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.

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

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.
