He had to deal with a US colleague in Starfleet who is coming to the UK. GF expects most Starfleet employees to be well-travelled. So he was surprised when his colleague asked how to use the telephone in the UK; GF patiently explained that our phones have unique numbers and that by keying those numbers into a phone a connection is made. The colleague was delighted and went on to explain that this is just how it works in the US.
It was a new colleague's birthday so a decent wine was ordered with tonight's pizza.
The Five o'clock start drags GF back to his room early to fall asleep in front of CSI:Miami as he does most Tuesdays. He's seen the start of every episode in this new series... but hasn't seen the conclusion of any of them.
