@northlondon, I don't disagree with your sentiments, however I doubt she is really significantly wealthy since her agency will take te lion's share of her earnings. I'm sure she's comfortable, but that will only last whilst she is popular enough to work (ie. Right side of 30). By this point her best option will likely be trophy wife to some (ideally) wealthy fellow. At that point it's anyone's guess, although the statistics of tarento marriage don't make for reassuring reading
All in all, the problem about being in the head of this kind of celeb is that they have a very short career, and one which doesn't do much to prepare them for the remaining 2/3 of their lives

this guy is right on the money. the root of the problem lies in the fact that they are pretty much the only guaranteed holidays for the majority of workers. at least having them nationwide makes them an opportunity for people who live far apart to get together
Posted in: The government should instead increase the number of national holidays and also encourage people to take more paid vacations.

whilst i'm very much live and let live, the one thing about this issue that i just don't understand is why the gay lobby insists on using the m-word... surely they realise how emotive it is? why not use a term like "civil union"?

Commercial trucks have been around for a hundred years at most, and transistor amplifiers about 60. Is that long enough to constitute a tradition? I don't think so

@whiskeysour, you seem to contradict yourself: children should not dye their hair (ie. everyone has black hair), but children should not be forced to have school uniform (ie. the book bags)? personally, i'm a supporter of school uniforms. children will still find ways to personalise it, but at least it detracts from school yard fascism and encourages the idea that school is an institution of some importance

did they tune in for the second episode to find out that it was santa in the costume?? which means it wasn't really Muhammed... but then it couldn't have been Muhammed anyway because it's just a computer animation anyway... oh my god, it's a wonderful, beautiful thing! tre & matt really don't get enough credit. fantastic modern satire!

certainly has. managed to shake that pretty-boy romantic lead image he looked to be saddled with a while ago. being scorsese's new principal leading man doesn't hurt either
