I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah ha ha! That's even funnier than if it were authentic.

A reminder: UK Being Human, series 4, starts tonight.

I've set the box, but haven't decided if I'll be watching yet.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I haven't seen it yet. It took me awhile to acquire it.

I haven't summoned up the energy to watch it yet (apparently it is quite plot-heavy). This does not bode well.

i'll refrain from saying anything further until you've seen it. i will say...it's a definite game changer.

I downloaded it, but nothing about the promo materials has me interested in taking that next step.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I just saw it. Wah. I should have pretended it ended at season three.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

A guy in his 30s from the UK is working for a U.S. company. One of the women at this company wants to know if the following behavior would tolerated in the UK:

One guy is about mid-30s, runs around calling women "dear", asking for them for kisses and hugs, such as:

Marketing Manager: _x_, have you had a chance to look at this report?
_x_ from UK: Not at all my lovely girl and I won't do so until I get a kiss.

Recently, marketing and sales managers were conversing in a hallway about the latest reports,

"Good morning my lovelies. How about a kiss?" (leans in, pointing at cheek, apparently hoping that they pull him into their arms.)

I told her that, regardless of UK customs, HR should have a conversation with him about U.S. sexual harassment law, since he is not currently in the UK.
