doyle1) The things you learn while making last-minute changes to your Yuletide sign-up: a Noel Streatfeild book I haven't read, White Boots, features a character called Lalla Ward. Imagine my disappointment when I remembered how many years ago it must have been written and that it couldn't possibly be strange Doctor Who RPF. (ETA: okay, my final requests were two f/f and two m/m. I pruned some of the fandoms I wasn't certain I'd be able to come up with a story for but have a feeling I'm going to regret rashly offering 'any' for RPF - Historical. Eep.)
2) A cultural difference that has me stumped: we're watching Sex in the City and Carrie is moaning about having to move because her building is becoming a co-op. Assuming she hasn't been bought out by the UK supermarket chain, what's she on about?

on 2006-11-03 12:06 am (UTC)I'm the UK, so this is a well formed guess. Apartment buildings in NY have boards that regulate tennancy and vote people in and out, approve if they can rent. A executive landlord group as it were. I believe that controls are really stringent and that it's also a draw so rent increases.
But as I said, it's a half-formed guess.
