Oh and, yeah, she has a daughter whose father would never take care of her. That measly 70k a year won't begin to cover the cost of her childhood. Ha ha ha ha ha!!

And it was an incredible result in the end, to secure mine and [my] daughter's future - and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with, because you know that's been my life for 20 years. Obviously, the courts do not want a litigating person to do well. It's against everything that they ever wish. So, when they write the judgment up, they're never going to try and make it look in my favour. But all of you that have researched know that it was always going to be a figure between #20 and 30 million. Paul was offering a lot less than that, which you'll see in the judgment - and very much last minute. To put me and Beatrice sadly through this - it's been incredibly sad. So we're very, very, very pleased - and what I'd like to say - being a campaigning girl - is anybody wanting to go through a divorce - try your hardest, man or woman, to settle it immediately. But if you're in an impossible situation - which anybody listening will know that, you know, people don't see eye-to-eye - things get out of hand. You can be a litigating person. It's not easy, but just make sure you do all your research, save yourself a fortune." **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms, and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

In retrospect, I never really know whether her friend was male or female, so I'm not sure if she was breaking the news to me in terms of "he sometimes sleeps with guys" or "he's not *totally* gay". I did think he was officially out as of some time between "Monster" (cf. "King of Comedy", one of the four good songs on the record) and "New Adventures", which still kicks ass (the new one strikes me as "Reckoning" songs with the "New Adventures" sound).

On the latter two, I shall not try. They are dead to me. "Up" is very worthy, however. But it'll sound weird to you... the new record seems to basically pick up where "New Adventures" left off, and of the three records in between, "Up" is the most sonically adventurous (and thus most interesting) of the lot. It should be approached, I suppose, as an imaginary pilgrimage onto alien terrain, where the band has a go at just about everything *except* a normal rock song. The songs are killer, though, and some of the arrangements are really really cool. The way the next two records drift airily back to the dullest part of the REM sound is really dispiriting. - -Rex > I'll get the new one right > away though. > > Michael (REM fan from 1983-1993) Bachman ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:56:26 +0100 From: Sebastian Hagedorn Subject: Re: what the... - -- Rex is rumored to have mumbled on 18.

They are dead to me. I still maintain that "Reveal" isn't all that bad! Maybe it's because it coincided with the great free concert they did here in Cologne right next to the Cathedral, I don't know. The show was a few weeks before the CD was released, so that's how I heard those songs for the first time. Quite memorable, let me tell you! > "Up" is very > worthy, however.
