I Am A Swede

With the money problem Arantxa Sanchez Vicario has had maybe we'll hear about a comeback from her next.....

I hadn't heard about the controversy around Kris Mochrie (Victoria's rapist)! How insensitive of Emmerdale to cast someone with that background in such a role! As for the spoiler, I guess it could be a sort of compensation for Jai after Eliza left with Megan.....

Asan N'Jie, who played Ellis Chapman, has been sacked after a fight with Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas at an awards ceremony on Monday. https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-49659984

I agree. I have no pity at all for Boris Johnson. He deserves everything he's getting....

I don't think he can help himself. He just can't wrap his mind around the fact that everything (anything?) he does isn't wonderful and great.

Congratulations to Bianca! I wonder if Serena will ever get number 24 now. It seems like there's a mental barrier for her now, and she's not getting any younger. She's obviously still good enough to be competitive but it won't get any easier....

^^ Seriously?? 5 years in prison for that??

The chaos in British politics continue. Prime minister Boris Johnson has lost his majority in the parliament after a Tory MP, Phillip Lee, has defected to the Liberal Democrats. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49570682

Remembering events of 80 years ago....

Normally I wouldn't condone wishing death upon someone, but there are always exceptions to every rule.....

Feeling a bit nostalgic today.... Some non-English songs that were popular here just when I was starting to pay attention to music charts (around 1983-84)

A fascinating article about Althea Gibson, the trail-blazer who paved the way for, among others, the Williams sisters: https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/49186075

^^ Really? Wow, that explains a lot. I thought the stars were given as a reward for accomplishments, which is why some recipients seemed so baffling.
