I’ll give you $10 bucks! Thats twice what you paid for it.
(counting change in pockets)
I bid $37.32.
Will the inhabitants be evicted prior to closing?
If I buy it, does that mean I could be a dictator, then? I don’t think I want Welwyn Garden City, and there is a whole lot of London I don’t want, and come to think of it, I don’t know whether I’d want Blackpool or Birmingham, (but Coventry is oddly entertaining) but on the whole, the place might be a bargain.* I have £11.36, but I’m sure I would be really good at being a dictator, honest, guv, and I do beg you to give my application the most earnest attention and consideration. I’ve never tried it before, (being a dictator, that is) and have no qualifications in that area, but what the hell, dictators don’t need those things.

I think you’d make a terrific dictator, Celyn, mostly because you’re approaching this from such a sensible angle.
Most dictators don’t offer to buy the place, they just kill a lot of people first; wasteful not to mention nasty and dishonest. Most of them have NO sense of humor, and less dress sense. Somehow I can’t see you peacocking around in badly cut gray suits or light opera military uniform clinking with medals, soda can rings, bottle caps, etc.
I bet you’d come up with some kickass, fun edicts while you were at it, too! Besides, I don’t know anyone remotely powerful or influential–and just think of the DopeFest you could throw!
Veb
I’d be happy to, if someone could please tell me first what the hell a “Cheque” is.

So, may I use that lovely recommendation as a sig then, please? Ha! I am glad that someone recogonises the cleverness of my grand and wonderful plan. First, of course, many existing politicians must die, (all must take dancing lessons at this point) and then more politicians ands newspaper owners, and some other people shall be disposed of, (but not Morris dancers, for they are fun really), and then more, and more …and a few more too. OK, eventually I really would become a really nice dictator, and all would perforce like me, apart from those who keep Yorkshire terriers, for they are not pleasing in my sight.
Oh, and television producers will come under a LOT of scrutiny too. And possibly under a guillotine.
Have you tried eBay? That’d be a hoot.
I think someone should start up a story claiming that the European Union is going to buy England for 10 billion Euros. Now that would get The Sun choking on its pint…a possible headline:
FROGS AND KRAUTS PUT ENGLAND’S MOUNTAINS GREEN ON THE BLOCK FOR EURO FUNNY MONEY
Actually, this thread reminds me of an amended graffiti I saw in Oxford:
FREE TIBET when you buy any two other Asian nations of a larger size
[Smartarse on]
only if you can explain what “color” is.
Duke, it would be more like
[bold]EURO FAT CATS GET SCEPTERED ISLE ON THE DUTY FREE
Orkney’s cubic zerconia thrown in for free [/bold]
Just to sweeten the deal (or sour it in some peoples eyes) I am offering Norway as a “buy one get one free deal” ! Let the offers continue. Celyn had the best arguments but Lissa bid $37.32. Ooooh decisions decisions!
2 for 1 deals? are you sure you dont mean Iceland?
[rimshot]
I’m in. I’ll give you 150 sackie dollars (pre-rolled for your convenience) and one buffalo nickel for it.
But…
For engineering reasons you have to throw in the Falklands. My plan is to tie some really strong ropes to the falklands and Lands End and give the winch on my Jeep quite a workout over a couple of days. At the end of which the Falklands will be of the coast of Brazil and England will be somewhere near Florida.
So voila! I turn the Falklands from a sheep herding land to an exotic resort community just ready for 'Temptation Island II: The Funny Accents" and I kick Florida out of the US and replace it with a group of people who can maybe figure out how to vote!
So who’s with me here?
We also have nudity, sex scenes and swearing on television, if that helps?
I thought there had been a recall notice on the UK due to a defective Northern Ireland and some minor problems with the cattle…
Especially with that naked idiot revealing his shortcomings in court the other day.
The hubby would like the LA Times to start featuring a Page 3 Girl from now on, any idea who I should call?
TonH- we now have nudity, sex and swearing on TV- it’s called “NYPD Blue.” Great entertainment, if you can call Dennis Franz’ big, hairy, white ass entertainment…
More naked Ricky Schroeder!
Lord, this became quite a naked rant, didn’t it? Maybe I should go home for lunch…
