Continuous competition between two dominant teams is what makes a good league.

Only this place could make me feel a wally for never having been ripped off for drugs.

Circumstance means I've only ever worked in one office in this country. They adopted the tea-making approach rightly bemoaned earlier in this thread - dipping the teabag into the water for a few seconds before discarding it and adding industrial quantities of milk and sugar. Point. Thoroughly. Missed.
