Allowing an unlicensed driver to operate the vehicle is a policy breach. If the owner didn't allow the operation then there is also no coverage because it was being driven without the owner's consent.

I saw it on Broadway, it was fabulous, but I question whether a touring cast could match the performance of Victoria Clark as the lead.

Pet Peeves: Aka Things That Make You Go "Gah!"
Quof replied to Betweenyouandme's topic in Everything Else
A friend was in an airport lounge listening to a traveler have a speakerphone conversation about "top secret" business dealings. She slipped him a note that said "You don't know who I am. And you don't know who I know." He moved to one of the cubicles designed for such conversations. -

I saw the OG cast of Waitress. I very rarely see a production twice, but while planning a trip to NYC in early 2019 I saw on Sara's social media that she would be doing a listening party for her album Amidst the Chaos, after a Waitress showing while I was in town. I thought "I'll buy the cheapest ticket to the show, just to attend the listening party". It was hosted by Gavin Creel. I'm so glad I didn't pass up that opportunity.

16. Does that make me the top Canuck on Primetimer? For the record, everyone in my small town called the evening meal "supper". When I went to a Big City University, I started saying "dinner" and have never reverted. -
Christine Brown Woolley: Nacho Sister Wife Anymore
Quof replied to Rhondinella's topic in Sister Wives
They have 2 AirBnB properties. A property that others rent out in its entirety. Meri has an actual B & B (bed and breakfast), essentially a small hotel that rents individual rooms and includes breakfast. Yes, that predatory short term rental company deliberately chose its name to fool the public. -
Alienation of affection is a specific legal term, allowing you to sue the person who "stole" your spouse (usually directed toward the "other woman", rarely a man who had an affair with a married woman). It's been disallowed in most jurisdictions, with the recognition that (1) you don't own your spouse and (2) your spouse was the asshole who broke their marriage vows, regardless of whether some "whore" enticed him. You're thinking of parental alienation.

Telling your guests not to give you a gift implies they were otherwise obligated to give you a gift. -
Jana and Stephen: Slow and Steady Gets the Best Wedding
Quof replied to ginger90's topic in Counting On
Like wedding invitations that specify the colour that guests are to wear. Who cares if your nearest and dearest can't afford to buy something to match your wedding palette, guests are merely props in your carefully staged Instagram reel and extras in the Film of You.- 397 replies

They cleared out the stuff they thought made the house cluttered; I'm sure they thought the stuff they left was tasteful and classy.

Graham Norton: All Episodes Talk
Quof replied to StatisticalOutlier's topic in The Graham Norton Show
The NYE show is, of course, recorded weeks in advance. Some years it is clearly recorded over several dates, with completely separate groups of guests on the couch, then pieced together for airing as if it happened all at once. It's not a matter of "guests who had nothing better to do", they're scheduled by their publicists like any other date. -

Robbie is always a great guest on Graham's show. Search for him telling the story about his daughter's birth, I believe to Emma Thompson. -

I'm still pretty restricted while recovering from an accident, so I declined an invite to a small home NYE gathering; going to friends' home for Christmas dinner really knocked me out so I don't want a repeat of that. Other friends just dropped off a huge plate of a turkey dinner. Too many brussels sprouts, not enough gravy. I kid - it was delicious. Although I did scrape the sprouts straight in the compost. I have enough left for another dinner tomorrow. I expect to be asleep any minute now.

An easy rule - "self" is reflexive, it reflects back on something earlier in the sentence. "I did it myself", "He went himself". If it is the first time the character is appearing in the sentence, they can't be a "self".
