Hello all I'm new around these parts...just dropped over to borrow a cup of sugar and say hello. Nice list you have here. My but this talk of Primrose Hill has me mighty homesick. I hope someone won't mind bringing me along in spirit. For my part, I'll be mentally taking along some great caesar salad. I'm wondering - are all the colloquialisms and cultural references complete gobbledygook for non-uk-listees? I mean Wogan, pish, Ronnie Corbett, Diamond White, et al. These are things that take some explaining - I mean Jim'll Fix It....where do you start? (maybe "he was a blonde man with a denim magic chair with secret compartments and he could grant the wishes of little children....")Perhaps an appendix with definitions, purely for comedy factor alone. Would any of our American listees care to respond with some things that would sound strange across the ocean? Like cheese food, cookie dough, and that bee guy from the Simpsons (he's real you know - has his own show even) Pardon me for waffling, but it's a slow day out in the sunshine and smog, and I'm getting more than a touch misty eyed from this talk of an English Summer, the dole, being a student, etc. Even the word "thesis" is starting to sound strangely romantic. Here's my real question - does anyone happen to have a copy of "Grey Skies Blue" by the Submarines I think - I've not got any of my old records out here and if anyone could tape it for me I'd be most obliged. And it's goodnight from me Richard ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
