Does this count as celebrities who died the day I was born? Because there's nobody else, so I think this means my body is haunted by ghosts?

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm a little worried. I'm married to a knitter and when the alcohol starts flowing and they start arguing alpaca vs sheep wool, things get nast-
I can't finish that, knitters are lovely people. And tend not to be loud and obnoxious.

Also, I don't know if they still are, but a lot of the New Zealand ones used to be on Dailymotion and, apart from the first season where they try to glam it up and fail, they're just as wonderful as the British ones.
Used to watch those on my lunch breaks.

It is one of the best TV shows ever made, and definitely the best reality show I've ever seen, because everyone is nice and friendly and supportive (even Paul). No "I'm not here to make friends" nonsense. Everyone makes friends. Everyone is happy for the winner. Everyone helps each other.

...deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none;
New mother picks up and suckles her son;
Senior citizens wish they were young.

Even the film Wag the Dog came out at a point where the internet was making hiding such things pretty difficult, but people were still getting most of their news from TV and newspapers. Now it's basically impossible. You cannot stop a social media legion from being interested in Epstein.
