C'mon, Bella! Now you're just talkin' sense.Bella Fortuna wrote:Did you look at any of the previous covers? The US ones are often different, including one instance where the US cover story was "Can you still move up in America?" vs the rest of the world, which had "Mom liked you best: the science of favouritism." Sometimes there are multiple variations amongst the four covers.

Oh, you mean Northern U.S.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Very much like Canada. We do get the same versions of Time magazine, after all.Clinton Huxley wrote:I believe it's rather like Canada but slightly warmer, on average.Geoff wrote:What's an America? One of those mythical places outside the UK?
We've got a better reputation though. "Yankee" is much less pejorative than "hoser". I think.

I've heard that if you go a long, long way in any direction, you fall off the edge. Do you think it's true?
Pray, do not mock me: I am a very foolish fond old man; And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
Blah blah blah blah blah!
Memo to self: no Lir chocolates.
Life is glorious.

I had some SPRINKLES on my ice cream just last night. Right as I was watching a FOOTBALL game in which the players scored touchdown rather than goals.
