"talking with English accents." 'British accents' would be safer (Prof. Laurence Eaves sounds Welsh to me personally, so calling hime English would likely be insulting if he is).

My dad always told me it was the sound of waves, rather than the sound of the ocean. Turned out he was right, just not the type of wave he was probably refering to...

Because it was a "gift" for them? Like, if I buy my wife a ring, it becomes "my wife's ring". Same deal?

You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think.

Exactly, this isn't just Apple, or even the US. I used to do a lot of retail work in the UK; every single place had more or less the same policy regarding theft: If someone wants the money, give them the money, wait for them to leave and then call the police. Ifsomeone heads for the door without paying for Item X,…

Yeah, but she's never actually a villain, she just appears to be one. Still a brilliant twist though.

No, he only wishes he had.

They Just Keep Killing Rory...

Leather jackets are 'xpensive?

Not working for me at all. The rude stuff never seems to - I call unfair ;)

Mine was probably Ender's Game. I really enjoyed the early Potter novels, but the last two just left me cold (and it wasn't that they were badly written as such, just that they seemed to be huge for the sake of being huge - stuff happens, but not enough to warrant the size). That said I didn't think they were world…

"All squadrons ahead, half speed, with energy probes on!" From Last Starfighter is a doozy. As a friend of mine loves to point out, it's a sci-fi movie, you're supposed to use words like "Activated," "powered up" or "Raised" - "on" just makes it seem like he wants to boil some water for his tea - really…

It's old enough to make the argument invalid - it or originated as a Jack, which meant "Flag up a pole" as much as "Flag on a Ship" at the time, so either is perfectly valid, and popular consensus has a preference for Union Jack. So yeah, you could correct people and say flag every time they say jack, or you could…

Funny, I thought he was an Italian plumber. Y'know from Italy? Which is closer to the UK?

Agreed.

Goodyear is apparently planning to phase them out over the next few years though - replacing them with Zeppelins (I'll bet everyone still calls them blimps though). Also, you can use the word dirigible in place of airship if you want to sound fancy (if there's a difference in the meaning I'm unaware of it).

Full cooked breakfasts, British bacon in general, British prepackaged sandwiches (really, try one on both sides of the pond, US ones are TERRIBLE), British chocolate, gravy, pie, fish and chips and bread, and cheese... All these (IMO) are better in the UK than the US brethren (Though I can't comment on how they fair…

I think Robin Curtis' biggest issue was she was too good at playing a Vulcan. Vulcans played straight are kinda dull and not terribly interesting as characters, while the most interesting ones are those who let their emotions just peep through a tiny bit. Ms. Curtis played the emotionless aspect of being a Vulcan…

There's a patch for that I believe.
