Watched The Avengers last night on one of the movie channels. It was the first time I'd seen it, and oh my god I LOVED IT. So much fun and silliness and Evil and Heroes and Manly Flesh on display. I would watch it again. I would've paid money to see it in a theatre. I may buy the DVD.

I am really glad the BBC explained what a flapjack was in this story, because to me this is a flapjack, and if you threw one at someone it would just sort of go splat and then flop onto the floor.

I keep forgetting that next month is National Poetry Month, and it's almost here.

Okay, so I had to read that article three times and check the date twice to be sure we hadn't got to the 1st April with no one telling me.

I had no idea that flapjacks were different over there! So confusing :S I don't think we have an equivalent of your biscuits - scones are probably closest, but they're not the same.

Of course in the last 10 years in Britain, lots of 'cookie' places have sprung up, so we now use the word a lot, but to mean a very specific type of baked goods (normally larger, flatter, with pieces of something in, and chewy rather than crunchy). I suppose if you over cooked it, you could use it as a throwing disc and the school would have to ban those too...

*g* Yep, I think your biscuits all have a not-tender crust, whereas our biscuits are soft disks of pastry. Sort of like the texture of a croissant, but circle-shaped instead of crescent. OUR LANGUAGES DIVIDE US, JADES. ;-D
