I wear boxers under trousers but for sports I usually wear a brief.

I decided to give the new book a miss.

The poster for the mission, which is officially called NROL-101, sports a pretty clear Lord of the Rings theme, featuring a pair of interlocking golden rings and the phrase goodness persists written in both English and Elvish Tengwar script, the fictional language dreamed up entirely by author J.R.R. Tolkien himself.

For instance, when I was nineteen years of age I got engaged to a lovely fella who later married my supposed bride’s maid or maid of honour—I was emotionally shattered but not destroyed.
