    What makes some one who read arch and anth less knowledgable than a comedic actor/presenter?

    Nothing.

    But I suspect that he doesn't object to them hiring her, I suspect he objects to them firing a lot of the archeologists that have been on the program for the last twenty years to save the production company money and then bringing in any new non-arch talent at all.

    I also suspect that the sexism angle is more interesting than the truth.

    Sixty-five year old man !!!!ed off with job, retires, isn't exactly newsworthy.

    Mainly boots i think. I have a few poshuns....oh, might have a red posh un to share, but in the main i don't mind cheap nail polish as its not the same as skin.

    Around moving i got rid of loads, but feel a real minimal living thing coming on, and am getting rid of stuff. Snce that man with junk on channel four dh and i have vowedto de-richard ourlives. That guy was called richard, so we have taken t calling junk that is lingering richard.

    My main nail varnish is a very light fudge colour, that's very subtley pearlescent. My second one is one I bought that was similar when I couldn't find the first one one year. I tend to just bung it on for job interviews - and rarely remove it as I forget it's on and it flakes off over the next 2-3 weeks :)

    I did use my 2nd bottle the other month, as a stopping agent while etching copper. So I'm interested in its uses in making jewellery and have some great ideas for the future with some experiments... when I get settled/space.

    I never watch it any more, but ipts quite big isn't it? If it is why does anyone need to go if they are contibuting to its success, in fact some tot mit improve ratings and secure jobs, Totty with undestanding of the subject even more so.

    The thing is he complains about them having a clear out and then rubbishes the show and said it hadn't worked icon7.gif I wonder if he can appreciate the irony.

    I just checked my varnish, for those addicts... it's a Rimmel 60 Seconds, Simply Sexy.

    Can't easily/immediately find a photo of that online though.

    The number of shows that have been on TV that long (other than soaps and the news) is vanishingly small. Everything dies sooner or later. Probably, it is time team's turn.

    But, honestly, those kind of emotions are about as common as you can get in 65-year old men that are about to retire. Pretty much all men about to retire feel exactly the same way. It is part of the distancing process.
