Well, some people anyway. But then there are the rest of you. You know who you are. You're the gentleman who delivered my groceries the other day and said we had a problem because I had to be 21 to receive alcohol. You're me when I told that same man that I liked a guy who knew his way around a dolly. (Lame, I know. I was caught off guard.) You're the fiftysomething guy behind me on the plane before Christmas telling his fortysomething seatmate how sensual her eyes were--actually, I hope you're not, because...
...with someone with whom they're not in any kind of meaningful dating relationship. Hooking up--very informal sex between two people with no intent of pursuing a deeper relationship--takes this casualness even further.

In a statement to MPs in the House of Commons on Thursday, Miliband expressed "anger and dismay" at Russia's actions adding: "We saw similar actions during the Cold War but frankly thought they had been put behind...
...story is just all too depressingly familiar: back in 2005, the Belarus KGB detained me for exactly the same reason the St. Petersburg police detained Kinnock. This is from my 2005 Belarus notes: "A traffic cop pulls us over ... and 'detects' the smell of alcohol on the driver's breath." They hadn't even bothered to vary their vocabulary this week...
