Some things to ponder about.

[speakers_86]

See, the problem is you're American, the subtleties of English are bound to be alien to foreigners.

If you read a history book, you'll be surprised to find out that Americans actually used to be Englishmen. We were speaking English long before you could ever have considered us "foreigners".

There is a little thing called the Atlantic Ocean between us, so yes, the way we speak the language has diverged from the way that you do (expectedly). If you don't like that, thats to bad.

You must be an awfully sour person. I have never seen you say anything positive. If that is what the British are like, I'm glad I am American.

You keep bashing Bush, but your not hurting anyone's feelings (unless Bush is reading your posts). Have you seen his approval rating recently? It's very low. He's not very popular, even here. So, really, you can stop with that now.

blah, blah, blah...

A rather childish response if I may say so, or have you been swigging the illicit liquor?

That was centuries ago before you let the Germans in

Yes Americans try and run the world based on that attitude

Only because of the losses of American servicemen, the hundreds of thousand innocent Iraqis killed because of American policy don't even rate a mention in America

You're right... I guess I was trying to put it in a context Col could relate to

Col doesn't drink illicit liquor

So something like gulp or swig instead of 'drink' ?

It's sipped slowly so as to savour the flavour, not swigged like moonshine

But after a pint or two I'm quessing he's more like swigging it down and not so much of sip thing

(He sure got yanked in crook about the drinking comment )

One doesn't drink Vodka by the pint, only the Ruskies do that, don't they teach you guys anything about life in the schools over there

Booze is booze

And what class did you take at school that covered drinking? 'How to be proper drunk 101'?

 

[Rich]

Booze is booze

Booze is for kids

Even your goats have drinking problems?

You'd be surprised how untrue that statement is. I'm sure it's only the biased news broadcasts of UK stations making you believe such things.

Nah, we actually get American bulletins here too

Yes, but see how it went downhill after the battle of independance and you were left to fend for yourselves.

I have never seen you say anything positive.

I don't like Ken. Is that positive?

You keep bashing Bush, but your not hurting anyone's feelings (unless Bush is reading your posts). Have you seen his approval rating recently? It's very low. He's not very popular, even here. So, really, you can stop with that now.

Yes, after January we'll start on Obama Hussein whats-his-name. We should start an online pretend book to take bets on when he'll be shot. I'm sure Ken is polishing his rifle as we speak.

Will the White House be the Coffee coloured house after January?

[KenHigg]

I don't like Ken.

Why not?

I don't care for the way you act sometimes but I wouldn't say I don't like you - ?

You don't give that impression in your posts.

So as long as that goes on, that's the way it will be, and I haven't even started on you yet, I'm just getting warmed up.
