Been grouchy. Pity Neil. Mind you he's on the Civ again. I talk but he doesn't hear a word I say. :-)

I'm at the stage atm where everything back home seems "better" even though objectively it might not be. Just too much to deal with at once. Now I know how Susie felt last year... and know that people coming to England's defence probably won't degrouch me. :-)

Have bought chocolate, Pringles, and Ben & Jerry's, though I'm a little annoyed at their "Full Vermonty" flavor. it should be maple and walnut, not maple and pecan! Southerners use pecans. Maple and walnut, OTOH, is a VERY Vermont combination.

Another thing that makes no sense: The apparent black market in Coke. Why is it that if you go to newsagents and corner stores, the Coke is almost never British? The French and German stuff at least makes some sense but why is so much of it from Thailand? Very odd.
