How do you even know she's a she then?
Ooh, be careful of dodgy ground on that one!How do you even know she's a she then?
. My comment would be, in true Rowan Atkinson style, that Taylor is supposed to be surname!

I'm all but tone-deaf; and the great majority of music, is one of a number of things rapturously acclaimed by many millions -- which I'm afraid leave me cold. Have thought up a bit of fairly dreadful wordplay "re the above" -- "I'm so ignorant that I think these words apply to an exotic bird species which sews an intricate and beautiful nest for itself, out of leaves: the Tailor Swift".Ooh, be careful of dodgy ground on that one!
My wife and I are 69 and 72 respectively, and we like Taylor Swift, but prefer Lana Del Rey.
Still doesn't mean I can recognise her music...
I'm in my mid 50s. Can't say Taylor does anything for me, but big fan of Lana Del Rey and Billie Eilish.
I couldn’t name one record any of those three has sung.
I'll probably be accused of elitism, but not so many years ago "music" meant Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and so on, and I'm not interested in Taylor Swift etc. But it does seem to me that she's a highly intelligent person with a brilliant business sense.
You know your getting older when you remember a time where the media would actually have to do research and investigate things to make an article!
Take it you're not a fan of FoI! Although misuse, or over-use, may be rife we'd be much more ignorant without it. In any case, many bodies are extremely reluctant to provide information regardless of its potential importance.
Internet fora….
She does all her own management herself; she most definitely does have very good business acumen.
Not when they are used to make truly poor news articles. But yes I’d agree they can have their uses!
Oh dear I see it! I’ll blame it on the fact that I had to learn everything in 2 languages when growing up! Something has to give.
Oh dear. I may not be as young as I thought.
I think there's a big difference: "the media" ought to get it right and some of it fails spectacularly - anything to do with Reach media for example - presumably because there are no longer sub-editors who, in the past, would have corrected the grammar and spelling. So the moment I come across a media article in which the grammar and spelling are wrong, I disregard it because if the author doesn't know how to write properly why should I believe what he/she has written?
Ah, well, that is me told. But thank you.
Similarly, remembering what date Easter was 30 or 40 years ago is easier than remembering when it was 5 or 10 years ago.
Remembering what date Easter was -- whether one, or a hundred, years ago or anything in between -- strikes me as a superhuman feat (regardless of one's age !); but I'm borderline innumerate: anything in this area of the remembering-stuff field, is totally not in my skill-set.
I only remember the year when Easter Sunday coincided with my birthday earlier this century, though it apparently happened twice in my childhood too that I'd forgotten about. I count myself as numerate, but I don't think this sort of memory has anything to do with numeracy. More a gift cum possible curse.
