After conception?
Dilemma, what do you guys think? Page 4

I think you need to ask yourself..
What would Frasier do ?
He'd give her the gift cause at the end of the day, he is a very moral person, even if it comes back to bite him on the bum.
If you kept them, you would be constantly haunted by his disappointed face staring at you from the case.
Problem sorted. Just give her the discs after Niles and Daphne get together, the series went downhill after that.
Speaking of Frasier, what's the deal with Daphne's supposed brothers? They're meant to be from Manchester, but their accents are all over the place. There's one with a Cockney accent, who is actually played by an Australian actor, who uses Aussie slang, like "Ripper!" There's a posh one, played by Richard E. Grant, who is south African. Also, there's another whose accent I can't quite pinpoint, played by Robbie Coltrane, who is from Glasgow.
Presumably they're not meant to be from Manchester, but rather Manchester United supporters.
It's a common problem is US TV to ether be posh of cockney. Also mixing up Aussie accents with English.
Top draw, old chum. Spiffing. Absolutely marvelous, what?
Cor blimey Guv.
Etc.

Whisky? Why not a Mark Pearson novel?
The Rook, sounds to me like you're thinking ahead to the point where you divide the estate after the break-up!

That's what I was thinking. Maybe this isn't about a DVDs, maybe this is really a "shit, how do I get out of this relationship" question?

I was actually going to suggest something similar. Every time you buy her a present you want, put a similar amount in a savings account. If you split up and she keeps the presents, use the savings account to buy all the stuff for yourself, it will be cheaper and you'll have some cash left over to drown your sorrows. If you marry her, never tell her about the savings account and use it for booze anyway.

Let's face it, the Americans think there's only 3 accents in the whole of Britain, i.e. Posh, Cockney (or maybe that should that be Dickensian Cockney) and Scottish - though judging by most TV and films, Americans don't seem to know Scotland is part of Britain. Otherwise, you might hear the odd Beatles impersonation, but that's about it.
That reminds me, has anyone else noticed the way shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy always seem to have it in for the Irish?
