I would... but I don't get C4 (long story).

Bloody hell, London. How can you have elected Boris Johnson as mayor?

eta for benefit of un-un-Americans: afaik, he's what you'd get if you crossed George Bush with Lucius Malfoy. Famous for his dishevelled, hearty, hail-fellow-well-met public school boy manners, for his blonder-than-blond chaos of hair, for appearing on the TV show Have I Got News For You in the capacity of editor of the v. right wing Spectator newspaper, for comparing gay marriage to bestiality, and for referring to Africans as 'Piccaninnies with watermelon smiles'.

Yep. One of our best and brightest all right. Apparently he's apologised for the piccaninnies with watermelon smiles thing, and assured everyone that he hates racism. So that must be okay then.

sinks head in hands.

So, I don't suppose any UK-type people would be willing to go check out the closest Miss Selfridge store to them and see if this jacket is available in a size 14? [link]

Or, as an even longer shot, keep an eye open at thrift or charity shops in case one of these jackets turns up in a size 14? [link]

Anybody else watching the first Eurovision semi-final? So far, Montenegro and Israel have had very good looking young men.

Azerbaijan has gay angels! And a goth boy! I love the Eurovision!

Hello, another thread which I didn't visit/post in yet! Since I mostly post in Natter and Music, I feel like I should be introducing myself again. So, I'm Shir, I'm here because of Nilly, and I joined a few weeks (months?) ago. Hey all.

This is a shout-out for information from you guys. And I really hope it's the right place to ask for it, for I mostly need it from unAmercians guys.

I'm a volunteer of Adva Center and right now I'm helping gather information regarding medical treatment and nursing services for the elderly in other countries, mostly in Europe (but not only there) as a background material for a position paper that will eventually get published and send to the government, following some changes that have been suggested in the Israeli elderly care policy.

And this is where I need your help. I may gather every last byte from the the internet, but it won't help me to understand the situation in other countries. I have to combine the data I've been collecting and the everyday life and what happens in practice. And for that, I need your help.

I would appreciate any story, fact, thought, clarification or information you'll be able to share regarding elderly care in your/other country. In order not to get this thread spinning into another dimension of OT, you can email me at my profile addy.

Thanks!

Hi Shir, sorry I can't help you with any of that info.

If there are any other Aussies looking at this thread, they'll be interested to know that I just read Ten has bought the rights to the new Joss show, The Dollhouse. Nothing on when it will be screened, however.

Hey. Can I get some German -> English translation?

Looking at this posting, what do the cogent parts of the clothing description translate to?

At the bottom there's a lot of stuff about combining articles and saving postage.

It looks as if they do ship to the US, but if it makes things easier to ship to Germany let me know, ita, and we can work something out.

Thanks, Fiona. From reading their English, I think Chinese is their first language. English is kinda hairy too. They have such pretty stuff.
