I agree. I watch too much British TV. I got hooked on EastEners a few years back so that's four episodes a week right there. I also like the classic British shows. Vicar of Dibley is one of my favorites.

I don't know why we don't get panel shows over here. QI, Have I Got News For You, and Mock the Week are great.


QI is being shown on BBC America now. Nevermind the Buzzcocks is a funny show.

I wish there was a "not like" button. Try and stay warm, I hope you don't get sick from all that. :(
Oh, I'm already sick. I've had a cold that's now affecting my asthma. Been on nebulizer treatments and oral steroids. Probably need antibiotics; I'll call my doctor tomorrow and get the okay to start on them. Since I'll be snowed in.

We called another towing service. They'll be here in 25 minutes

I remember a lot of tuna sandwiches and sliced cheddar cheese sandwiches in my school sack lunches. :)

I never had Tuna until I was well into adulthood. Never had a cheese sandwich either, unless it was grilled cheese at home. We only could stay at school for lunch if it was bitter cold, I lived a mile away and my Mom when I was young did not drive. So I walked or rode my bike. We had indoor bike racks down a ramp into the basement of the school. But a Mile going, 2 miles round trip at lunch and a mile home. Reason why we kids were all skinny.

By the time we'd get home at lunch we'd eat and turn around and go back. If the weather was wet or snowy my Mom and neighbor Moms would give us all lunch money and we'd go to the Plush Pup or to the Coffee House for lunch which was right across the busy road from our elementary school. By Junior High we could stay for lunch and there was hot lunch available which I did in both Jr & High School. By then my Mom was back teaching 2 towns over and it was easier to just give us money. As soon as my kids hit high school they got lunch money for the week too, that was the first time lunch could be purchased at school for my kids. While our middle school here has a cafeteria it was never functional while my kids were in the system, just not enough kids in district to cover the costs I was told.

Cousins come in all ages. Jennifer might already have a great grandpa. Let me find out for you.

Paging: @JenniferS , do you currently have a great grandpa anymore? (Not a grandpa, but a great grandpa?)
I'm an orphan :cry: and Bro #2 has declared the rest of us dead to him.
I'll take any and all wanna-be relatives who are willing to join this bat-ship crazy family.

I feel so uncultured around all of you...

Parents: American
Grandparents: American
Great Grandparents: one Native American and the rest...American.
My mom's family were Dutch immigrants that settled in Virginia in the early 1800s. They eventually made their way to Texas until the Depression hit and they moved north looking for jobs which brought them to NE Ohio.

My dad's family were Scots-Irish immigrants that came over in the 1840s and settled in West Virginia Appalachia. After serving in WWII the men were offered jobs working in steel mills instead of coal mines so they moved to NE Ohio.

Dad met mom in '57 at a drive-in restaurant where her best friend was a carhop. :) That's my history.

I love Leslie Neilson and found the first seven minutes funny but could you give a synopsis of the rest. I missed the point of the episode I'm sorry.
not an episode, its the first movie.
after the first series sort of tanked.. they made 3 movies after.
the first was VERY popular.

The major problem with that plan would be about how to develop a way to prevent you from freezing solid within the first 5 minutes of your arrival.
well, I survived Alaska.
The coldest was definitively Tracy's Arm.

I survived with the appropriate clothing.
but it was never below 0Celsius.

When the gigantic snow day happened in calgary, it was -10 I think. (record snow levels or so they said)
but I never went outside, I was inside the airport all the time.

There's freezing weather in Calgary in Sept??????????????????????????????????:eek:
ayup.. record snows on the day I was supposed to return.
thanks god only minor delays.

Good thing we Canadians do not have any oddly spelled words.
You do have them, but, I'm not sure if they are oddly spelled words or words spelled by the odd! They are colourful though, eh!:rolleyes:
Really??!! One of your schools must have been way out in the country, maybe near old farms?
There were a lot of public places that still had outhouses right up into the early 1960's.:in pain:

No, it's a New England thing!! :p In school, we always called then bubblers!
Southern New England. Northern New England had more culture.;) Foolishly, we called them drinking fountains. Just shows you how little we knew.:)
