America to be handed back to Britain. New Rules apply
Notice to US citizens
To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USAand thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
(You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.)
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).
Your new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.
Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
-----------------------
1. The letter "U" will be reinstated in words such as "colour," "favour," "labour" and "neighbour." Likewise, you will learn to spell "doughnut" without skipping half the letters, and the suffix "-ize" will be replaced by the suffix "-ise." Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up "vocabulary").
------------------------
2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as '"like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English.. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter "u"' and the elimination of "-ize."
------------------
3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.
-----------------
4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist,then you're not ready to shoot grouse..
----------------------
5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
----------------------
6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
--------------------
7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.
-------------------
8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.
-------------------
9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. Australian beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
---------------------
10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
---------------------
11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies)..
---------------------
12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the Australians first to take the sting out of their deliveries.
--------------------
13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
-----------------
14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).
---------------
15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.
God Save the Queen!

Didn't Andie Macdowell play an American in Four Weddings and a Funeral? I'll give you that she was annoying as all get out ... but I'm pretty sure that was not due to 'English dialogue'.

Kaffy, I think you are right. I loved that movie and I like her a lot

Re: America to be handed back to Britain. New Rules apply
I too loved that movie - but she made me crazy in it! Andie McDowell as an actress is as grating to me as Celine Dion is as a singer. I liked the petite red head in the movie much better. She made me laugh.

Re: America to be handed back to Britain. New Rules apply
Dont be scared.I had somne heavy heavy stuff to deal with a few years ago and it really got me through it. As long as you find the right ones for you they are a very good tool for getting you back on track.
I think i knew i was heading this way after all the crap i had had to deal with the last 6mths. I was toughing it out, but now i have just been told I have heart problems on top of everything else, enough is enough. I need help to stay normal

Oh Flea, I am sorry, it never rains but it pours, doesn't it. I have to say you come across as though you have immense reserves of strength and character, but I can understand that you have been dealt a few bad blows recently. I am babbling I'm afraid but what I really want to do is give you a hug. I hope things improve for you soon. Much Love M x
We will all get through it somehow. Just do what you have to do.
I am off to the cardiologist now. I hope he takes nice pic of my arteries lol

'You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists'.
I'd also like to add that with immediate effect:
All Americans must strive to resolve their personal issues without feeling the need to go on national television and wash their dirty linen in public. As a result of this Dr Phil, Rikki Lake and David Letterman will be exploring alternative career paths and will no longer be at your disposal
