Yes! The Modern Parents! My total favourites - I always save that one for last.

Can’t get Viz here. Damn censorship.

Anthony Hopkins is faking the Queen’s English anyway - he’s Welsh. From Port Talbot, I believe, which is an enormous steel refinery with a horribly depressing town attached to it.
That’s Sheffield, innit?
First…it’s southerner.
Secondly, if you are going to be picky about his post, get yours straight. Speaking incorrectly is not restricted to “uneducated American rural southernors”. Yankees cain’t talk werth a damn either.

<snip> Here’s a country that stood up to Hitler <snip>
As did the US, the Soviet Union, the Netherlands, Denmark, Beligum, and France. Don’t give me that look. If the German army didn’t wimp out and invade though Beligum (well sure it makes sense, but darnit that’s against the rules!) the French would have had something to say. The English were just lucky that tanks can’t float and Hitler was a dumbass (bomb London instead of their airbases, what a tool).
I do respect the Brits for not welching on their allaince with France. Hitler probably would have left them alone if London had said “Do whatever to Europe, but leave us alone” after Paris fell.
I do love England though. I was lucky enough to go 4 years ago. The accents, the redheads. It was a fight to get me out of the country.
By the by, is this a parody of another thread, or did you just fell like expressing your love of England and the language in the Pit, you rasberry tart.
Of course the english are great. I’m one, ain’t I? Oh right, it’s my dad that’s english, which makes me Canadian.
Fear my wrath NYC, I’m coming and I’m gonna make you take those terrorist alerts and stuff up sideways up your arse!
That was completely unintentional, wasn’t it.
Is welching/welshing a derrogative term? :eek:
I looked on dictionary.com and the verb was classed as origin unknown…
Ahhh, remembering the days when Pit rants were also sarcastic, goofy and funny…no, wait a minute, that was before I got here. Oh well, I’m sure this is a lovely throwback to some bygone era, and waves of nostalgia are being traded like used underwear on eBay.
I dunno – why do so many Americans move to the UK and love it here? Let me ask one:
So does that answer the question?

I admit I make mistakes from time to time. Those mistakes include spelling.
Of course it isn’t. As Brett Bulter said during one of her acts “I can’t understand why New Yorkers make fun of the way I talk. ‘Youse guys sound so stooopid.’”

What was that, the handwriting on the Mall?
Yes, was that a bad thing? Sorry if it was.
Still. There is a difference between still and again.
I didn’t mean they HATE England. I meant that they liked it here also. Sorry about that.
I was stationed in Europe in the early 70’s and I loved it over there.
I’d like to go back and live there if I could make a living.
Hey! You can’t fool us. You’re no American, you’reAgent Smith
it was that last line that REALLY gave you away
At least our cows are sane.
I must admit. I may be biassed (and drunk), but I do love the down-to-earth attitude of my fellow brits. I love that our coppers treat our criminals like friends. I love that we don’t pretend life is great. I love that most of us are anti-establishment (anti-govornment). I love that we would rather keep our trap shut than complain about bad service. I love that we will wait for a late train for an hour, and behave as if it was on time when it arrives. I love that our Prime Minister, while he may not be 100% truthful or honest - makes the ‘most powerful man on earth’ look like a dumb monkey. I love that our media seems to be truthful and unbiassed (little propoganda). I love our history (British empire. Kings and queens. chivalry, knights, swords, castles etc…)
As far as all the English speaking such awesome English, I have two words for you. If you are American, and have never heard these words, then you have been a hermit for the last 20 yeard. Two words: Benny Hill. Or Kieth Richards. Or those dudes from Oasis. I have seen interviews where they have english subtitles to read what they are saying!!
When Monthy Python did that “flying sheep” sketch, I realized, coming from the South, their country hicks sound just like ours if they had a British accent.
Sane but pumped to the hocks with antibiotics and growth hormone…
