I wouldn't call it HUGE; I'd say the content barely existed before and now it exists. :) Read more

Meant more in the spiritual "bow to you" sense. Read more
Right, that's it. You've convinced me. I'm moving to Asia! Sick of being short in a tall world (OK, everyone is tall when you're only 5ft). Off to find me some short people who will take me seriously instead of calling me 'cute', brb... Read more
Umm, racist much? Acid attacks have been occurred all over the world - including the UK (google Katie Piper). And whilst in Iran sexism may be legal, even in countries where it is illegal, it is still rife. Read more
Not sure how you got 'hating' from my post but putting your baby's scan's on facebook just seems so impersonal somehow. Let's face it, every moment of one's life is now documented. Teenagers can't get up to anything without it being immortalised on camera, video or CCTV. I get the excitement of sharing ultrasounds… Read more
At least you only get pregnant bellies. The strange trend for starting a facebook album of your child's scans before it is born is what freaks me out. Oversharing. So much. That poor baby is not even getting privacy in the womb before it is paraded all over the internet. Read more
Mitochondrial DNA is passed down the mother's line. So whilst Derek and his sister share Stormie's, Farrah's child has Farrah's mtDNA. A sibling is perfectly fine for paternity tests, though, as is a parent. So Derek's mother or sister could have provided a sample to test Sophia against. Read more
Just found out that the reason this is a pro-life horror movie is because... Read more

Some people's first time IS romantic and perfect and pleasurable...wouldn't say marriage has much to do with that though. Read more
I like to give things a fair shot, so I was like, maybe her first book wasn't that good, I'll read the second too, after she's developed more as an author. Read more
We welcome criticism and critical exchange (and leave plenty of it untouched); we don't welcome lame criticism. if your comment reads like a template — "x has really been going downhill since y" — that's considered lame. Doesn't get anyone anywhere. Read more
Why have I never seen this? You just planned my weekend for me. Read more
Ahh, my response to the "gotten" debate is above. As for the grammar of Brits, we abuse the English language just as much as Americans do, in our own way. Read more
"Gotten" would have been perfect tense, i.e. I have gotten, whilst "got" was the imperfect tense i.e. I got. But we don't really have a full complement of alternative words for the perfect tense, we mostly just create it using "to have" + "standard past tense". So "gotten" might not be made up, but it is a strange… Read more
What we need in English-English from South African English: "Robot" for "Traffic light" and "Circle" for "Roundabout". My parents are from Cape Town...but the rest you can keep ;) Read more
Arrrrgggghhhhh!!! I am one of these Brits and there are SO many Americanisms that drive me crazy!!! Oh, I could rant for hours!! Read more
You're right. But it's still a decent account of how these things can go. Read more
Yep, it probably would be, but amusing just the same, no? ;) Read more
God, that is scary. She looks like she's about to jump on him/eat him alive. Read more
