it comes in pints?

That's not useless. You never know when an impromptu game show will break out in the street.

True, Ken. I didn't consider that.

Seriously - I cannot stop laughing. That is so random.

Isn't it? I mean, if anybody in Pink Floyd were in the Guinness Book of World Records for something not related to music, it would have to be something that weird.

Nick actually woke up one morning and said "today, I will bake the world's largest crumpet."

No - we were not a drug band!

Uhm. Okay.

Sheila - hahahahaha.

In case any Americans don't understand, the British "crumpet," I have learned courtesy of kind British people, would be what we call in America "the English muffin." I had no friggin' idea. All these years eating English muffins and not having any idea what "crumpets" could possibly be. Ha ha!

Actually, a (English) muffin isn't the same as a crumpet. Nor is it the same as a drop-scone, but less us gloss over that for now.

You know, we had both crumpets *and* muffins (Engerlish and Merkan, natch) in the house last week. If is so happens again, I shall take photographs for you, so you can see the differences.

*tsk* How very _uncivilised_ out there in the colonies.

Argh...somebody posted a picture for me of a crumpet and it looked like an English muffin...or the closest thing we have out here in the "colonies."

I reckon Cambridge has turned you into a snob, Stray T! A man from Northern Ireland telling someone else they're "uncivilized"! I mean, really!

*snigger*

ST, we don't say such things in this country. We say "sn-word".

Ken, that actually made me snort tea out my nose. Undignified, especially when I had to explain why to cow-orkers.

What's a "cow-orker"? Is that some British thing?

gah. A geek joke.

Okay. Now I get teh joke.

I was afraid it was a Bingley thing.

"Sn-word"... I'm dying. Line of the week, Ken.
