Or if he went to Mexico and said he wishes he had learnt Latin at school so he could speak to the people in their native tongue, as Bush did.

Dog & Bone = Phone

Barnet fair = Hair

Apples & pears = Chairs

Jack & Danny = Fanny

Whistle & Flute = Suit

Tom & Dick = Sick

Deep Sea Diver = Fiver

Ruby Murrey = Curry

Just a few slang words that I know that Londoners like to say to confuse us foreigners, of course I would love to know more, if anybody can add to it.

Those "stupid" Americans bailed your sorry asses out in WWII and now dictate your foreign policy. They say jump, you ask "how high?"

Now who's stupid?

Stupidity is evident everywhere..................



A couple of weeks ago while talking to a group of England fans in the pub they all asked me why I didn't stand up for the National anthem, when I told them I didn't feel in a nationalistic mood, the conversation started to get all serious and eventually I told them I was born in Iran............................

their response?


"You don't look like a terrorist"

"Is Bin Laden your mate then?"


Yeah, because Bin Laden is A; the only "terrorist" in the world, and B; he is Iranian!!
