Eleven things I've learned today

1) In departments other than Creative Writing, including the other branches of LLC, lectures actually start on time.

2) Tesco makes ribs to go.

3) Tesco's ribs to go pale in comparison to, say, Chili's.

4) Tesco has no Splenda in jars left on the shelf, and may have discontinued selling it.

5) My mother is willing to send Splenda from Alabama if Tesco has indeed stopped selling it.

6) Strongbow comes in two-liter plastic bottles as well as pints.

7) House of Flying Daggers is gorgeous, but does not end well.

8) My Name Is Earl is actually rather amusing, though partially incomprehensible to those unfamiliar with the accent.

9) In the UK, it's entirely permissible for television shows to use a certain four-letter word verboten on American TV (rhymes with Chuck), but only after nine, when all the kiddies have most assuredly gone to bed.

10) The Man Show could just have a following in the UK. "Juggies" is a concept that translates well.

11) Ian knows the head of the trampoline team. Oh dear.
