I buy Yorkshire Tea at the little British grocery on Hudson Street--one of those oversized teabags makes three cups for me here at the office. (Cardboard cups, but it tastes fine to me.) When I forget to bring in a teabag and have to use the Lipton bags in the coffee room, it's like hearing Justin Bieber when you're expecting Beatles. (I prefer demarara sugar, too, but I'm out of it at the moment so I use the office honey packs.) When I was in South Carolina a couple of years ago, I visited a friend there who proudly brought out Yorkshire Tea, which I didn't even know he could get in SC.

Interesting that Hitchens' instructions are exactly the same as those given to me by the guy I was briefly engaged to in the mid-70s, an anglophile who was actually from Detroit (but you'd never guess it).

I think Postlewaite was a Mohican, in LOTM, and did indeed disappear into his role, which is pretty good for an Englishman. I remember him there, and in The Usual Suspects.

Yes, the one that wanted the younger sister and watched/allowed her to throw herself off of that waterfall/cliff. Amazing actor.


Actually Mitty - I believe you are thinking of Wes Studi who played Magui. Postlewaite was in LOTM, but played a british officer. I only know cause LOTM is one of my (very secretly) favorite films of all time. In all it's cheesy glory. I have seen it, oh - 50 times.

erg! Thanks Kate, all of sudden, in one of those awake moments in the middle of the night, it came to me that I was wrong. I hadn't checked it yet though. That scene has stuck with me, but obviously the faces faded.

I love the film too, need to watch again, soon.

An opinion piece that shines a light on the Tea Party idol, Justice Scalia. An ugly stain on your supreme court.

Thanks for clarification on Postlewaite in LOTM, Kate -- somehow I had also thought he was one of the Mohicans. But you've seen it 50 times and I've seen it once, so I'm inclined to believe you. Might see it again, now.

"Ugly stain" is going a bit far, but I agree that he's totally wrong.

By the way, RIP Steve Landesberg (last week, I think). Though I hadn't seen him in anything since "Barney Miller," he had apparently been working pretty steadily according to the IMDb. He was once at our film class--no doubt because the scheduled guest canceled and our prof had to call in someone on short notice--and he was a delight, probably more fun than the scheduled guest (whoever it was) would have been.

I need some tech help. Eleven childhood friends and I have had a Google email group for years. Now Google is going to discontinue us, probably for insufficient traffic. Can anyone recommend where we might go?

Yahoo groups are free and extremely easy to start up. I belong to one where there are only about four of us who are active, and Yahoo has left us alone.

Had not heard this about Steve. RIP indeed.

What's the problem?
Just get some new childhood friends.

Yeah, I forgot about Landesburg's passing.

He sat next to Shirley Anne (my late wife) when her friend, who worked on The Wonder Years, took her to Fred Savage's Bar Mitzvah. Shirley Anne said that he was very nice.
