You must spread etc..... bloody hell!

Nice one! But I thought a reply was in order:

I suppose since we English started speaking it. Amazingly we invented English and immediately passed it onto the Brits who seem to speak it quite well, considering.

I think the West Germanic tribes, Romans, Normans, and the Northern Neiderlanders might disagree that English was strictly a sole invention of the English.

3. We can't learn "God save the queen" because we couldn't learn our own national anthem.

Well, most people here don't know God Save the Queen except for that bit! At least your anthem doesn't sound like a funeral dirge.

Well, since the American anthem was written by a British lord as a drinking song, that makes sense I suppose.


4. Who the hell doesn't write their dates like that?

The rest of the world?

Careful! When Britons start talking about things which encompass the "rest of the world" it makes me nervous. The track record simply isn't all that gleeful.

5. I'll agree on the aluminium thing.

6. While I'm not a big fan of American cinema, I've never made it past the first couple of minutes of a British film. You guys just settle for what we give you.

There are some good ones. 4 Weddings and a Funeral for instance.
Fruity Chick Flick.

You must have seen the arty farty ones that some of the intelligentsia watch and then spout total bollocks about them. "Oh Jasper, wasn't that so good. The way he tranposed the plight of the Oohmegoolies tribe into a suburb of the east end of London and juxtaposed it with the state of Iraq was sooooo darling". "Yeth, Euphemia, he'th thuch a darling director." You just want to cuddle them by the throat! Was that the ones you saw?

Was that last bit English?


7. American cars are pieces of crap, but we can't trust anyone else to make a truck.

Your trucks are way toooooooo big for our roads. And ours come mainly from Germany and France as do our cars.

And therein lies the problem.

8. To celebrate "Indecisive Day" we will send you everyone that voted for Bush. Do whatever you like with them.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! We forgive you everything. Just don't send those people - even if there aren't many of them.

Yes, quite right. Indeed we forgot, England already has their share of those.

9. British "humor" killed JFK.

But you found Fawlty Towers, Monty Python and Mr Bean funny! Perhaps he died laughing.

We only watch those shows when we are trying to impress people.
Look! Everyone! I'm watching the BBC! I'm cultured I tell you!
