You can transform this dialogue - just imply that you have the intruder in your sights, and are about to open fire.  Behold, instant police involvement.  At least, that's the way it works in England.

No, that would be "Keep Gaza Clean".  This advocates genocide.

Mine's a cropped part of a photo of my family on a bridge near the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford upon Avon, just before seeing the "Merry Wives of Windsor".  So it is part of a very special memory.

And I love the hat.

Surely you are expatriates, not ex-patriots?

Nathan and Tommy - I'm inclined not to get het up.  She was an ordinary, star-struck teenage girl (the cut-out photos of film stars remain on the walls of her room).  We ought to know her for the books and articles that the woman she should have grown into might have written.

*thought better of*

I have a backlog of some 98 books in the "to read" collection on my Kindle. The one I'm addressing at the moment is "Falling Up The Stairs" by one James Lileks.

And this is the nub of it.  In the UK, and in California, civil unions are available ensuring the civil rights aspect.  This was not acceptable to Judge Walker, and is not to Mr Cameron, since they *do* care what people think, and are determined to ensure that people recognise such unions as marriages, not something other.  Which, I fear, makes your observation rather obtuse.  The debate is about the compulsion of recognition, not equality.

Then of course, there is the pop-psychology magazine survey in which 75% of same-sex couples proposing to get married declare themselves opposed to the idea that the relationship is exclusive and faithful.  Which would be acceptable under law of contract (like the current UK civil unions), but undermines the very idea of marriage.  Thanks, Mr Cameron.

1% = 1/100

0.001% = 1/100000 = 1*10^-5

I think the correction is mistaken

Yes (though they are Sterling notes, just like those issued by various Scottish banks), and lots of other people's too.  Swiss Francs, for example, are printed by De La Rue in Jersey,  and they also print various other specialised financial documents (like the old EuroCheque forms, which were like Travellers' Cheques in the local currency).

I thought that waterboarding had only be used 3 times, but two of those were on KSM. So only 2 individuals.

Go for it!

I beg to disagree - I'm impressed with the NY Holmes.  The fact that the actors playing the London and NY Holmes played the roles of Dr Frankenstein and the Creature on alternate nights at the National Theatre is another interesting thread joining them - everyone recognises Cumberbatch's prodigious talents now, but Jonny Lee Miller doesn't seem to be similarly recognised (and no-one remembers that he was Angelina's first husband).  He was a first-rate Mr Knightley in the 2009 BBC Emma, and his Holmes is a wonderfully layered creation.  The total (and deliberate) absence of sexual chemistry in his friendship with the female Watson is amazing for Hollywood, and just right.

Fellowes is a lovely fellow, he wrote speeches for Iain Duncan-Smith - the Conservative Prime Minister we didn't get, but should have done, and his heart is very much in the right place.  But he is a bit of a hack writer :)

Dan's a very bright chap, as well as a first-rate actor.  He won't lack for parts, and he always has writing to fall back on.  Did you know he's a judge for the Booker Prize?  And is an editor at The Junket?

He's been involved in a series of projects with Jonathan Smith, one of his teachers at Tonbridge, including a radio play about painting Winston Churchill and a new film.

He'll do just fine - but unfortunately he'd had enough of playing Matthew.

He's a nice chap - he was very friendly when speaking to my stage-struck eldest son after a performance of "Hay Fever" in London  (didn't hurt that they had the same drama master).
