To be honest it was the ABBA (or ABBA wannabe) soundtracks, not so much the sex...

**** off FFS. I know what I am saying, and believe it or not my grasp of English, written and spoken, is way better than the average American, who reads, writes and speaks AMERICAN. They are not the same language, it only looks that way...

And the First Amendment applies to me too and I choose to express myself using English.

That also goes for self righteous religious pricks who tell me I offend them for saying faggot... As in faggot, chips and peas, not 'gay'... That these words I use are the words of the Devil blah blah blah. Sanctimonious, hypocritical arse wipes. And anyway, I didn't offend them, they chose to be offended. There's a subtle distinction. and I choose to rant about them. And take responsibility for that too... Though from a distance, because some of them are armed too...

Right, I'm done. Back to watching some more Poirot...

Edit

I'm not done. Just seen an advert for Calzones.

It is pronounced Calzon-ay (sort of), not calz own. This is not an English-American thing, this is an American thing. Speak your own language properly you knobfacedarsebucketsmeghead.

And don't get me started on Parmesan.

Ok. Done.

1. SATX John's ears are probably still smouldering, even now.

2. Nice tipple, was it? :D

This conversation needs expanding. How can they go off on one, if all you said was "faggot, chips and peas"? We need to know more.

Not sure when you have the opportunity of saying "faggot, chips and peas" when in North America.

It could have been worse - he could have been using the 'bundle of sticks' definition. Imagine the reaction if he had mentioned on a cold day, that he was looking forward to getting home and throwing a couple of faggots on the fire :eek:

That's a point, and only peas, would make any sense, and then probably not; as it would be as out of context as "gays, crisps and peas" (they probably thought peas was a verb)

Very true - I forgot myself a few times with that one back when I was a smoker out here :lol:

What about minestrone? FOUR syllables, not bloody three. Plus which, you probably can't even get decent minestrone over here.

And they they have the gall to laugh at you for pronouncing the L's in "paella"
