I was at my sister's church a week ago, and an elderly church lady (with whom we are not acquainted) was sitting at the same table as us. She stirred some sugar into our tea, and then took a miniature bottle of whisky from her handbag and poured a slug into her tea!

See, and here I was thinking it was not a cross-pond thing, but a pointer to an even more boring topic—while I may be interested in mycology and other things fungus-related, I think that a discussion of baking pans would cure even my insomnia!

LeRoc - I thought I had killed this thread. Now I need to think of even more unpleasant or boring thread titles.
Ships Pylon spotters maybe? They do exist Pylon Appreciation Society, and I suspect that they have even less luck with girls than trainspotters. Which is saying something.

OTOH, there are ice "cube" molds of various interesting shapes. Animals, birds, celestial objects, symbols. I think a glaciephile thread might take off.

Does the use of "Leitmotiv" and chordal sequence denote spiritual development in the ancillary mythic characters of Wagner's "Ring" cycle?
Mind you, that does sound too much like a genuine PhD subject!
(I'd go for those 4-4-0 locomotives any day! That's a subject to get one's teeth into).
