The British Are Coming!

So, all this "thankfulness" talk on Facebook has inspired me to write a "month" of posts about what I'm thankful for. (Or, to let me expound on my Facebook thankful posts because I like hearing myself think, one.)

So, for today's easy "I was going to write this anyway but really didn't have a good reason, and it's short, too" post, I give you:

The Top Five Things the British Are Good At (or: Why I'm Secretly Thankful I Spent Two Years Working with a Bunch of British Blokes)

5. Taking over the world
4. Cheese
3. Pop rock (as in rock 'n roll, not the candy)
2. Use of the word "piss"
1. Mystery novels
