The Full Monty
From Michelle, in the Slagroom...
Sheffield, the jewel in the crown of the north of England. Home to The Full Monty, and also home to my family!
I didn't see any nekkid steel workers while I was there this last weekend, though, which was a disappointment...
But I did get to watch ultimate favorite soap on TV--Coronation Street (fondly referred to as Corrie), the UK's longest running soap. Can't remember how long, but it's at least 40 years now and at least one of the original cast (Ken Barlow) is still in it!
I love this soap. I adore this soap. So much so that while I was living in the States (which no, does not get Corrie--you just don't know what you're missing out on!) my sister and brother-in-law faithfully taped 4 episodes per week and mailed it to me so that I could keep up!
Currently, crazy Maya is still on the rampage and is terrorizing Dev and Sunita.
For a peek at what all the fuss is about, go here and check it out.

PS. Don't get Corrie in the Netherlands, either. Long suffering sister and b-i-l still taping it for me...now all I need is a European video machine so I can watch!

Aw, you've been living in the wrong north american country all along!
We get Coronation Street in Canada. But we are awfully British - only nicer - up here.

Wow--I didn't know that. Thanks, Jennifer!
Next time Oh Patient One "suggests" a move, I will sneakily suggest Canada so that I can continue my love affair with Corrie!
Michelle :-)
