Near Lurker:
The way he's springing this on her, she's got every right to turn him down. In fact, it might be setting a bad precedent not to.

They probably live east of Worcester, then, is my point. Northampton's waaay outside the radius where people call Boston "the city."

--- End quote ---
I'm interested to note that in many of the Northamptons (one "h") in the US, there is a parallel usage of "North Hampton" in names of institutions. In the town of Northampton in the UK, there is no such usage that I'm aware of. (Same goes for Southampton.)

Sometimes I've seen it abbreviated "NH," when it's clear from context that can't mean "New Hampshire" or "New Haven," but actually writing it out as two words, especially in CamelCase, is what folks call "wrong."
Daniel Patrick Moynihan:
I'm from upstate NY (I could hit Canada with a baseball if I manage a decent throw from my parents' yard) and if you said going you were going into the city, I would assume you meant either Ottawa or Montreal. I share Faye's disdain of cities in general, and NYC in particular, but I wouldn't pass up a freeish weekend stay in NYC, if only to visit museums while Angus is working.
Throg:
Has it ever been stated if Angus is more conservative, more liberal, etc?
I'm assuming Faye is fairly liberal, but Angus could go either way -- especially if he's employed as a strawman.
Also, I wonder if OWS is gonna show up in the QCverse -- although one would think that'd be very un-QC-like, to hew to any recent events whatsoever.
Mr_Rose:
Angus is secretly a post-fascist anarchist, which is a political affiliation that doesn't actually exist, specifically so that he can take jobs from anyone without feeling bad about it.

--- Quote from: SomeCanadianWeirdo on 19 Oct 2011, 07:12 ---That brings up the question of what kind of background Wil comes from given he went to a private school. I can just imagine it eventually cmoing out that he's from money, and lives like he does to keep his writing "authentic." This would likely not bode well for his relationship with Penelope, who is likely to be rather pissed off at someone "slumming," while she has to work hard to make a living on a barista's salary.

Did I miss something or are you confusing Angus with Wil? Or am I confusing the subject? Or are cucumbers actually pink? ... I gotta get home...
Wow... New York really is the center of the world to New Yorker's, huh?

Only because it's so damn difficult to get out of here =p
