I was offered a three-way fairly soon into a relationship with an ex (her best friend was the other party). Both of them were seriously hot, and I was only 20 years old and not expecting the relationship to last.

Nickel Creek is one of those bands that I picked up on by listening to Bob Harris - they're not very well known on this side of the Atlantic, but I have enjoyed everything I've heard on the radio, and on the albums I'v bought.
I will probably give this a go.

Downton Abbey:

The Democratic Republic of the Congo?

I see "Snuff Box", and raise you a "Father Ted" (written by Neil Hanlon of The Divine Comedy IIRC). Properly demonic.

The Bill - I couldn't understand the love for it when it first came on the air. But I felt like a proper grown-up when I was about 13 (three or so years later, when the iconic "walking" credits came in) and started watching it properly.
That opening was epic.

I'd say that's a close second for me, behind the A-Team.

I wish my* cat (pictured in my avatar here) ever had pity in her look. It was always pure detestation.My other cat is just too stupid to have anything other than a blank expression.

Opening with a compliment, and closing with a compliment in order to give feedback is what is known in my peer group as a "shit sandwich". You trust that the bread is nice enough to get the appraisee to swallow the bad news.

You're a masochist. They will never love you back.

"owned" a cat - not possible. It should be ""been allowed to feed and care for" a cat, surely?

My cat eschews the idea of anarchy - she knows she is in charge, and controls the household.

AAARRRGHH! No! Not the bees!

Hey, we're not all angry.
