What do you hear about Americans from Americans?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
|
|
|
|
|
Usually stories about shooting each other
|

OK, so we have deduced:
- Americans are @rseholes
- Britons are weird
I'd call that a satisfactory conclusion. Next meeting is Monday.

Fair enough. Who's in the firing line for the next meeting? (Hmm Probably the Americans again if it's a firing line)
|
|
|
|
|
The French and the Teletubbies.
Should be enough to keep us busy for an hour.

Split the difference:
- Americans are gun-happy @rseholes
- Britons are weird @rseholes

Sounds like a fair assumption.

Maybe, but where are the Britons? The last time I was in London I saw Arabs, Pakistanis, Indians, Swahilis ..... The list goes on and on. There was a single fella in a bowler with a brollie - obviously a civil servant. And nowhere did I hear the Queen's English spoken.

They were all in Rome, when I was there a few weeks back.
But now I'm wondering where all the Italians have gone.

Yeah. I can ask the same question about the whereabouts of New Yorkers!

I appear to work with them, try Chippenham...

There used to be a great chippie in Chippenham (the irony only just struck me!), round the back on the south side not far from the Virgin club.

I'll give you a clue, it has something to do with the initials RB!

The first copy of Tubular Bells that I bought didn't have a hole in the middle.

+5 for the biggest leap in context I've seen in a while!
I used to have a t-shirt with an image of dog poop mimicking the Tubular Bells cover captioned "Tubular Smells"!

Quote: south side not far from the Virgin club. That club is still there dodgy name and all. I must confess to just getting off the train & getting on haven't really had the chance for a look around yet. I am working out at Bumpers Farm.

The club used to be one of my customers when I was in the booze business (as did the one in Bristol) Mind you, that was a lifetime ago (late 80s)!

But were you in Bristol?
Talking of Bristol, I lived there 14 years and I really don't think it's representative of Brits. Apart from anything they keep sticking Ls where they don't belong. I told my son that if he ever came home from school and said "That's a good ideal", he was out.

Sadly no, I have never been to Bristol. However, I am no Henry Higgins and I should avoid commenting on the way others speak English.

Henry Higgins be damned, if there's no L, then there's no L!
Even the place name used to be Bristowe; even Somersetonians don't do that. I think excess Welsh Ls (that have lots of them) have been slipping across the Severn estuary for centuries.
