To do a quick round-up of everyone's jokes: my dirty secret is that I
am, in fact, English. Recoil in horror all you like, it's true - I only
moved to Canada in 2004.
Even more frighteningly, I did my degree at an institution where there
actually are still people who talk like that. Unironically. Not many of
them any more, but still!
Several of my closest relatives speak like that also. At least one
uncle never found Jon Cleese's gentlemen funny... bad show (or such
thing).
I don't drive, and there's sod all to do at Land's End or
John o'
Groats, so that one's out. I am going to Wales tomorrow, though.
I have once celebrated St. George's Day. On a boat, on a river, with a
large quantity of beer involved. I have a picture of the son of a rather
famous author, in said boat, after consuming a significant proportion of
said beer, waving the flag of St. George and looking mighty heroic. And
the boat didn't even capsize. Ah, that one was fun.
But the big question is that while you were on the River, did you meet
a Rat, a Mole, and a Toad? If so they owe me a dinner of bangers and
mash.
I'm in Manchester now ("there's a high pressure system
coming through,
so there's a chance of showers," said the flight attendant as we were
landing - this is Manchester, I thought, there's never not a chance of
showers. There's a chance of showers when you're _indoors_), and heading
to Wales for a couple of days tomorrow. I'll try and make it to the
BugZappers and QA meetings, but please don't hate me too much if I
don't :)
Have a good trip.
