Yes, it is not the sort of thing I'd see the Brits falling for.
(And no, I am not about to add, well, they fell for...)
Right phone calls: Coffee. And coffee canisters/containers.
Picked up my new car this morning.
2018 Lincoln MKZ

My first 4K TV - a Samsung 82NU8000 to replace my 8 year old plasma. I got an awesome deal through a friend at work - $3K off the NZ RRP price, and Samsung are offering a $500 visa reward card too. Picked up a 4K Apple TV to go with it. (I wonder if they will fight or sue each other?)
Stunning purchase; well wear, safe driving, and do enjoy.
Thank you. I really love this car and wanted it for several years.

ARE you referring to the Super Bowl? If so, I think it was cheese nochos.
Purchased this card (not my actual card) earlier this afternoon. Mine has been professionally graded by Professional Sports Authenticator. PSA certifies that the card they received for grading is genuine, and then grades the card on a scale of 1 - 10, (including .5 scale) with 1 being Poor and 10 being Gem Mint. The higher the grade the higher the value of the card. If a card has been altered in any way, it is noted on the front of the encapsulated case for the card, which drastically reduces the value. The case for the card seals the card inside, and protects the card from damage etc.
A GEM Mint 10 of this card is worth in the neighborhood of $3 million dollars. To date, 1297 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards have been submitted to PSA for grading and only 3 have received the ultimate grade of PSA 10 (GEM MINT)
Here are some examples of the card I purchased in various condition grades, for those interested.
The Mantle card is on the list of the most sought after cards by collectors. I have several on this list as well.

Here's an approximate image of my latest purchase. Summer strawberries to go w/ some Greek yogurt. But mine were smaller, probably sweeter and are sadly all gone already. 
Strawberries are a regular part of my diet. I take mine with some whipped cream. MmmmHere's an approximate image of my latest purchase. Summer strawberries to go w/ some Greek yogurt. But mine were smaller, probably sweeter and are sadly all gone already.

Pour over double cream for me, but, at this time of year, strawberries can be wonderful.
Not a big strawberry fan. I'll eat them, but the way some people talk about them I just don't get it.
If they are industrially produced, look large and perfect, very often, they have little to no flavour, like Dutch tomatoes. These are best avoided.
However, homegrown ones can be an explosion of sweet and juicy tartness as you devour them.
I never buy them in shops; rather, I'll buy them in markets (from the people who cultivated and grew them, often organically), or, if driving with my brother, stop suddenly at the side of the road - this time of year you will see people selling punnets of the strawberries that they have grown themselves, and they will have little stands at the side of the road, often staffed by a bored teenager reading a large and heavy book.
Those strawberries are usually delicious.

Nice tap. How much does an outside tap cost in your neck of the woods if you don’t mind me asking?
Fitted was £60. But he was replacing the previous one. That price includes the stop cock replacement as well.Nice tap. How much does an outside tap cost in your neck of the woods if you don’t mind me asking?
That’s about the going rate I’d say from the adverts I’ve seen in my area.
