I do too, but there a lot of things they are best not mixed with. Like bread.

--- Quote from: pwhodges on 11 Feb 2013, 00:03 ---Throughout South East England, "up to town" commonly means going to London; trains are referred to as "up" or "down" depending on whether they are going to or from London. When I lived in a village outside Oxford I would say "into town" meaning Oxford as opposed to "up to town" for London.

Interesting - in Oxford do the students talk about coming up for term, even though they may well live north of the city? We do it here and I find it odd, but the London thing might explain it as we're up from London?
I think MartenMom does in fact mean Black Flag.
pwhodges:
Yes, students here also "come up" (and if they are bad, may get "sent down").
"Up" clearly relates to approaching the perceived centre of the universe. :wink:
Soulsynger:
That must've been one AWKWARD rehearsal dinner.
Martenmom: "This is boring!"
Martendad: "Don't worry honey, it'll be awesome once the elephants go apeshit over the hardcore punk!"
Or am I missing something here?

I don't know why, but this makes me laugh. :D
I find it very interesting that the Reeds are so casually talking about their own (failed) wedding just before Henry's second one is about to happen. That was a very carefully avoided subject at my brother's second wedding.
