Our melting pot has created a few things like, Tex-Mex, Cajun Creole, Bourbon, Mint Juleps, Ice Tea, Manhattans, Buffalo wings, Barbecue, Clam Chowder, and candy bars.

* and not one person from all of China /Hong Kong entered the U.S. during the SARS outbreak.....

* That may be true, e.g. your German guys were better than the Russian's German guys...

* Also true, I never had Candy before I came to North America...... beats me why the Brits have such bad teeth......

All in good fun ! );

No, we're not perfect, but for the most part despite your family, your postal code, or color, you, being responsible for your own actions, may rise to any station you desire.

The ability to rise above or sink below your station in life is dependent on you, and your decisions. American freedom includes the right to succeed or the right to fail.

There are no MBE's running our companies.

Who would rule Flanders and Wallonia?

Who cares really, i mean, it's Belgium...


Besides, Rule Flanders and Wallonia
in the grand scheme of things, we've been "ruled" by just about everybody
and eventually they all feck off again after one to many hangovers from drinking our beers... :D

It's because we don't get tea at 4PM.

We have reason to be "exited" (excited). The Queen controls a major portion of cattle in the U.S. There have been stories circulating that after the elections, she and her silent partners plan to withhold beef sales, and starve the U.S. into British submission. Haggis will be the meat dish of choice.

Oil will be next.

Then British literature.

lol...

Normally I would agree but, given the choice between McDonalds and something called "Spotted Dick", I guess I'll, you know, like go for the Golden Arches.

;)

I do wish we had more "Mind the gap." here. :)

Ah! the famous Mc Wrap! How did they not notice how it pronounced.......

RWebb 02-12-2008 04:48 PM

OK, no more saving those guys from the Germans.

And since the Germans are pretty regular about starting wars to dominate Europe... looks like the Brits have about 14 years left.

I heard that’s why the Brits never made computers.
Couldn’t figure out how to make them leak oil!

Is Aluminum actually pronounced "Ala-Mini-um" ? Who knew!

Little fish shouldn't pick on big fish. They'll get eaten.

Laughing my arse (note spelling) off.

Us kiwis speak both languages so I find this sort of thing really funny.

Coco: "I like your English accent."
Bret: "New Zealand."
Coco: "Oh New Zealand. I hear it's beautiful. There's vikings there, right?"
Bret: "Uh. Um. Yeah."

And don't forget corn dogs, funnel cakes, and American "cheese"!!

and deep fried everything, potato, chicken, whole turkey, snicker bars(this is the best thing you will ever have in your life), oh and Hooters, yeah we suck, sorry to hold one of our many, many guns to the world's collective head and forcing them to eat Big Macs and Royales with Cheese

Was this attributed to John Cleese the first time, I thought it was when Reagan was the President, seem to remember it as a fax

Spotted dick is a dessert, I have managed to avoid it for the last 30 odd years, maybe one day I will pluck up the courage to try it! Oh and if you have done a fair bit of travelling using the London Underground "Mind the gap" gets a little boring after a while.

Written for Clinton????

At least when the British honour their Head of State, they only go down on one knee......

Marmite. Say no more!

When Hillary starts moving in all the stuff she slipped out the back door last time, you boys will be longing for the Queen of England. :D

BTW, Stijn is not from England.
