And of course it's the land of Doctor Who.

The chips/crisps/fries thing gets terribly confusing. Because no one knows which version you're using. "She said 'chips' with an American accent. She must mean crisps." "No! I wanted fries! Gah!"

I tend to stick to "crisps" and "fries" so that I can avoid the "chips" confusion altogether.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.

Calling someone an arse, twit, prat, berk, clot, twat, rotter, etc. is so much more fun! :-D Editing because I forgot "wanker," lol
