Default I have a question about Downtown Abbey.

Downtown Abbey is a pretty good program on BBC America. However,
actual research suggests that British aristocracy treated most of
the
domestic class like animals. In fact, I believe some hunting dogs
had
it much better than your typical laundry maid. Yes, the Butler and
Housekeeper were treated with respect, but still, seems like this
program is quite inaccurate regarding the Victorian domestic class.
Maybe it's simply liberal Brit revisionist history at work again,
through the auspices of 'high entertainment' by the BBC.


Kate Winslet was good in that Titanic movie.
A bit chubby maybe, but really, quite a fine thespian.


Bullshit - Kate Winslet is a fat cow.


In that case you should enjoy her if she is voted "dish of the day" at
your favourite restaurant.

As a matter of interest, what has this to do with football?

Not that I am interested in 22 men kicking a bag of wind about, but just
wondered :-)


Or gardening, philosophy, and creationism? :P

I thought the Brits were into gardening...? Granted they haven't had
a decent philosopher in over a century.

I'm here for the gardening for my wife. Been gardening for over 50 years
:-))

Me? Cover it with concrete and paint it green :-) 'Cutting the grass' means
a quick hose down and a stiff brush :-))

(Now watch those take a poke at me) .... :-))
