Just no to the bribe, or no to being familiar with Monty Python?
No to the bribe. I'm somewhat familiar with Monty Python.

LOL, that's ok... whenever I see Heros is on, I think of you because I know you watch it. I just couldn't keep up with it when I tried watching it ~ just seemed too disjointed.

Did any of you watch the BBC program "State of Play"? Did it run on regular tv there for ya'll or was it like a movie (series) just made by BBC?

Question for the Americans:
I was reading a book (British) and it said that you can't get Kinder Surprises in the US. Is that true?

I have no clue what Kinder Surprises are.
It means that surprises in the US are much kinder than those you might find elsewhere.
what? that's not it?

Well, I'm officially hooked on Wire in the Blood. The current season anyways.
One of the most fascinating things is that it's a two-hour series every week. In the U.S. anything longer than an hour is a mini-series or movie.
I record it so I can watch a little at a time when I have the chance. I actually figured the one out this past week before it was into the second hour.

We have the Cadbury Creme Egg, but it's not the same thing. Sorta similar though.

We watched a bit of this the other night...but we caught the very tail end of it so it didn't make much sense to us. But it looked really good!
It's kind of a more intense Criminal Minds.

Very well could be. I bought a cadbury milk chocolate bar the other day as a rare treat and was telling Joel how much I love British choco. and when I looked at the label I was disappointed to see Hershey, PA on it! Oh well...

My personal favorite British candy (chocolate) is the Aero Bar...the mint flavor. So delish! My sister found them *once* at one of our local grocery stores...but I've not had any luck since. And I have no idea how to order them online!
