I usually use it (BE) as an excuse not to get anything done at work. But the boy is asleep and I have some free time before I go night, night. Which reminds me you people keep posting thus keeping me up. Ok one more beer and smoke then I’m out. You’re such a bad influence people.

Have fun with your PPT; make sure to have lots of crap flying in and out of the slides.

Re: Differences between UK and USA culture/living
OK I thought of a few other things that strike me as uniquely American:
spelling bees
displayed prices of stuff in shops not including the sales tax
tiny little towns of 500 people having their own police department which is an entirely separate jurisdictional entity from the police department of the tiny little town of 500 people five miles up the road
totally bonkers way of electing a president
