Blackcatter - sorry, no that was an honest misreading on my part. There's a Blackwater River in Essex (and a more famous one in Cork, and a few more here and there), and that's a word I'm more used to seeing written down than blackcatter.

I'm afraid I'd always though Disney World and Disneyland were the same thing - or rather two versions of the same thing, like you have MacDonalds in different places (we've got no fewer than four in Harlow, God help us). I suppose I assumed that Disneyland was the collective name for that place in Florida, and the other one near Paris, and the one in California.

As for "We're all miserable sinners" - the reason it's not insulting is surely because the person saying it includes themself. And it read to me as if mousethief (Alex) was doing the same when he said "We're all a bunch of intellectual prigs here."
