I just don't unbderstand how Blair can even THINK of getting Britain involved, when none of us want it!

michaelmyers
i watched the office. how funny was that music video by david brent! HAAAAA!

oh yea, cannada rock!

Captain REX
There's a city where everyone has to own a gun to live there. Somewhere in Arizona I think. There is no crime, since if someone did something stupid with a gun, everyone else would just hold them at gunpoint until the cops came. Dunno, don't think that would work very well...

Not all of us own guns though.

yerssot
because he wantssss it wink

he obeys his master ... the lord of the rings... GWBwink

cermiestar
maybe he'll wake up and smell the lack of weapons of mass destruction? stick out tongue

silver_tears
*fiddles with big red fake clown nose* ninja

mechmoggy
I can't understand what happens to my accent around none-Brits, I turn into a stereotypical toff for no apparent reason. Honest, I sound like a Hugh Grant character.

All very strange, especially as I'm from B'ham, hardly a place for properly spoken English. confused

yerssot
oh cheer up ol'chap smile
let's all discuss this accent-thing with a nice cup o'tea

mechmoggy
I'll have the tea, but I'll slap you if you continue to talk like that.

Thanks United Kingdom for putting up with us Yanks (Americans) smile

Phoenix
Our pleasure, old boy...

yerssot
just be sure to take the underground when you're in the city, it's much easier wink

Sugar Kane
What a spiffing thread! All in dedication to us Brits, jolly good show, old sport. What marvellous hospitality! big grin
I'm from the south of England, so I do sound a bit posh, all though I'm not really posh at all...

BarmyBrummie
Us, brummies (from birmingham) always get slagged off for our accents. It's not our fault we don't talk posh!!!

BunnyWolf
I'm British... Living in Yorkshire but I got a London accent for some reason... Some of my friends are Londoners so maybe it's them rubbing off on me big grin Not that I mind of course

ash007
yeah bit i also love the U.S its a very nice place but i found recently that i kind of fdon't feel safe in the U.S but apart form that you guys over the pond are fantastic you brought great hollywood films and i love programs like Friends and Stargate and Startrek eek!. Plus without you yanks we wouldn't have Starwars which means this site wouldn't exist

feanor
laughing
and they say you people have a dry sense of humour

BarmyBrummie
DRY???? British comedy rules ALL!!!!

ash007
i really actually don't know what it means when someone keeps on saying we have a dry sence of humer please explain confused

feanor
no arguments here

shaber
Does anyone know that London is a total wasteland? I ought to know. I've lived there most of my life. mad

yerssot
I'm mostly in the center of it, you know ... tourist stuff, not the outskirts

shaber
Did anyone know that the "comprehensive" education system is one of the worst in all the western world? I ought to know. I am one of those who has been to BOTH comprehensives AND a Grammar school (the old type of school - they were everywhere before the Socialists appeared) mad

feanor
coming from america myself. i couldn't begin to explain it. the closest thing i could say is that it's not vulgar or silly antics in the american sense. more like..."waitaminute, let me think...ah yes! now i get" haha...that is funny. jim carey vs. monty python...? mebbe i shouldn't have said dry. no offense embarrasment

shaber
Dry humour means detached and unimpassioned humour. Not introspective humour. More tending towards irony.

ash007
oh i c

cool

shaber
I like Jim Carrey. Especially Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber laughing out loud

feanor
oh w/o a doubt Jim Carrey is byond funny...but then monty python skits make my eyes water from laughing so hard.

julibug
Ahhh, Hugh Grant! Mmmm!

Phoenix
Hmm, dry humor...? Isn't that what people call Brit humour when it is too subtle for them to understand...?

yerssot
I like that sad

BarmyBrummie
HEY, THE OFFICE WON 2 GOLDEN GLOBES!!!!!

burlyman
