Yup.

Aldershot is known for its connection with the British Army. This led to rapid growth from a small village to a Victorian town. Today, Aldershot is known as the "Home of the British Army".

I've shot there on the Guards Depot range.

HH, tDL has appeared in Wisconsin more than once. The last time I would have been able to hear him, I decided to take [mild] umbrage at the instructions for attendee garb. Apparently HH, tDL "likes bright colors" but cannot be approached by women with bare arms. I hadn't planned to wantonly flaunt my arms, but I found myself musing that bare arms on men (not to mention monks!) are, apparently, a-ok. But not on women, because mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble ...

I concede that it's petty, but I just cannot bring myself to travel to hear *any* aging male cleric speak, who must be protected from the wimmins.

That's ridiculous. I thought he was above worldly things.

The question is, whether it is him having problems with that or it is a custom he respects (or has to respect).
This isn't the age anymore where super-holy men travelled with droves of scantily clad women to demonstrate the power of their chastity (the success easily read off their indicator rods ).

*cough* No comment (other than this one). I'll look into when it's occurring, and let you know, Griffin. My granddad was stationed there at some point after WWII.

I like Mary Beard, and had no idea there was a storm going on about her. Who cares if she's a lesbian. I can't see that making a single jot of difference to her presenting, and changes nothing about how I think of her. She doesn't appear to overly favour women, or make men out to be all bad. She tells the story, warts and all, which is the way I like it.

........ Who cares if she's a lesbian.

I don't think anyone has presented any evidence either way except she wears sandals...... it's hard to tell if it is just mysogenist rubbish at clever women as there are quite a few female academic TV personalities right now who don't seem to be attacked in the same way. I've no idea why she irritates me so much, but it's certainly not anything to do with sexual orientation

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She timidly asked, "Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"

The operator said, "I'll be glad to help, dear.
What's the name and room number of the patient?"

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, "Norma Findlay, Room 302."

The operator replied, "Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse's station for that room."

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said,

"I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well. Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal, and her physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow."

The grandmother said,"Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried.
God bless you for the good news."

The operator replied "You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"

The grandmother said,"No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302.
No one tells me shit."
