Toughen up, Princess. I have to take the train to Leedeeville then a bus supposedly to the Wellington St bus station then walk to RPH. This morning the bus dropped everyone about 50 m east of the arena. It started to rain just as I got off the bus. My hair, which I had spent 20 minutes blow drying straight, got wet and was frizzy/wavy all day.

I first read that as you having an ear and anal razor.

I was imagining all the Brazilians in the dole queue

OMG. You keep your ketchup in the pantry and not the fridge!!
