse to though... |

It probably wouldn't kill you to own at least one.

Actually, it'd probably take someone else getting killed for me to wear one. And even then, I'll probably pass on their funeral. |

Why would you need to have to wear one? Suits are cool, they make men look good and suave and shit. Also thanks for the kind words, my mother was in fact fine. She had a pretty nasty liver infection though that was definitely non-trivial, my aunts did indeed think she was not long for this world. On the upside the hospital had at least two Irish nurses with whom she chatted about the ould country so it wasn't absolutely necessary I went down but I was glad I did. |

I agree that men can look great in a suit. Righ does when he has to be a corporate spook. If you don't like them, though, and have no reason to wear one - why bother owning one? Buy a suit you don't need and suddenly someone dies or you end up in a job that requires one! Next thing you know, you're driving down the road, feeling smart and snazzy in your suit and your tie pulls an Isadora Duncan on you! It's tempting fate!  I'm glad your mum is okay! |

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Hah. How am I whining? I don't give two fucks about suits or even necessarily having a good job. I'm fine.
It was a joke. The "Secret" is one of those big self help books about the law of attraction and success.

I have 2 suits. TWO ffs. One of them I've worn twice, once for my wedding and once at someone else's wedding. The other one I used to have to wear for conference presentations so I associate it with fear and thus it will probably never be worn again. In fact it probably even smells of fear. I should burn it. It hangs in the wardrobe like a secret ghost, tormenting me. I'm gonna burn it. Yeah.
Just had an awesome breakfast though! Poached eggs, fried tomatoes, mushrooms, bacon & thyme, smoked salmon and toasted muffins.
Still gonna burn that suit.
