An excellent, if partial, account of the Thanksgiving celebrations can be found here at Hertford can be found at my favourite strawberry-blonde's blog.

My contribution of Hershey's chocolate, imported directly from Boston last weekend, went down very well, especially with Americans who were missing the Kisses and Twizzlers from home.

The after-dinner conversation was excellent as well. Rich took it upon himself to be the master of conversation and proceeded to expound his theories of sexual relations:

1) Attractive people are lousy in bed, because they have no incentive to be good.
2) Don't sleep with stupid people, because they are more likely to get pregnant because they are less able to properly use contraception and birth control.

There probably were more, but I've forgotten.

Also the group agreed that British women were much more confident of their own sexuality and of their bodies than American women, or for that matter women in many other parts of the world. We hypothesised that it was a partial influence of local culture and mass media, with a healthy open discussion of sexuality all over the media here as opposed to unhealthy portrayals of unrealistically beautiful women in American, combined with a puritanical repression of discussion.

While this was going on, Channel 5 on the TV was showing a show called, "Outback Stripper" which had naked women everywhere. It shocked the non-Brits, because it's not something you would see on broadcast TV in most places, even if it was already 11 p.m.

Tonight is Extreme Karaoke night at the Hertford Octagon. You just know I'm going to be there.
