Re: I'm getting fed up with...
Darn, I would be fed up to. What do those southern Americans mean by having a way of life, a religious belief system and an accent different then yours. How dare they not be a Brit like yourself. Just because it is their country and not yours doesn't mean they have the right to their own way of life or the right to think you are the one with the accent. Give 'em hell! ;-)

If you don't like it why don't you just go ...
and have a beer.
Gotcha.
Sorry you've had a frustrating day!

Re: I'm getting fed up with...
A man wakes up one morning with the filthiest hangover and no recollection of the night before. Slowly opening his eyes, he sees a bottle of aspirin and a glass of water on the bedside table.
He looks around the room to find his clothes are on the dresser, neatly folded, with a clean shirt on top. The bedroom is immaculate. On the bedside table is a note, which says, 'Darling, your breakfast is in the kitchen. I love you.'
Downstairs, he finds his favourite cereal, croissants, fresh OJ and freshly brewed coffee laid out waiting for him, along with the morning paper - and his 15-year-old son, who is finishing his own breakfast.
'Tell me, son,' he asks, 'what happened last night?'
'Well,' says the boy, 'you came home so blind drunk you didn't even know your own name. You nearly broke the door down, then you were sick in the hallway, then you knocked the furniture over and when Mum tried to calm you down, you thought she was the police, so you gave her a black eye.'
'Christ!' says the man. 'Then how come my clothes are all folded, the house is tidy and my breakfast is ready?'
'When Mum dragged you into the bedroom and tried to get your trousers off to put you into bed, you shouted at her, 'Get your filthy hands off me, you slut, I'm married!''

Watched this last night downloaded from UK Nova. The US is not perfect but look at these miserable bastards, add the clouds and rain and it might be a good reality check. Is all the UK like this .................... no;

Interesting, quirky series on the small mindedness and eccentricities of some Brits. Think I prefer LA than places like this in the UK

Fakeness, selfishness, narrow mindedness and intolerance!!!
I swear, I'm going to SCREAM!!! :curse:
The next time I hear someone say "This is a Christian country..."
The next time someone singles me out for being different with their fake "oooh, I just lurve your accent!"
The next time I see some who's - yer - mate on TV with fake white veneer teeth
The next time I read that size zero is attractive
The next time I hear a sexist remark... and it is ACCEPTABLE!!!
The next time I see a religiously intolerant or racist bumper sticker
The next time I have to throw the trash out... and KNOW I could recycle most of it if the facilities were available!
The next time someone gives me a weird look for CHOOSING to walk down the street!
The next time I hear about another shooting
The next time I hear about "those ragheads"
The next time some butthead tries to tell me about Christianity as if I never heard of Jesus before
I'm not going to be responsible for my bloody actions!!!
