How are you all?

Giles, I both love you and curse you after I finally broke down and bought the soundtrack to THE FINAL CONFLICT. It's great, but my bank account screams 'Damn you Strax!!!'

Other than that (and the fact I spent £27 catching up with comics today), there's not much else to report.

actually, that was horribly dismissive.
hello,
I'm from london, which is big and smelly and expensive. i just flew in from a holiday in vienna and i will say this: London looks great from about 1000 feet.
i come on these boards mostly to chat with the americans coz they talk funny.
i solemnly swear that if i become a massively succesful movie director i'll let the english chewers on the set.
if you talk to me long enough i will inevitably start bollocking on about my band. we're playing in a strip club, you know.

Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash.
recently Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and the Magnetic Fields.
Anyone who says they don't sound like someone else is a fool or a liar.
I was at the ashton (sp?) court festival this year. drank cider until i puked. didn't hear much music except for the bad rock stage every once in a while as i went to piss in the woods.
good week-end. i like Bristol.

I don't even know where Wiltshire is. Londoner's are such arseholes.
As it's good weather, i imagine a blanket under the stars in a field would be good. somewhere away from the orange glow of a city.

Ah shite I already did this in another thread, but never mind. Middlesbrough here. You know, industrial revolution? Smoke? Lots of it? Captain Cook was born here. He went round the world and stuff. Which makes us cultured, or something.

Just try asking for chips in America. You know they put sugar in their bolognese? Their cars are very big.
Anyway, I'm in London, confused, confused London and i think we should, like, take over these boards and make everyone drink tea.
Would anyone take part in a thread called 'elevenses' where we all post something nice and polite to each other at 11 am and 4 pm, weekdays?

I'm a smelly Frenchman but I've lived for ten years in London, in such glorious places as East Croydon and Wembley, is that enough to make me an honorary Brit?

I still don't have a clue about the rules of Cricket though; my theory is that no-one knows them for sure but just pretend to know what they're doing in order to confuse foreigners.

It works

East Croyden and Wembley? mmm, nice.
Of course you can be a Brit, though I'd rather be an honourary Frenchman.

I've heard that cricket is an allegory for the Passion of Jesus, though personally i think the king came up with a game that lasted five days in order to keep upper-class boys out of trouble.

English comedions rule!! Ricky Gervais's animals is hilerious even tho he takes the piss out of soooo many things!

In fact, how come the passion of christ had such a massive slandering when it was just telling the story while Ricky takes the piss out of the bible and gets away with it???

I'm from Gloucestershire in the UK! UK RULES!!

anyone heard about the profits from pirate dvd's helping terrorism?? hmmmmm

He's young too, 16 he said, so he's probably just excitable. or at least more energetic than neardeads like me.
if he doesn't stop signing all his posts with 'so long, Ash' i'm going to cut his newly dropped balls of though.

There, i hope i'm doing my bit for british love.

We really are so much better than everybody else, don't you agree. the world is split into 2 halves: those who have stolen our language, and those who haven't learnt it yet.
Gosh we are fantastic.

I always love it when an American says something along the lines of 'our country is better' or 'you wish you lived in american' because they couldn't be more wrong.

I love Britain, through and through.

What does annoy me is that Americans ALWAYS call English people...'British'. I know it's technically true but they call Irish people Irish, Scots Scottish, Welsh...well Welsh, so why the fuck do they always call English people British? Especially on Xbox Live.

Don't get me fucking started on when some obnoxious American teenager says 'we saved your ass in the war'...

Which is not to say that our teenagers aren't obnoxious and stupid, but i think they just breed them bigger over there. Maybe they put 'obnoxicol' in the water.
It's odd, because every american adult i've met has been immensely nice. except for one, but he was mostly just stupid.

I don't know, maybe we've just met a non-representative cross-section of american people.

As for the 'brits' thing, and this might sound horrible, but i live in london, and i'd rather be associated with the scottish and welsh than anyone from the home counties.

I'd be willing to bet 99% of the world doesn't really see a difference between England, Scotland and Wales anyway. I mean, I was so surprised when I first moved to London to see how touchy people are about it. It's because they're not different actual countries on a map I think, so people assume it's just a meaningless regional difference instead of a real question of pride... as insulting as that might sound to you, most people I know in the south of France call all British Les Anglais....

I've got nothing against being associated with the Scots or Welsh etc, on the contrary I fucking love them. But it annoys me that they call ENGLISH people Brits but Scottish and Welsh people Scottish and Welsh. They seem to think that England IS Britain, and the rest of the British Isles are their own Countries, somewhere far, far away....

Theres a great put down when Americans say that, but its very offensive even if it is true

Bah, this is a Brits only thread anyway, feel free to share your offensive and possible racist anecdotes, lol.

And for the record the Americans didn't save anyones, ass in either World War. They were looking out for themselves.

I'm not actually as anti-American as I probably sound in these posts, but some of them can be so obnoxious that it just pisses me right off. Luckily the American community here on CHUD are mostly great people. Just generally you meet a lot of pricks elsewhere, especially on Xbox Live.

I'm originally from Gloucestershire but now live in Dallas. I've yet to have anyone claim that " they saved us in the war" but what does piss me off is that they seem oblivious that the war ACTUALLY STARTED 2 YEARS BEFORE PEARL HARBOR !

Apart from that they're good people. Must be, I married one of 'em. ( GRIN )

Oh, and plain chocolate digestives for me. There's a store near me that sells them....and a couple that sell Strongbow....thank God.

Well exactly, they all think England is Britain and that Scotland, Ireland and Wales if they know of it/can recognise a Welsh accent are independant countries.
