Re: To tip or not to tip... or should it be banned?

I actually quite like it, especially when I'm in a different state (and drunk), saves me having to work it out. In CA, I just do a rough double up of the tax as my tip.

Re: Movie Reviews

We were going to see it at the cinema, and then something came up at the last moment, and we didn't get chance again. So glad we didn't spend $40 on it.

Re: Movie Reviews
