If you don't have enough repeated names you get lots of very bizarre ones instead, like Ulleskelf where we live.  If you are ever short of names for a story look up a british gazetteer, no shortage of odd nameplaces here, not too many Springfields either.

I originally come from Newcastle, and there's plenty of those around, even where there's no old castle never mind a new one.

And Footle, I've told you a million times not to be sarcastic, oh, I think I got that one wrong.

why didn't they simply make them White Oaks 1 and White Oaks 2? One of the two must be oldest...

Yalahii.

White Oaks sounds like a golf course to me.

Nyah Cricket was invented by the Almighty! Tall distinguished gentleman dressed all in white with a long flowing beard....

No, that was W.G Grace ;)

We'll have the full schedule here soon, but I think I'm at the University Book Store, and it's probably November 13th.

As long as I'm allowed to jam instead of just doing the same thing every night.

Are you actually going to be doing stuff like that? I hope you tour around here.

Now that I think of it, it'd be really funny to just up and cause a ruckus during question-asking time, claiming to personally know you. It'd be embarrassing as hell, but it'd give you a reason to be like, "Well, folks, obviously this isn't working out. I'm going to have to leave now."

Let's talk.

I'm going to go distract myself by watching The Ring. Alone. For the first time. Babysitting. I just know this is a bad idea.

Yes. Good luck anyway. I know I'd never make it thru, by myself.

No I have not seen it.

But I will tell you about my ring experience.  I was watching it by myself (big step I am a big chicken when it comes to watching scary movies).  My husband had already watched it and taped it for me. 
To be honest I was not watching it by myself.  I was in the room with my husband who was asleep.  While I was watching it the lights went out, because of a power failure.  It was not too far into the movie, it was when they were at the mental hospital.  The lights flickered and then it went black.  It was about 12 at night.  Then they came back on.  I was afraid to finish the movie, so I emailed a friend, and I felt better then I got brave and finished watching the movie.  I did not think it was too scary, except for the lights going out.  I was more freaked out about that then anything that happened in the movie.

Heh. Poor Marian. I felt the same, myself, after that movie.
