lexie,
To be honest, I've never really noticed before - will have to keep a look-out in future.

We still don't have any new episodes of how to look good naked. I wonder if the british version is on BBCA. I'll have to look

As a Englishman I have just spent an enjoyable evening reading 33 pages of sometimes very funny comments on different subjects. But how did a question on petrol, end up with Dr Who?

Going back to page, in the middle somewhere, talking about the english language.
I have a Mac laptop, and when I am using pages [word ] I type the word colour, it comes up that I have spelt the word wrong. why don't mac have a proper english version.

It would seem we are both rather inquisitive about the other's cultural terminology, movies, TV programs and such.

Oh my, that is the most annoying thing in the world to me! Even when I set Microsoft Word to the Canadian English, it still sets itself back to American English and then tells me I'm wrong on a whole lot of words.

It's Microsoft and Mac - both "American" companies.
I'm not sure if they're capable of getting it right.

Did you watch Waking the Dead yesterday Manda? I was more hooked than usual and can't wait for tonight's episode.
I watched the thing about the doctor who hears voices... I had major issues with her therapist...

I know many of are not big fans of Wire in the Blood...but I'm getting hooked. I watched a 2 hour episode last night I had recorded that was very intriguing.
Course, it was followed by BBCA Real TV with a story about men who have actual relationships with...dare I say...blow up dolls??? All I saw were the previews of which I promptly fast-forwarded through.
What in the world?  I nearly choked on my tea when I saw that.

I felt the same, doink. Dh and I just looked at each other mirroring "what is the world coming to!"
