This thread reminded me of one of my very favorite episodes of NewsRadio, wherein Dave Nelson’s long-guarded secret – he’s actually from Canada – finally comes out, prompting his hilariously pathetic explanation as to why he ever hid it in the first place.
How, exactly, did she get caught? How did you not get caught by most of your countrymen & women who posted opinions contrary to your own?
Agreed, L4L has the folks he claims to represent telling him he’s wrong.
As one of the people that L4L claims to represent, I can state with certainty that he/she is incorrect. I also posted similar in the original thread.
L4L is just a blathering idiot, I would suggest not wasting your time with him. He is one of those people for whom a little bit of information is dangerous, as he immediately thinks he knows it all.
How can I put this ?
Love you to death honey !
Translation: “I got nothin’.”

Unfortuntely my best frend was shot through the head, while in Ireland, and he was a non event.
I swear to god if Dr. Drake isn’t British nothing else in this world makes sense.
Seriously, this pitting is bad and you should feel bad. I feel like I wasted time reading the OP, then actually commenting on the OP, then actually spell checking the crap I wrote about the OP.
I could have jerked off in that time and been more productive.
You’re slurring your words. Spelling is going out the window.
I’ve lived in the East Midlands my entire life and most people I know don’t give a damn about the monarchy. It’s not that they wish to see it abolished (most don’t), they just consider it irrelevant to their lives. You might get the occasional dirty look if you criticise them in public but nobody I know has ever started an argument over it.
Well, quite. But, you know, Irish! and Foreigners! What don’t you understand about that? They come over here, steal our jobs and say nasty things about dear old Brenda! They refuse to eat cucumber sandwiches, and they don’t even like cricket. They argue with umpires! They cheer when they’ve won! And they practice beforehand, which spoils the fun.
Well, since nobody else has bothered to ask, I guess I’ll give it a try.
Why on Earth should anyone believe you that said event even occurred?
Geeze now I feel bad - I assumed it was hyperbole and actually laughed.
Apologies all around.
Man, I hate those dirty sumbitching Irish. Amirite, Lust4Life?
Marwood: [voiceover] If The Crow and Crown had ever had life it was dead now. It was like walking into a lung. A self-sustained nicotine-yellow and fly-blown lung. Its landlord was a retired alcoholic with military pretensions and a complexion like the inside of a teapot. By the time the doors opened he was arseholed on rum and got progressively more arseholed until he could take no more and fell over at about 12 o’clock.
[the drunken pub landlord opens the till and it hits it him the chest and he almost falls down]
General: Thought I was going for a minute. But no man’s put me down yet. Have you had any training in the martial arts?
Withnail: Yes, as a matter of fact I have. Before I became a journalist I was in the Territorials.
General: Do you know, when you first came in here I knew you were a services man. You can never, never disguise it.
Withnail: What were you in?
General: Tanks. Afrika Korps. A little before your time. Don’t suppose you’ve engaged, have you?
Withnail: Ireland.
General: Oooh, a crack at the Mick?
Withnail: We’ll have another pair of large scotches.
General: These shall be my pleasure.
[he pours their drinks]
General: What are you doing up here, then?
Withnail: We’re doing a feature for Country Life. Survey of rural types, you know, farmers, travelling tinkers, milkmen, that sort of thing.
General: Have you met Jake? Poacher. Works the lake, but keep it under your hat, hmm?
[they go and sit down with their drinks]
Marwood: What’s all this Army bollocks?
Withnail: We got a drink, didn’t we?
Here’s a post that backs up what she says.
Here’s another. That wasn’t hard. L4L, you were wrong about Dr. Drake’s claims being suspect.
There’s only one post in that thread made by Dr. Drake that sounds like it’s explicitly claiming British insight; it’s this one:
I mean, if you just fail to read the sentence I graped, then you could complain that it’s written as though from the POV of a native Brit, but then, if you failed to read the graped section, you’d have no reason to complain about that.
The amusing thing is that the person accusing Dr Drake of lying about his personal life has made a few eye raising claims himself. After all, he’s:
been a “Special Forces radio operator”
“worked in a nuclear weapons establishment”
“I have been a prisoner in the M.E.”
And that’s just the ones that spring out from a quick search. Now it’s entirely possible that he has led the colourful man of action life he describes above. Hell, it’s an anonymous internet board, so why would someone be sad enough to claim to being a former soldier with special forces experience who’s worked in the nuclear industry, been involved in revolutions, been arrested in the Middle East, had friends shot, and so on. However, it seems like arch rank hypocrisy to be quite so quick to accuse others of lying.
Dr. Drake is a fellow of the male persuasion. Here’s one of the threads where he talks about immigration issues between him and his British husband settling in the Canada together.
