is gammon and spinach a common meal in Britain?
Not in my family. However, Google UK provides 21 hits, of which slightly less than half are the children's song.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Angus, I understand what you mean about the crying. Since I've been taking anti-depressants, I cry a lot less (belieive it or not) but when I watched Angel Season ! "I Will Remember You" I was just a wreck. I felt like Buffy in the "But theirs was a perfect love" sobbing episode. Was that Triangle?

So, "The Office" really is good? I've seen ads on BBC-America but none of them seemed funny. (Plus, lots of Thursday night conflict.)

It goes all the way past funny into excrutiatingly painful and cringe-making. IMHO. I can't watch it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I watched most of it. It was hilarious, and painful. In a good way, but intensely watch-from-the-hall. I had to switch channels after the boss (what's his name?) tells his secretary that he's firing her, and then tells her it's a practical joke. I was literally squirming with embarrassment.
Edit: or, what Am-Chau said.

So, is gammon and spinach a common meal in Britain? Social/cultural connotations behind it?
Gammon stake with chips and peas. Classic pub meal. Very yummy.

So it's very "watch from the hall"?

Imagining cured pork cut into a slice the shape of a pointy oblong, surrounded by chips and peas. Are the peas mushy (shudder)?

sumi, I thought so. But definitely very funny, and sort of absurdist, in a real-life way. Am I making any sense? Should I go to bed now?
