Angus - Just so you know, there's no worry of a big thing for me. When I read your comment originally, I gulped, because I was trying to be if not ironic, then at least cute in using it. I'm with you and wouldn't want it to become a straight line, either. When Jim also mentioned it, I realized it was being taken that way. I just wanted to clear up that I wasn't using it entirely seriously. Originally, I used it either to or about Z, and I was using it as a way to say pain in my arse, rather than come out and say it, because that felt mean. But I hear you and agree. UnBuffista-ly is entirely unBuffista-ly. ;)
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Oh for those desperately seeking various British goods in the U.S. - have you tried an Indian (as in from India) shop? Most areas in the U.S. do have a substantial Indian population; and Indian shops generally carry a huge selection of British sweets, not to mention amazing bargains on spices, and the odd tin of marmite and vegamite.

The only American Nigel I've met was a cat, owned by an Anglophile.

You know what I miss? Jaffa Cakes
YES! Loved those things. When I was with friends in Scotland, we bought some while on one of our little day trips, and we won a stuffed animal (whatever the thing was that came to steal the orangey goodness, I forget the name). Except we couldn't really win it becuase you had to have a UK mailing address! Mean!
And I can find Pims that are very similar, but are just not the same (and are like, $4 a box, so...).
Supposedly there's a British Store in northern Virginia, somewhere near where I used to live, but I never did find it...

All cats are British.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All cats are British.
Except the ones who are French.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I thought all cats were French.(well, at least according to Jon Carroll they are.) They understand English when it suits them to...

Are actual pie-flavoured chips now available in Oz?
This is a bit belated and I can’t believe I’m gonna de-lurk over something as inauspicious as Smiths and their strange taste-experiments, but yes, the pie-flavoured chips do exist (or they do in my obscure Canberra-esque corner at least). The ads have been strangely persistent about it - they don’t really explain why we needed pie-chips, but there you go, ;).
