Tea is lovely, isn't it?
You'll have to read my mind to get the answer for that. If I speak Brit I will merely communicate through dirty looks and ESP. Oh and I may not concern myself with discussing the weather with you anytime soon. Good day to YOU sir!

That would be assuming there are British people who fix problems. I thought you all just silently sulked off and immersed yourselves in middle class charity functions?

What? Do you have any idea how rude and offensive that is to us Scots in an Aberystwyth accent?

I went there once. It smelt of fish. A bit like a poor relation of Skegness.

Anyway, us Brits like to take the piss out of anything, including ourselves, and I know many Americans who don't quite get the satirical humour.
Now we are onto something! I knew you could do it-you've finally gotten there! You see we Americans don't like to take the piss out of anything-especially ourselves, thus if you plan on living in our country, inside our walls- maybe respect that? Instead of forcing your ideals on us? You might actually try to ......adapt.... to our cultures (gasp)!

It's always been like that.

Though you should be grateful...because you get the talent over here, rather than the ex-cons living it up in Spain :D
And I was just going to suggest she try Plaza de Toros....

What do you mean plan on living here...I've been living here for 15 years and I'm an American citizen:thumbsup:

Who specifically did you get upset over? Maybe you should have wee word with them. Someone suggested it was your husband? Some sort of unpleasant domestic dispute? If so I'm sorry about that.

It does feel like a prison sometimes.

"I went there once"....well if I thought you were an idiot you have opened your mouth and removed all doubt. The Pacific Northwest includes four states and part of Canada. How was your trip "there"? And is Skegness your hometown?:)

We're after your freedoms.

I should keep a close eye on them if I were you.

Rains all the time, too. Very Skegness.

It can't be SATX, he'd have proudly posted a dozen links clearly arguing against his position by now. Must be the Middle East guy.
