“When, after having heard the explosion from their practice facility, they ran into the fire to help get people out. Ran in to the fire. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels tonight. They’re our students and our teachers and our parents and our friends. The streets of heaven are too crowded with angels, but every time we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we’re reminded that that capacity may well be limitless.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Boston. Stay safe.

America: I have a favo(u)r to ask.
My fellow Americans. I have a secret. I’ve been living with it for a couple of years now. I know it will come as a surprise, but don’t worry: I’m OK.
Deep breath, here goes: I’m not American.
I know, right? I’ve been trying really hard, with all the driving on the right and speaking funny and spelling words with more “z”s and fewer “u”s. I watch Doctor Who with commercials and Downton Abbey without. But the truth is, actually I’m British. Always have been.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, I’m a Conditional Permanent Resident Alien.
That means I live here. I work here. I earn here. I spend here. I follow the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States of America. I’m registered for Selective Service. I pay federal, state, county and municipal taxes. I even pay the 7% Allegheny County Poured Drink Tax. I believe I’m exempt from speed limits, but I may have misunderstood the man at the DMV. He was mumbling.
I don’t get to vote here.

The BBC America Tumblr presents to you a visual guide to the British snack food available in our New York office vending machine.
Walkers and Tayto, roast chicken and ‘Cheese & Onion’ crisps, Bounty bars that look the same but taste different. Familiarize yourself for your next trip across the pond.
