fizzytom @teresatrotter Actually you said "Stupid and frivolous discussions, are the only ones that seem to get the most comments" It's not that I disagree with you entirely but maybe what you think is 'stupid' is what someone else considers interesting.

I just heard the news that actor Gene Wilder has died aged 83. Of course, he was the star of many films but I will always remember him as Willy Wonka in the film version of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Yes,...

fizzytom Yes, I believe that some people who have Asperger's are prone to taking language very literally. But it must be really difficult to avoid all idioms because they are a huge part of the English language. You have inspired me to try to spend a whole day without...
