I had an Aunt Tilly!
4:36 am
mattygroves
Yeah, time totally flies.
4:37 am
mattygroves
It's funny how names come and go in and out of fashion! She's a Matilda, technically (called Matilda, Tilda, Tilly and various variations)
4:38 am
FrenchToast
yes, my Aunt was a Matilda too. Growing up, I always thought "Tilly" was the cutest name.
4:38 am
mattygroves
I like it - but I'm biased
4:38 am
FrenchToast
of course!
4:39 am
mattygroves
It's funny - I wasn't impressed with the name when Sarah told me when she was born and yet it grew on me VERY quickly!
4:39 am
FrenchToast
I know another Matilda right now, and we call her "Matty."
4:40 am
mattygroves
Hah! My 'real' name is, of course, not Matty. It's Kate ;)
4:40 am

Oh I wondered! The Matty I know is at my workplace.

Matty Groves is a folk song - it's about adultery and murder so....
4:41 am
mattygroves
Matty is in the grid - just as well it's not a word ;)
4:42 am
FrenchToast
Oh I didn't know about the song. Tell me, do you know the village called Gerrard's Cross, in Bucks County? I grew up there.
4:42 am
mattygroves
I do (I've not been but I know where it is). I did not realise you grew up in the UK!
4:43 am
FrenchToast
Yes my father was in the USNavy. We lived in England and traveled all over Europe, for about 4 years in the 1960s. It was wonderful! I went to school at RAF High Wycombe.
4:45 am
mattygroves
I do know High Wycombe. My daughter went to Birmingham University so when we'd drive up the M40, High Wycombe was sort of halfway there (ish) - where the Red Kites were released (they've spread - we have quite a lot of them here much further south near Windsor)
4:47 am
FrenchToast
I stay in touch with one of my friends from High Wycombe, I went to visit her in Florida last year. We were in 6th grade together. So many fun memories! We went to Camp Mohawk, have you heard of it.
4:48 am
mattygroves
No. I suspect there are tons of summer camps called that in the US though!
4:48 am
mattygroves
I married and Englishman (since divorced and traded up to a better model...or at least a different model of Englishman) so my daughter went to British schools, let a British life etc etc etc
4:49 am
mattygroves
She has a British (slightly tinged with Australian now) accent
4:50 am
FrenchToast
No, I meant we went to Camp Mohawk when we were in England. I'm not sure where it is exactly, but most US military kids were sent there in the summers.
4:52 am
mattygroves
yeah, I don't know much about the military stuff - I never hung with ex-pats as I married the Englishman so have led a fairly English life. Though I still don't really care about the results of tonight's football (soccer)!
4:54 am
FrenchToast
Is that World Cup?

I don't WANT Italy to win, you understand, I just predict they will - England are excellent at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ;)
5:07 am

They have played exceptionally well this tournament, looking forward to the game tonight.

My country of birth and my heritage would say that soccer (football) should be entertaining to me, but sadly I could never get into it. I tried, I really did. I forget the teams, but I once sat down and watched the first place team play the team that was in last place. The ball went back and forth for ninety minutes, and at the end of it all the score was tied 1-1. The most entertaining thing to me about European soccer is the rabid fans in the stand who destroy each other and everything around them during that 90 minutes.
8:12 am

that is my feeling about soccer as well. highlights reel are so much more efficient.

The most bring thing to me would be British dart competitions--they always go something like this: "20....20!!!, and while we wait for the final throw, I can tell you that Reginald Smythe hails from Puddleby-on-the-Wye, and collects antique bar taps and petrified sheep droppings..."
