They have a wonderful buffet dinner. The wine is excellent.

I've asked were people are from before and they seem happy to talk about it rather than be offended. Seems it's the media pushing this people are offended you asking them where are they from narrative. This John Cleese video could of been filmed last week.

Just trying to get up the charts.

Wow I agree with banana . Racism has become so cheapened that anything can be racist nowadays. Fact is if a white person disagrees or debates a person of colour, and doesn't immediately agree with them it's because they're racist that's the way some far left loons see it. Laurence fox on QT for example. A woman of colour judges him by skin colour and basically says you're a white privileged man so that means his opinion = nothing. He's called racist for defending himself and some acting union sets the dogs on him on twitter. They apologised a few weeks after. Van Jones on CNN saying all white people Even the most well-intentioned white person has a virus in his or her brain. It's a racist fucking statement and he's still in a job. Imagine if a white guy said all blacks have a hate white people virus would you imagine he would still be in a job? Doesn't look like privilege to me, it looks like whites can be racially abused and the media are complicit in it's allowance and silence .

You trying to set a record?

Appreciate I am in the minority here but half the cast being understated while the other half treated it as panto time just jarred on me. Not so badly that I didnt watch all of it, mind.

Sarah Hegazi, who made global headlines after being arrested for flying a Pride flag at a rock concert in Egypt back in 2017, has died by suicide aged 30.

A couple of things raised in this article. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-53000622 "all the times I've been asked, "Where are you from?" (England) "No where are you from, from?" (Oh you mean why do I have this colour skin?)" Let's say I'm chatting to someone I've just met. If I ask "Where are you from?" I mean just that. This isn't a question reserved for people of a different race. I expect to get an answer like Birmingham, Swindon etc. A reply like "England" is acceptable if we're not in the UK at the time, but not otherwise helpful. If we are really asking where the person's ancestors originated, why is it so unacceptable to be interested? Are we not allowed to ask? Someone asked me the other day if my parents came from the place where I now live. I was quite happy to discuss my ancestry. "all the times people think it's okay to touch my curly hair (I'm not a pet)." Agreed, this is pretty intrusive unless you know the person well. But plenty of white people have curly hair too, and it's the same for them. It's a natural curiosity about the texture of hair different from your own, and it can work both ways. I just don't see this as a racist thing. It's all just people to me, and I treat everybody the same. It seems wrong to me to treat people differently because of their race. "I can't ask her that because she's black" kind of thing.

Kate and Gerry were out by the pool having dinner when it happened.

I'm related to this chap. He was my Grandads cousin. George's Dad Zach was the younger brother of my great Grandad John. John also named his oldest son Zac my Grandad older brother after him so Zac name runs in my family. My Grandad was born in 1903 and died in 1982 from Parkinsons disease, but my Nan always made mention that my Grandad and George whilst knowing each other weren't overly close but fond of each other. Great Uncle Ben my Grandads younger brother was slightly more dismissive of George hinting to me that he was a bit of "wrong un" and very "camp". Of course History has born out that South Wales Police looked into historical evidence of abuse but Great Uncle Ben did say to me with knowing wink that I wasnt the 1st gay man in family history.

Why isn't Stretch Armstrong on the list,I haven't heard about him ever passing away.

how is that for commitment for your job Clement Vallandigham, a 19th century US lawyer, accidentally shot himself dead while defending a murder suspect – because he was trying to demonstrate that a supposed victim could have accidentally shot himself dead. (It worked, because his client was acquitted.)
