Reply to comment by LyonDeTerre in [EU] The CIA are trying to kill Clark Kent and make it look like an accident. They don't know he's Superman, he's just a really good journalist and is getting too close to some things the government wants to keep secret. by Affectionate_Bit_722
Very good story. 2 differences between "King's English" and "American English" pulled me out. First, we call a subway train arriving a 'Train' not a 'Carriage'. Second, Kent was in "the men's room" or "the Bathroom" the whole time, not 'the toilets'. The wording just broke the illusion. The British slang the Director used was OK though... makes it feel like he spent a long time as an agent in the UK (or grew up in the UK as the son of an Agent).

Reply to Best wood for pantry style shelves in a closet? by glycinedream
Anything but Pine. Now Pine is a great wood for others, I just cannot stand the smell of it for long, and the thought of my clothes stinking of it... (shudder). Source, I worked in a pine sawmill for a few years, cleaned too much pine tar/sap off surfaces.
