I was really old before I learned how to pronounce Eton.
It was the silent "qhx" dipthong that always messed me up on that word.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought it was Eh-ton. I knew the Brits pronounced things funny -- sinjin and Beauchamp and whatnot.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was really old before I learned how to pronounce Eton. One of those things that was in books, but nsm conversation.
I learned the pronunciation from Withnail and I.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't know what I was watching, but apparently Charles & Camilla are actually going to the Town Hall (can't do it at the church, and were they to do it at the estate, then every old Tom, Dick & Harry could by virtue of it being licensed) where they will sit in some tiny little clerk's office. And the Queen said she will not attend because she is head of the church.

From my understanding the Archbishop of Canterbury and Tony Blair are both supposed to go the wedding and have to go to the funeral.

A-ha! This is what happens when you're fancy -- your no-big-deal town hall wedding includes people like that.

What is even happening?
What I can't figure is that Bush is making a big "Go Pope! Choose Pope!" public statement, given that much of his very-religious-right base considers the Pope a Very Bad Thing.
Not really. There are more evangelicals than there are fundamentalists, and I've even seen quotes (nice ones) from Southern Baptists about the Pope, wrt not only to reproductive issues (which would be their obvious bond) but evangelism, and ecumenism.

You know, I'm starting to hate Summerland. Or more specifically, hate Braden.
Some of the rest is just getting boring.
