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.

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?

Probably. Depends who cooked 'em, but probably.

sumi, it's the Platonic essence of "watch from the hall."
Sigh...when you start using terms like "transcend" and "Platonic essence," it really is time to go to bed. Goodnight all.

Sounds like it's bedtime in Australia. Sleep well, Angus. (And Kate, if you've gone too.)

No, I'm still around, though I should be in bed, of course.
'Night, Angus!

Hee. And to think I almost edited.
I can't stand mushy peas I like them bursty.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I'd been warned The Office was painful to watch but ... goddamn! Fuck I laughed though...while squirming in my seat. Most of the work I've done has been on the factory floor, or in the warehouse but I still knew these people. They're everywhere. Except maybe in the US. Not sure how it will translate to US audiences.
On to Buffy.
Hands up who thinks we will see Nancy again. Despite her abrupt departure, I suspect she's going to be a new love interest for Xander.
For some reason the past discussions about these eps surmised CoW pokes were the ones doing the killing of the girls. Not sure how that perception came about b/c it never even crossed my mind that they were involved. Clearly they're in robes, so clearly they're worshippers of something. My first thought was that they're the followers of the Big Bad we keep hearing about.
I really like how this season has started. I was kinda fearful, since I knew Joss must've had minimal time to devote to Buffy b/c of Firefly but those fears have been swept away by two strong opening episodes.
