Hope the diva gets better. He's a legend.

The production at London’s Dominion Theatre stars Vanessa Williams as the fearsome editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep in the film.

The part was made for her after playing Wilhemena in Ugly Betty.

Not if it means coming home at 10 every night.

MrKipling:

Easy. Going to a pub or supermarket and having other beer choices other than a generic lager beer.

Don't you misss those exceedlingly good cakes?

Ossan:

Tops for me has always been a hamburger that tastes like a hamburger. And not a meat loaf sandwich.

In other words, the usual American junk food. How about lashings of fructose syrup to go with that?

JeffLee:

Wholewheat sliced sandwich bread, which is actually available in Tokyo but hard to find and often sells out.

Exactly. And granary bread with seeds. People here need to realize marshmallow is not bread.

For me, I also miss fresh affordable salads, real Indian food (especially southern). Not from India but large Indian community means authentic food readily available. Same with dim sum.

Can't she find a daddy who can pardon her?

Who cares, China is viewed 90% poorly by the rest of the world after selling them trash for the last 2 decades. They lapped it up anyway, but it's all basically plastic pollution.

Where you you getting these stats? From your ...? Once again, another one from the Global Minority, G7 delusional world. The Global Majority or Global South does not think like you. Better get used to it because the BRICS are the future.

Anyway, must be a slow-news day for JT to be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

TaiwanChina:

He's your president. Enjoy.

As someone wrote:

CIA NED Moslem Brotherhood Al Qaida ISIS

Funny how USA agrees or disagrees with ICC depending on who it wants to arrest.

I hope the Dutch are ready for an American invasion should Netanyahu be arrested. It's written in US law that they will invade the Netherlands.

China says thank you and bless you.

I hope the west enjoys their president. You get what you deserve, as they say.

BRICS (and not BRIC, as this western MSM stenographer writes) is not quaking in its boots.

When two countries do trade and business with each other, why the heck should they have to use a third party's currency? It's none of that third party's business. USA may go round the world chasing down their own citizens for taxes, but they have no business interfering with other countries' own affairs.

The US/ Turkey helping ISIS style militants again. When will they ever learn?

Exactly. This is so obvious. ISIS was always related to USA. The propaganda machine worked well in the west.

China doesn't seem to have these sort of problems, despite the size of the country. The difference is money spent on infrastructure, research and development and a genuine willingness to adopt more green energy as opposed to vitrtue-signalling, spending tax-payers' money on endless wars abroad and propaganda to justify these wars.

No, I don't buy any gifts at all. Humbug to the mass buying hysteria.

Neither do I. Waste of money spent on something someone may or may not like. It's spent on a night out or dinner instead. Food is something everyone needs and wants. Spending time with family and friends and eating is the best gift.

Gambare:

The visa-free scheme for Chinese most definitely will not be reciprocated - which is a good thing.

Don't worry, they'll be spending their money elsewhere.

The yakuza have a social conscience! We’ll blow me down with a feather.

And I have a bridge to sell you

Like drinking a bottle of oil.

taiwanchina:

So is 2/3 of what is now the PRC.

So says the guy that comes from the US empire but pretends to be related to Taiwan in some weird way. It's none of America's business and yet you still have 800 military bases scattered all over the world, many of which are facing a 'menacing' China. And now it's threatening to drop a nuclear bomb on Russia, as if dropping two on Japan, and countless others over the heads of Pacific Islanders wasn't enough.

I doubt he'll last 6 months. And I'm being generous.

Who pays: tax-payers

Who gains: Military industrial complex (and certain politicians).

Who laughs: China (minus the Taiwanese tax-payers).

Hawaii and Guam are home to major U.S. military bases.

Examples of colonialism and the violence that came with it.

That's been the mantra. Get innocent people from another country to do your dirty work and die for your thirst for imperialism and hegemony. Ukraine had to resort to getting pregnant women to fight too. When is this madness going to stop. Just one in a number of proxy wars America has undertaken.

What's the bet they start bombing again once the Lebanese have returned to their homes?

For the past 1 million years, atmospheric CO2 concentrations, as inferred from various proxy data, has fluctuated but has never been above 300ppm. Since the Industrial Revolution (circa 1850), it has gone up without fail, and is now about 420 ppm. Basic science tells you the more CO2 there is in the atmosphere, the more warming there is. Where do people think the CO2 comes from?

The problem I have with certain governments is that they're all about virtue signalling and expected the poorer nations to do all the suffering and hard work. One particular country has historically emitted more CO2 than China, and yet accuses China of over-capacity when it comes to EVs and solar panels. Two-faced.

theFu:

Er, maybe it's because there are tons of videos out there made by foreigners who live in China. I'd rather listen to their experiences and those of foreign tourists there than listen to what CNN tells us to believe.

And as for those recent events in China, maybe some of us don't like to sensationalize these killings, causing more grief to the victims' families, and leading to more copycat killings. When victims' familes in the west say they don't want to say the murder's name or they don't want to give them more of the limelight, do you criticize them? Or is it one standard for them, another for the Chinese. You think everyone wants to shout out and make a scene? People in different cultures deal with grief differently, not according to your western liberal standards.

The CCP doesn't leave gay stories.

I'd like to agree or disagree with you, but I don't know what you're on about.

I really don't want to hear Xmas songs from early November.

fos:

FOS,Jews have not learn from their past, when they were despise for no reason,now people have a real reason to despise them

It's not the Jews, as such. It's the Zionists (who aren't necessarily Jewish - they're either extreme evangelicals or people who'll stab their mothers in the back if given enough money by AIPAC or Friends of Israel). The leaders aren't even of west Asian heritage - their fathers and grandfathers come from Europe and America. They conveniently change their surnames and think it's their right to claim citizenship of a land from where their ancestors left over a 1000 years ago. I myself can't even claim ciizenship of the countries where my parents came from.

Well, you know, war is profitable. A certain little birdy once said that the goal was not to bring peace, but to continue wars (and the money flowing in).

While same sex relations are not illegal in China, same sex marriage is not recognized

Reuters just couldn't help itself. SMS wasn't recognized in western countries until very recently and it's still a touchy subject in parts of USA. I'm more interested in the fact that homophobic murders and physical abuse are extremely rare in China, unlike in the west.

I hope to god Rutte is more informed and educated than Stoltenberg:

Embarrassing to say the least

I pay no attention to them.

Didn't he think of divorce?
