We're going to start the week off with a confession: Instead of selflessly watching oodles of Britty television to review for you, I have been obsessively watching the American version of The Office. Even though I know exactly what's going to happen with Pam and Jim, the suspense is killing me, and I may or may not have watched numerous episodes in the last two days. And by "numerous," I mean "23." Or so. Shut up.
My obsession with Pam and Jim = borderline psychotic. And now you know.
Nevertheless, I have managed to rustle up some Britty goodness on the Interwebz, and here it is:
Tory Party News of the Weird!
The Tory party chairman is named Eric Pickles! And he used to be a Communist! But mostly I just think "Pickles" is a fabulous surname. It presumably serves as the set-up to lots of obnoxious jokes about foodstuffs. Between that and the fact that he read Leon Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution at age 14, I suspect that Pickles had a difficult time with the other kiddies when he was in school.
Cheese and Pickles sandwich, anyone?
Monarchies are just the cutest!
OMGA!!! (That's "Oh My God Adorable," a long-overdue acronym. You're welcome.) Look at Queen Elizabeth II being all royal and shizz at the annual State opening of Parliament! How cute is it that the British are still playing Monarchy? I just want to pinch their imperialistic little cheeks.
Queen Elizabeth II is just darling in her little queen outfit, isn't she?
Younger Men = Yes, Please
Being an Anglophile isn't just for the proletariate, dudes. In fact, just last week U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton described her English counterpart, U.K. Foreign Secretary David Miliband, as "tall and dashing." I can definitely see it:
David Miliband is nerd-chic, and Hillary Clinton isn't afraid to say so.
In the article, which unsurprisingly A) refers to Clinton as Hillary and to Miliband as Miliband and B) is all over the map on gender relations, the Telegraph sort of asserts the rights of the older woman to think that younger men are hawt. Thanks, Telegraph. You wouldn't happen to have Daniel Radcliffe's phone number handy, would you?
Daniel Radcliffe being all young and beautiful.
Le sigh. If you'll excuse me, I have a daydream to attend to.
