Though I confess it was amusing when our then-live in lady watched Terminator -III with us- when Arnie cut into his chest and changed his batteries her eyes almost popped out! The appeal of watching her goggle began to pall when Sex and the City came on and Samantha Jones was doing things best described in Latin to a courier... You are so spot-on about the live in help!

I have convinced the kids to upgrade to Facebook so they are not using Orkut any more. How is THAT for successful connecting, eh? ;-) Ah, Neo.

They now even bleep the 'faggot' in Pogues' Fairytale. A long while though since I heard Money For Nothing on radio so cannot say how they treat 'that little faggot' with an earring and makeup, who is also a millionaire. :-/ That is unlikely to happen.

Maybe someone can just introduce that new meaning into the Oxford dictionary so BBC can unban it. :-) -Neo At this point, all f**ing means is “very”.

Almost by definition you don't have a healthy diet/exercise routine if you're not hungry for breakfast. Or maybe your dinners are way too heavy ? -Neo Hi TD,

The total number of people these kids interact with on a daily basis just far outstrip what we are used to in the West (or in Singapore). These kids can haggle with the auto driver in Kannada while breaking up with their boyfriend by texting him, while simultaneously having a conversation with the 2 other people they shared the auto with! -Neo Hi Philip,

Our maid comes in at 6.30am and leaves at 9am to handle the breakfast chores. She comes back in the afternoon to do all the other stuff. -Neo Live-in maids sort of suck due to the privacy problems, and also because you end up being responsible for any health issues they might get at 2am.
