"Wheresoever the word 'Lodge' appears in the property title, that property will be covered by the 'uppity bastards' clauses of the Minister's confidential briefing of Nov 2007 and that last line is just gold. Thanks for that laugh.

I've lived here too long. When I read "Greenacres" I think Green Acres which is REALLY unfortunate and not at all what this "document" suggests:

Erm... don't watch too much of that, you'll kill brain cells. Yep, they have re-runs of old shows here too and y'know, you have to become familiar with a country's pop culture. *g*

OH GOOD LORD I am now having childhood flashbacks.

Was that really necessary, Drayce? I mean, really?

What's worse, now I'll have that theme song in my head all day.

Also, the hick portion of my upbringing reasserted itself last night when my SO decided it was a great idea to try to watch the fine 1978 film "Convoy." I informed him that he didn't understand how often I had to hear that bloody theme song when I was little. He assured me that I was correct, and he didn't.

Oh dear. XD

And then there was the time a few weeks ago when I was looking for something in our fridge to eat, and realized we had a bunch of leftovers. I decided mixing leftover rice with sausage gravy wasn't such a bad idea, and then realized that could be taken as a really cruel metaphor for my existence. XD

*hangs little head* Hey, I'm suffering too. I've got the bloody thing stuck in my head now. Apparently, I was humming it because one of my colleagues then asked if I'd ever seen Gilligan's Island and now I have that one stuck in my head too. *headdesk*

Decides not to say "you are what you eat." *g* Ah, the poetic symbolism of food.

I don't think this is funny at all *g* So far as I can see, under this Government it's practically canon.

Love it, particularly amused by the last line and it's interesting to see that Americans dont't change when they go and live in the UK!

Right. Thanks for this. I shall name my new house 'Ye 1960s-butt-ugly-concrete-monstrosity-without-any-redeeming-features-whatsoever', sit back, and wait for my regrading to band A (or lower) to appear.
