I don't follow much celebrity stuff, so the last things I heard about Elton John were a story about how he became a drug addict, being sued by an employee for harassment and a super-injunction preventing the UK press reporting on some tittle tattle. I was going to say that the stories must have been big to have spread into the main news, but I imagine the press having a field day and reporting it everywhere to get the clickbait in, and being piously enraged when they can't get their way. That was a long time ago. Like more than 30 years ago. Since then, he's gotten sober (and he's the only celebrity who I actually *believe* when he claims he hasn't once relapsed in 3 decades) and dedicated himself to various LGBTQ causes and other social activism. He was once every bit as reckless and childish as his peers. Unlike them, he's grown up.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

It's very admirable of someone to grow up. Many people cannot do that.

For those in a relationship, it's also a good idea to let your partner be childish sometimes. Within limits.

He'll do it whether I let him or not. 
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

I wouldn?t know about that having never been in a relationship. If you have a kitty, that still counts as a relationship. You know, the kind where you're the servant and the kitty's the deity. But still...

Our eldest dog always sleeps on my parents' bed, in between them. Every time. He will jump in between them. He's very possessive of my mother.

There's a certain quality in the laugh of visitors, containing a delighted tone with a hint of future blackmail, as they see me pander to the whims of kitties in a way they know I'd never do for them.

On my first shopping run post-virus shutdown I got a bag of cat food and 3 bags of cat treats. The cashier noted it and said ?can?t run out of that, can we??

Paying dearly for things was what happened with some price gougers a few weeks back, before there was some official response.
I didn't stockpile kitty food in one go, I just bought a small amount extra with each shop over weeks before the lockdown. It lasts a while before it has to be used, and depriving another kitty of its food would get me in trouble. *they're * not on lockdown, and they talk.

People who broke quarantine also paid dearly in fines! Including those silly people who held "I am invincible to the coronavirus ha ha ha" parties (and some of them ended up getting it too)

We're not in complete quarantine. Amongst other things, we can currently leave the house for exercise. Once a day and local and keeping social distancing in place, and basic common sense, like not meeting up with people etc. Fortunately, I live next to a little park and have gone round it.

The restrictions are even looser here in the Netherlands. You can go out as often as you want, though it's highly recommended (and somewhat enforced) to keep 1.5 meters away from others unless you are a pair of people going about. I do see families of 3, 4 or more standing close to one another though, but they are clearly families.

There are people alive today who have never known a world without the Simpsons.

They must have been under some pressure to actually call them that. I winder just how many "D'Ohs!" people called Simpson have had to put up with.
