I like a man who likes Pooh.

*checks spelling*

I think MN Dave would have liked Pooh too, but he isn't here to ask.

But a man who likes bears is another matter (and another forum) entirely... 

[knight66]

Well, there's bears and then there are bears.

Well, there's bears and then there are bears.

You mean ... there's Rupert ... and then there's Pooh?

[knight66]

That kind of sums it up.

Sure, why not. Now, Rupert and Pooh may come to be very good friends, having bonded over many a good game of pooh sticks.

I just found the myspace and facebook profiles of a friend I haven't even seen for 8 or 9 years. 

I had actually searched several times over the course of 2 years or so, never finding anything. I read a few of his myspace blogs, and he sounds even more like a really intelligent and respectable guy than before- somehow, even though as a kid he was spoiled rotten (he had every video game system there was in his room, tons of games, and a dad that would buy him anything he wanted, etc.).

He also had uploaded some sort of "hibachi" video where he flips spatulas- and it's actually pretty cool because he's good at it.

But, I'm not going to add him as a friend... that would just be awkward...

No! It's 9 PM!

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Care for a cup of tea and some biscuits?

That's the quickest way to a British gent's heart, a nice cup of tea and some biscuits. If you're ever in the UK and get invited to partake in this little ritual, you're in there!

Here's an interesting story from a website with a name that is just typically British.

En francais, a biscuit is a cookie.  What's a biscuit for an Englishman?

Ah the definition of a biscuit...something the British take very seriously. For example, there is much heated pub debating to be done on the subject of whether a jaffa cake (a light sponge with an disc of orange flavoured jelly, half coated in chocolate) is a biscuit, or in fact a small cake. I am not joking, this conversation happens with alarming regularity - many Brits of all generations will have had the discussion - i'm sure someone will back me up on that.

Thanks for the link, Benji. After reading that, I plan on catching some Zeds ... have quite a bit of work ahead of me tomorrow. Good day to you, sir.

And a good day to you too, kind sir. Sleep well old chap.

I say! Pip pip and all that rot!

Speaking of Rupert: it always puzzled me that at Christmas or on birthdays Rupert and his chums always received the same presents (albeit differently distributed each year). They were always, I seem to recall, sport-orientated: a football, a cricket bat, a model yacht, and a tennis racket, and that was pretty much the limit as far as imaginative gifts went. It always struck me as the only serious drawback to living in Nutwood.
