He'd be the one the brothel owners trot out early in the morning when they're trying to get people to go home ... And now I wish I didn't have that in my head. Thank you so much. Ew.

I know about your news. I went through this weird period of dating Americans, and have been over a few times. I had a big argument in a San Francisco cafe when a man told me I could never understand terrorism because I was from the UK. I mentioned we had this quaint little group called the IRA. He shouted: "They're not real terrorists! It's not like they ever blew anything up!" to which I replied "How? How can this be the nation of The New Yorker and Harpers and Frank Capra?" as my friends dragged me away. Luckily I am very short and look pleasant, so people don't tend to hit me.

It's crazy, because I can think of no nation on Earth more hungry for knowledge, yet less devoted to feeding that hunger. No wonder the internet worked ...
