Pub sounds perfect! Though I suppose it wouldn't kill me to get some culture.
All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Pubs are full of culture! Try eating off the loo floor.
Anybody have a UK address I can use to apply for BBC tickets? I'll be in London at the time of the recording, but they won't accept a US mailing address (despite using email)
You can use mine, but I already have a BBC ticket thing registered to it - I'm not sure if that matters or not, but you could use my office address instead? I can send it to your profile addy?
Also, pub it is then, brenda!
Thanks, Jars. I used a FoaF's on FB.
Hey Jars! If you are still up for Friday, just tell me where and when and I'll find it. My cell number is in my profile also so I should be reachable by text.
I just texted you brenda, I hope - I'm never quite sure about American phone numbers. If you don't get it -
Would the steps of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, just off Trafalgar Sq, be okay for you? Say 6.30 or 7?
ita, I spent a few hours over this past weekend chatting with an old school friend of yours, Colin Ferguson!
I have to say it is so simple when there seems to be only one of you (ita) in the world. I didn't have to mention your surname or family, nationality, current geographical location, industry, or even any additional descriptors at all, other than 'ita'.
Wait--where is he now? Last time I spoke to him he was getting on a plane for New Zealand...
I would like to apologise to the other itas who thought they'd snag a user name, etc, first. I think we all assume we own the name outright, and I do try to be first to the finish line where I can.
Well, he may be home by now, but he spent the weekend in Melbourne. Brilliant weekend!
I had a few conversations with him (Niall and Neil too), over the weekend and it wasn't until the second or third time I was chatting to him on the Sunday that I name-dropped you. :)
We were discussing how 'sci-fi/fantasy genre, shows such as Eureka, technology and mythology, Whedon - Avengers to Shakespeare, and so on' work to develop rapport and relationships with my students, thereby helping me better teach technology and computers to teenagers. And you popped into my head.
Well, the look on his face when I suddenly blinked up at him and said something about knowing his friend, ita, was priceless.
ps. Please send positive vibes Melbourne way, my dad has been taken back to hospital (second time in less than 48 hours) and is now in ICU. Pneumonia plus infection/complications.
