Got married in December.

(belated) Congratulations! Yay you!

IIRC, your girlfriend used to work for a museum (but not The British Museum anymore), right?

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Yes. I used to work at the British, J works at one of the Oxford universty ones. She's as near as it gets to being a Watcher.

She's as near as it gets to being a Watcher.

Now I'm going to imagine her as that blond Watcher who has written her dissertation on Spike in "Checkpoint", or at least with a similar accent.

Thanks for all the fish.

Jim, let me add my congratulations to NIlly's. That's wonderful news.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Congrats, Jim! I hope you and your lovely Watcher are having a wonderful life together.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Great news Jim! Have you merged your record collections?

She's not a record junky, thankfully - we've been living together since '96, anyway, and if she were there's be even less room in our 2-bed house.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats on the marriage, Jim!

And the U.S. is well behind the times on U.K.-made music. The Darkness is just starting to break through. Franz Ferdinand does guitar rock very well, but harder rock isn't my scene.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Franz Ferdinand. If they haven't crossed the pond yet, they're awesome - imagine all those 1981 Glasgow bands like Orange Juice and Josepf K and (yeah) the Fire Engines, with a lot of Wire-y Art-punk, lashed together with Jarvis Cocker's way with a classic song. And they're in the fucking top 5! Angular, dancey, arty - they're the best new guitar band I've heard in about 5 years.

I need to own this, I think.

Congratulations on your marriage, Jim. I hope you honeymooned in some very exotic outer suburb of London or perhaps even a warmer clime.
