hello folks,
Have just been enjoying the contributions on British/American 
semantics.  I find it fascinating.  My MIL is married to a canadian 
and has been there for 14 years - she confuses me by talking of 
american/canadian things in a broad Lancashire accent.  Why do we 
have so many different words for the same things?  Its like chips - 
they mean something completely different to me. (Deep fried or oven 
baked "chips" of potatoe).  We essentially speak the same language, 
and yet it is still foreign!

Anyway, have resisted the urge to buy DVD for..oh...at least 12 
hours.  The shops are shut now (9.30pm here) and I will have to wait 
until tomorrow.  It looks like there's some great extras on there, 
some shops are selling it with a buckbeak cuddly toy (don't think the 
finaces will stretch to that though).  

Has anybody got the DVD yet?  are the extras any good, or will it be 
stuff that those in the know (ie constantly trawling internet and 
message boards) are up to date with anyway?

Please advise (but will be buying it tomorrow anyway!!)

Am now going to watch "Children in Need" (TV charity telethon that's 
25 years old this year).  The BBC newsreaders will be doing their 
versions of Bananarama and Duran Duran - a must see for all those 30 
somethings (me) that rememeber the 80s like yesterday!
