Yeah, well, I may not have a fancy black bathrobe and a hammer like Snooty but I do have slippers and an oatmeal spoon.

Amazon still call the DVD-by-post service Lovefilm.

You can use Netflix US with an IP blocker, I do (from the UK). Lovefilm still has the DVD by post service, which Netflix never bothered with here.

The Jezebel story from February was mostly about pointing out the inconsistencies in her story http://jezebel.com/rape-lie… (and just looking at the top comments on that piece, they mostly think she's probably lying).

Yeah, an American once asked me where I "went to school", and I think my startled response was an only slightly more polite version of "why the fuck would you want to know that?", before I worked out what he meant.

The difference is that those "schools" are part of a university. I think what Arundel means is that school cannot be used to mean university, as it is in the States. So in the US "Where did you go to school?" could be answered by saying "Tufts" or whatever, but in the Uk you wouldnt answer with the name of a…

The Uk uses miles, not kilometres. You may be thinking of France.

Speak for yourself. I do, lots of people do.

Same here. I wonder how much of a fuss the band had to make to get second place

There's that guy who dumps Elaine because she stops to buy the JuJy fruits when he's in hospital, the writer. I'm pretty sure they're an item on a few different occasions (is he also the exclamation mark guy?)

It's not really an "issue", but I've always appreciated The Contest for its matter-of-factness about female masturbation. It's not especially titillating, it does exist. Sneaky feminism.

But most subsequent "adult singles hangout shows" seem to feel it imperative that the characters share apartments (often past the point where it seems likely, as in HIMYM or Friends or New Girl). "They're friends, that's it" still seems quite a radical thought.

"What did you end up giving her?" "Ninety-one dollars."

"Astroturf! You know who's responsible for that, don't you?"

This is great news. Glossy soaps and country music are two things that really do it for me, I love Nashville. I hope next series Avery gets his big break.

I did. I like Community, but it really felt like it they'd exhausted the possibilities of that scenario and characters. I don't feel like Nashville is anywhere near that yet.

JUST TELL ME ABOUT NASHVILLE ALREADY *hyperventilates*

I remember that one where Sayid breaks a man's neck with his feet. And that one where Sayid is in the nip. And the one where Sayid does some torturing. Sayid was great.
