Quote of the Day

Well, I've 'created' two children & therefore 6 grandchildren, but don't 'possess' much, does that count, Vida ?

I suggest it took two of you to create the children, not just you, and although the grandchildren exist because of you, you did not create them.

Don't be so picky.

I put the word 'created' in raised quotes for a reason...

We're both picky.

There are many celebrities, although I like their music or movies, would not want to be friends with because they are alcoholics, drug users, paedophiles or simply insane.

Do you think celebs are more likely to have those traits than the general public ?

No but celebrities are more in the spotlight than uncle Joe, aunt Suzie or cousin Kevin.
If they demolish a hotelroom you do not hear about it unless they get arrested, while when Keith Moon, my favourite drummer, destroys a hotelroom it's all over the press.
