/\ So, is that a yes or no?

Not many of us are rulers who use their garish bullshit to intimidate the masses and other countries.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds everything about Los Vegas a repugnant display of selfishness/greed. A cesspool.
~
Fireworks are, to many, an obnoxious disturbance of the peace no more enjoyable than a kid's blaring boom box or car sound system.
~
We can enjoy the wonders of nature without pinning pieces of dead creatures to our hats.



But, my question was somewhat rhetorical, wasn't it?

Many do indeed love a show-off --- Too often drug dealers and other thieving type criminals. It creeps me out big-time, but there it is.

Liberace?

Liberace?

I was tempted to include him, but I think he gets ridiculed too much, especially considering he did Elton John before Elton John, and arguably better.

Sarah Jessica Parker said on the radio he fav car is a 1976 Ford Country Squire station wagon she drives exclusively at her Hamptons home- she’s not trying to draw attention to herself

I'm not surprised you wouldn't be aware of any of them living on an island.

 

[unloadonme]

Colonial nonentities then.

 

[rareboy]

Pretty much from your perspective I guess.

Remember when Great Britain was something?

It could be a trick—at least some of them are probably men. I think the one in the middle might be that bird from Friends who did the shampoo adverts.

Yes, I do. But that was many years ago.

 

[rareboy]

^^Pretty predictable.

At least one of them is why you in GB grudgingly have any homo rights at all.

But they weren't awarded an OBE or CBE or some other meaningless honorific.

Let's see if you can struggle along and figure out which one.

She used to be a man. An Olympic champion in the Decathlon in 1976.
