according to this article, the chattering classes in UK have not much else to talk about besides traffic and last night's tv. Living in britain, I can confirm that this is in fact true. Daily conversation topics are usually 24, OC, Big Brother, and traffic cameras. Frankly, there's not much else I want to talk about with people.

Talk less and work more for a prosperous life and peace of mind.

or perhaps the proverb should say "talk less and watch more." by watch I mean TV of course!

Well this is my back yard - my back gate
I hate to start my parties late
Here's the party cart - ain't that great?
That ain't the best part baby - just wait
That's a genuine weathervane - it moves with the breeze
Portable hammock baby - who needs trees?
It's casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties

Check out the shingles - it's brand new
Excuse me while I mingle - "hi, how are you?"
Hey everybody - let me give you a toast
This one's for me - the host with the most

It's getting a trifle colder - step inside my home
That's a brass toilet tissue holder with its own telephone
That's a musical doorbell - it don't ring, I ain't kiddin'
It plays America The Beautiful and Tie A Yellow Ribbon

Boy, this punch is a trip - it's OK in my book
Here, take a sip - maybe a little heavy on the fruit
Ah, here comes the dip - you may kiss the cook
Let me show you honey - it's easy - look
You take a fork and spike 'em - say, did you try these?
So glad you like 'em - the secret's in the cheese
It's casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties

Now don't talk to me about the polar bear
Don't talk to me about the ozone layer
Ain't much of anything these days, even the air
They're running out of rhinos - what do I care?
Let's hear it for the dolphin - let's hear it for the trees
Ain't running out of nothing in my deep freeze
It's casual entertaining - we aim to please
At my parties
If it doesn't scare hippies, it's not worth listening to
