You certainly get around Chewy

I would have said @tasotti

Coulson gets 18 months.

I didnā€™t follow this one all that closely. What exactly was Coulson charged with? It strikes me that its 18 months for essentially being nosy and gossiping?

I had a good friend die 18 months ago and it received a good bit of media coverage at time. Coming out of the church there was 3 or 4 photographers on a height across the road obviously snapping the parents and family as they walked behind the coffin. It was absolutely infuriating, I donā€™t know how people do it.
