The Off Topic Topic

So critical of the press lately. There was a valid reason for it. There was a theft involved. The police need help finding the purse because they can't ID the woman without it.

No criticism - my understanding is that the press is leery of publicising jumpers for fear of encouraging more of the same. I dunno if this is actually true or just some rumour I heard, though.

[Josephus]

They do n't normally publish suicides of any kind. this one is different for what I said above. They will never mention her by name, though.

I want to thank the Poles of the world for offering really inexplicably cheap flights between Warsaw and San Francisco and also building a rail line between the city center and Chopin International Airport. That is going to make the tail end of my European adventure/ordeal much, much easier.

Laura Fernee says her good looks are so powerful they are ruining her life
The 33-year-old says she attracted unwanted attention from male colleagues
She said that she is 'not lazy and I'm no bimbo'
Her parents pay for her £2,000 a month in rent and bills for her flat in Notting Hill -
her parents also pay for her credit cards, and £1,700-per-month for her designer clothes and handbags

Too pretty to work.


Whatever, dumbass. My wife is hotter than her and manages to pull down almost six figures. Also, why go to the Mail about it? Oh, I guess the working life is just not for me. Call a press conference!

Cheap flights connecting San Francisco and Warsaw?  Were you behind this Marty?

Has anyone told you lately what a lucky SOB you are?

[Valmy]

Yeah there is a well respected manager in my office who is way hotter than her.  I guess any excuse for failure will do

$735. If it's his doing, he works damn well from behind.

Interesting tidbit: in 1936 the British Government was listening in on the calls from King Edward VIII.

Actually I was speaking as a typical man, not Caliga, when I wrote that reply.

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

There are at least half a dozen women at the nerdfest academic conference I am at that are hotter than her.

 The fact that "bereavement" is a word in the english language is a little unpleasant.
