Then she pulled out a wine glass and poured herself one.
Not only is that entire spectacle nothing short of impressive...you know who this bothered? Nobody.
Then again...I went on a tour of London's Tube system on the weekend before they banned drinking on Public Transit and that was nothing short of a maniacal nightmare.
But thats the English for you.
