The missus is making moussakka and there's enough to go round. And with the heat outside, coupled with the inferno that is our kitchen, it actually feels like Greece in these parts today. This is made even more authentic by the fact that I've just looked at my bank balance and I'm fucking skint again, two weeks before payday. However, I somehow doubt that the rest of Europe is going to bail me out on this one.

How does you neck of the woods resemble another part of the world today?

that's the one I can never remember, either. Hasty googling tells me it's Kokytos. Indulge me in being a nosy bastard; what's your degree in?

Oh, Cocytus (bastardised Romanised version), that rings bells
Classics- I do both languages, and this year I have done history courses in Entertainment and the Late Roman Empire.

I'm "revising" at the moment. Fucking coinage reforms.

I have a Hadrian coin that my dear father gave me.
Perhaps you could work that into your exam paper? That must surely be worth MASSIVE POINTS?

'Cocytus' is an ancient venereal disease. Mention that as well.

about how where you live is ace but London is horrible again will you?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 2 Jun 2010, 21:25, Reply)

shootings are such a rarity round here...
will that do for starters?
apart from the bodies littering the streets it's also lovely and clean.
to be fair we live about 40 miles from the carnage.
how many folk in london can say that?
but anyway, it's not about that. is it?
