How many of those Queen bills do I need to put a hotel on Boardwalk?

You're in for a disappointment as they've changed the coins maybe all of four times, maybe five. I once dug up a 1953 penny from a garden, trippy.

Aren't we just lucky to not have her on all our stamps any more.

I've got a ton of UK stamps in an album somewhere, all of them with the Queen on them. Probably worth a bit now.

You know stamps are legal tender. You give that to a bus driver, he has to accept it.

You're bullshitting, surely.

Oh no, for real, I had a pretty good stamp collection going when I was like 12. A ton of it came from these bags full of random world stamps that the supermarket sold, though.

A shit-ton of UK stamps, Eire, Poland, Chezchoslovakia (as it was then), Romania, et cetera. All worth nothing at all.

I have basically the same thing lurking in a drawer somewhere. By "somewhere" I mean "I know exactly where, and have not glanced at it since I last moved".

Nor, for that matter, have I thought to use it to pay the bus driver.

So my call of bullshit was, in fact, correct?

(You may safely assume that if there is a TV show or movie, I have probably not seen it.)

The bit about stamps being legal tender (they are, but not like that). Oh The Office (British version), nearly anyone should have a look at that. It's only 12 episodes long.

The exception to my bracketed comment above is usually British comedies, but in the case of The Office, not yet. I know, I know. One day.

Hey, one day, it's only taken me 15 years to catch up on The Thick Of It. I get it.

Ah, The Thick of It. I thought I couldn't love Yes Minister more, and then I discovered I could get it in a Scottish accent with excessive profanity.

My favourite part about The Thick of It was when Malcolm Tucker casually referenced Jamie as 'the nice one'.
