why i like the english

for their eccentricity, of course. notwithstanding this insipid, cardigan-wearing age of occupational health and safety, during last week's bank holiday the english were busy in gloucester chasing a wheel of cheese down a very very very steep hill. at least one person usually breaks a leg or an arm while participating in the annual cheese rolling. and what do you get for risking your life in this bizarre pursuit? well, the winner gets to keep the cheese. what else?

We are fabulous aren't we.

Though I wasn't there. I am far too much of a lady to paticipate in such things.

I love how proper they are and sound. They always sound rich, even when they are poor...
