I'm watching an episode of Foyle's War (British crime procedural set during WWII, quite good) and the following conversation just took place --

American Captain: I want someone to come out and give us a talk
Foyle: A talk on what?
American Captain: The English! None of my boys has ever been out of the States before and, frankly, for some of them they feel as if they've landed on another planet. I need someone to come out and tell us what goes on around here ... Until two weeks ago, I didn't even know what a kipper was. We need help.
Foyle: I can see that.

It's not just fandom!

Oh, and if you follow nothing else at azkatrazathome , do come and check out the drawbles that are appearing in the CCD threads. So very wrong ...

And I take it this means you've never seen Red Dwarf, nor had anyone say 'Smoke me a kipper, skipper, I'll be home for breakfast'? ;-)

(they're yummy, BTW. And I have been craving fish aLl day, so I wish I had one!)

they eat fish for breafast? eeeuuuch. i'll stick to milk and cereal. ;p

(i love fish, but i think it'd come out the wrong way if i had it for breakfast...)

Fish for breakfast is delicious! Tell me you've never even had smoked salmon with your scrambled eggs ...

sounds like something i'd eat only when i wake up so late that lunch and breakfast end up being the same thing.

fish is lunch food! or dinner if there's leftovers from lunch. :p *iz picky eater*
