Unfortunately, Sangeeta, I was brought up, not dragged up, so if you don’t mind, I’ll carry on treating the the people I deal with daily with nothing less than the most basic level of respect and civility, in the hopes that others (not you, obviously) show me the same consideration.

Admitting you've been taken in by a consummate liar is something most of us can sympathise with...it's happened to me and I thought I could spot a liar a mile off. I was wrong too. Much as it pains me to say so.

Thinking about Big Bertha, the world's oldest cow from County Kerry, who died just before her 49th birthday after calving 39 times over her life (another record) - she also raised thousands for charity, lead the St. Patrick's parade in Sneem, and had her birthday and wake in a local pub

In honour of Melania, here's a reminder that the thing Kane is applauding in this popular gif isn't good. It's very bad! It's his wife singing poorly in an opera he paid for.

Alt: Orson Welles as Kane in evening dress, applauding too hard to hide his humiliation.
