I wasn't sure if it was the same for all states as we tend not to have many guys from further North. It amuses me watching them eat steak. They'll hold the fork in their left hand like you would a dagger and stab the steak with it, then saw the meat with the knife, then they'll put down the knife and transfer the fork to their right hand to put the food in their mouth. Many of them don't even take a knife to the table.

That's the spirit, show the colonials how it's done in the civilised (with an s) world

When I was a tiny lad, my parents took the family to Legoland in Billund. I was very proud of getting a driving licence from the driving school there.

20-ish years later, I walk into the same driving school and they renew my licence for me. I is well pleased!

Just thought I'd give a heads-up to this little blog thing (couldn't find it elsewhere in thread) which has kept me amused at work for the last few days: 1000 Awesome Things. A list of 1000 (eventually) of those everyday things that make you feel good. My fave so far is #879 - The Parking Lot Pull-through (where you find two spaces together so you can drive in and drive out).

Picking up a calligraphy pen, dipping it in ink and writing something that looks beautiful.

Now it's the opposite - see people at work every (working) day and missing the meets.

I wouldn't suggest the result is delight, but not vegetating at home is certainly a good thing.
