Dear parent,

When your child is running around in a public place being an annoying little pain in the arse, how about bringing the little turd under control instead of looking at people with that goofy grin on your face that says "surely you find his/her behaviour as adorable as I do". No, I/we clearly do not.
Literally the story of the open training session. A group of five or six feral kids were throwing ice at each other (hitting another patron), then throwing their cups at each other and running in the walkways and ducking around people. The parents stood there having a chat, then there was a bit of a "stop doing that" which the kids naturally ignored and continued throwing their trash all over the ground. Sigh.

You might be interested in this Portia:

Besides dodging naysayers, the film's scored another notable win, bucking Hollywood's trend for under-paying its lead actresses.

Jones, who's garnered the major share of the film's praise for her starring role as Rebel fighter Jyn Erso, was "by far the highest-paid castmember", the Hollywood Reporter notes.

"Coming off her best actress nomination for The Theory Of Everything, Jones was able to negotiate for a seven-figure upfront salary... Her other castmates, including Diego Luna and Ben Mendelsohn, took home significantly less, not cracking mid-six figures," the trade paper reports, calling it a "watershed moment" in the industry.

Maybe if she had settled for less they would have been able to include more female roles in the movie :p :D
The only actress/or of significant note gets the most money? Not exactly a watershed moment. Other than her the only big name is Forrest Whitaker, and he isn't in it enough to command a bigger salary.

Mrs Holder's best friend is a hippie. Visited yesterday and, for Christmas, gave the kids a bat roosting box (to share) to hang in a tree in the back yard to encourage bats to take up residence.
Daughter's stunned silence was interpreted as 'speechless with joy'.
