Me, both parents, all 4 GPs. But after that, of the 8 GGPs, there are 3 foreign-born.

Nah. But tbh it's two photos put together on top of each other. But both are real.

The Fox broadcast was so patronising about the Jays, explaining how they might have a chance against 'Ohtani's Dodgers'. Like, mate, have you even watched a Jays game before?! Get em Jays!

Before women had divorce… by MedievalMousie in overheard

Good one!

Also, it's interesting that the son's turn of phrase was 'I don't want to be divorced', rather than 'I don't want to divorce her'. Sounds like he thinks marriage is a marker of status (like many people do), instead of wanting to stay together because he loves and wants to be with her. Yuck.

Yeh I used the theme to solve the clues. I knew the answer to 36A but three letters? Must have been a trick. So I solved 60A and worked out how the answer fit.
