What ho, chaps - just dashing off a little missive to inform the list that I shall be in jolly old England from tomorrow until July 14th. I shall still be around and working as normal most of that time, but obviously keeping slightly different hours.
Tally ho!

Talk like that and you may not make it back :-)

I agree with poc old chap, you talk like that and they will think you barmy or a git. Just remember, stiff up lip and have a brew on and Bob's your uncle (or so I just read on the internets).
Oh and don't forget Independence Day on the 4th. I've heard they love to celebrate that. Pack your flags and fireworks =P.

May you bicycle from Land's End to, oh, the far north of Scotland. The very far north. Or sail the seas! Or at least walk the Roman walls. Just don't drive, petrol costs far too much.

You'll need to wait until 6th of September for our independence day - the day the Mayflower left. ;)

Keep the fireworks for Nov 5, it's much in the mind of the Poms at the present, or so I've heard.

To do a quick round-up of everyone's jokes: my dirty secret is that I am, in fact, English. Recoil in horror all you like, it's true - I only moved to Canada in 2004.
Even more frighteningly, I did my degree at an institution where there actually are still people who talk like that. Unironically. Not many of them any more, but still!
I don't drive, and there's sod all to do at Land's End or John o' Groats, so that one's out. I am going to Wales tomorrow, though.
I have once celebrated St. George's Day. On a boat, on a river, with a large quantity of beer involved. I have a picture of the son of a rather famous author, in said boat, after consuming a significant proportion of said beer, waving the flag of St. George and looking mighty heroic. And the boat didn't even capsize. Ah, that one was fun.
I'm in Manchester now ("there's a high pressure system coming through, so there's a chance of showers," said the flight attendant as we were landing - this is Manchester, I thought, there's never not a chance of showers. There's a chance of showers when you're _indoors_), and heading to Wales for a couple of days tomorrow. I'll try and make it to the BugZappers and QA meetings, but please don't hate me too much if I don't :)

Several of my closest relatives speak like that also. At least one uncle never found Jon Cleese's gentlemen funny... bad show (or such thing).

But the big question is that while you were on the River, did you meet a Rat, a Mole, and a Toad? If so they owe me a dinner of bangers and mash.

Inquiring minds want to know, etc etc :o)
... how long ago? How famous? Is or was the author an alumnus of the same institution?

I somehow suspected so ... you seem to be so charming that you have to be from this side of Pond. :)

It did seem odd to me, "Blighty." I don't hear that much hear.
I have an Australian friend who throws in the occasional "Tally ho." I don't think he does it to be funny, it seems pretty natural an unconsidered.
