I have a question about Downtown Abbey.
"Zaphod Beeblebrox" wrote
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?
The game you refer to is called soccer - not football.
Sometimes people forget that American English is the standard
on the usenet.
