Though cats can have a dislike of order too. However, with them it seems limited to knocking things off tables on purpose.

I think it is more than that. I know people with a good education who vote for the crazy right (UK). I put it down to laziness, not following credible news sources and not being able/willing to fact check what 'news' they do pick up. How do you achieve this continuing education without kick-back?

Letters home from Grandad. A huge surprise and not so much a rabbit hole as an elephant hole.

Exactly that. My aunt, who died earlier this year, aged 100, was "do you think Grandma knew that he wasn't who he said he was?" Having just inherited the letters home from my Grandad to my Grandma, I think that maybe she did.

I can't seem to post up the pdf that I wrote for my aunt, but you can see, it made me curious. I had to find out who he was.

Either a friend or boyfriend of my grandma. She had kept the "Complete works of Shakespeare" that he had left with her for safekeeping. It was inscribed and had this photo.

I feel your pain. I had received help from the Great War Forum for a chap on Eythorne, Kent's war memorial. It turns out that he had been living under an alias in the village having deserted from the navy before the war. He joined the Coldstream Guards in 1914 though, but died at Givenchy.

The mistake is thinking that he meant a 'Golden Age' for every American. He didn't. He just meant for him and his mates.

It feels like Lindsey Graham is filling in for the late, great Dave Allen. How are you supposed to tell what is comedy anymore?

I mean, puberty is a difficult time (as is menopause) for everyone. We all come through it in our own different style with more or less angst. She can't, legitimately, use this as a reason to hate the people who know where they are going.

Reminds me of men attacking homosexuality who are themselves closet gays.

I guess they are looking at the pr value to Trump of an impeachment vote being lost because he would twist the hell out of that. They need to be sure of some hefty Republicans sticking the knife in. Et tu ....

I don't think I have ever seen the Telegraph print the truth before. I spent my childhood having to read between the lines of my Mum's DT. This baffles me.
