If Obama were POTUS and was planning to go to a football game while the Govt was shut down, thousands of flights were cancelled, people were going without food and workers were unpaid, Trump would call him a disgrace. And Trump would be right.

Ah yes, quite possibly. There’s nothing like prejudice to make a big deal out of something that isn’t a big deal.

That’s fascinating. I wonder how that got started. In Europe and everywhere else I’ve been around the world, everyone (even the Royals) uses fork in left and knife in right. I wonder who decided that that was vulgar and that it was more genteel to switch back and forth.

And another one - why in America (maybe it’s just in the Midwest?) do people cut food with their fork in their left hand and their knife in their right, but then put down the knife and transfer the fork to the right hand to eat the food. This has always puzzled me.

Suggestion - why is it that if you’re having dinner with a friend in the U.S. and you finish first the waiter will remove your plate, but in Europe they don’t remove empty/dirty plates until everyone at the table has finished.

As a Liverpool fan I’ve always admired him as a player, but no matter how good he is it doesn’t make up for his clear failings as a human being. Disgraceful behavior.

Our first visit to Puerto Vallarta we went on a whale cruise. There are parts of the bay where you can’t go within a quarter mile of them, but sometimes there are so many they just swim right past you. This was one of our first sightings, and remains one of the main reasons we’re moving there.

They are stunning. It’s also always fun posting fluke photos to HappyWhale.com and seeing where they’ve traveled to and from.

Love this ❤️ My wife and I are just about to move to MX and one of the things I’m looking forward to most is seeing humpbacks frolicking in the Bahia de Banderas from November to April.

I’ve never really doubted his quality, just his ability to avoid injury or recover quickly.

The response of the players, the club and the fans says everything about why I love this club, and also shows that YNWA is not just a slogan, it’s our DNA.

More successful than the England men’s team, and now demonstrably tougher too 👏
