What ho, chaps - just dashing off a little missive to inform the list
that I shall be in jolly old England from tomorrow until July 14th. I
shall still be around and working as normal most of that time, but
obviously keeping slightly different hours.
Tally ho!

I agree with poc old chap, you talk like that and they will think you
barmy or a git. Just remember, stiff up lip and have a brew on and Bob's
your uncle (or so I just read on the internets).
Oh and don't forget Independence Day on the 4th. I've heard they love to
celebrate that. Pack your flags and fireworks =P.

May you bicycle from Land's End to, oh, the far north of Scotland. The
very far north. Or sail the seas! Or at least walk the Roman walls. Just
don't drive, petrol costs far too much.

Keep the fireworks for Nov 5, it's much in the mind of the Poms at the
present, or so I've heard.

To do a quick round-up of everyone's jokes: my dirty secret is that I
am, in fact, English. Recoil in horror all you like, it's true - I only
moved to Canada in 2004.
Even more frighteningly, I did my degree at an institution where there
actually are still people who talk like that. Unironically. Not many of
them any more, but still!
I don't drive, and there's sod all to do at Land's End or John o'
Groats, so that one's out. I am going to Wales tomorrow, though.
I have once celebrated St. George's Day. On a boat, on a river, with a
large quantity of beer involved. I have a picture of the son of a rather
famous author, in said boat, after consuming a significant proportion of
said beer, waving the flag of St. George and looking mighty heroic. And
the boat didn't even capsize. Ah, that one was fun.
I'm in Manchester now ("there's a high pressure system coming through,
so there's a chance of showers," said the flight attendant as we were
landing - this is Manchester, I thought, there's never not a chance of
showers. There's a chance of showers when you're _indoors_), and heading
to Wales for a couple of days tomorrow. I'll try and make it to the
BugZappers and QA meetings, but please don't hate me too much if I
don't :)

Several of my closest relatives speak like that also. At least one
uncle never found Jon Cleese's gentlemen funny... bad show (or such
thing).

But the big question is that while you were on the River, did you meet
a Rat, a Mole, and a Toad? If so they owe me a dinner of bangers and
mash.

Inquiring minds want to know, etc etc :o)
... how long ago? How famous? Is or was the author an alumnus of the
same institution?

It did seem odd to me, "Blighty." I don't hear that much hear.
I have an Australian friend who throws in the occasional "Tally ho." I
don't think he does it to be funny, it seems pretty natural an unconsidered.
