Any word on the Booker Prize winner yet?
edit: Just checked the BBC web site and see that it won't be announced until 10:25 pm BST.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Yeah! Go All Blacks!

I'm assuming they beat Canada, or was that yesterday?
Just looked at the web site. The All Blacks won't be beating Canada until Friday.

Well, that was just sort of a general cheer. I'm patriotic, but I don't actually keep good track of the rugby.

Me neither helentm - as a Canadian we've just been getting updates on how badly our team is being beaten. We have no expections of winning against New Zealand.

Well, it's not like it's a major sport for you guys, right?
What are your big sports? I know about the ice-hockey, but what else?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Here we just call it "hockey". Our other national sport is actually Lacrosse though curling is a national passion.
