A gill is also a liquid measure. 4 gills = 1 pint. Thus a girl's willingness to please may depend on the number of gills she has inside her. Her tally over a specified interval is of great interst to many men.

I must admit to becoming addicted to the TV show, "House," with an English actor, Hugh Laurie, in the starring role. I'm sure some of you will be pleased! I watch it because Dr. House is a curmudgeon, so I can identify with him.
I've never seen the show, but I've read some good reviews. One question; over here the reviewers mention almost without fail that Hugh Laurie puts on a very good American accent. Is that how Americans hear his accent, or can they tell he's English?

Hugh Laurie's accent is perfect! One would never know he was born in Oxford were it not to be found on the internet. His training in comedy serves him well on this show. It's a fine role for him. He's a curmudgeonly ass whom one loves to hate and hates to love - and the "love interest" on the show does just that!
