sorry to poop everyone's party but this not the forum for slating people/peoples on the basis of their race, creed or nationality.
there are squillions of forums/newsgroups out there that welcome such talk but we're more interested in the language of love (or shagging, as the yanks now like to put it).
please try and keep the o/t posts from going ott.

My 'cri de coeur' prevented the cat from being kicked, and a possible prosecution for crulety.
And from my frequent praising of Jaded, I can hardly be accused of being a F/T Yank-basher.

Who me? My remarks the other day about them being cheeseburger addicts was tongue in cheek. I`ve nothing against the american people even if their president is a chimp.
They like to spread silly stereotypes about us brits all having bad teeth dont they. It seems hard to think of the yanks as persecuted when they are the richest country on the planet and their culture (or lack of) is copied by the rest of the world. And because of their economic and political power its the equivelant of sneering at an authority figure. I must have missed the really ott o/t`s which is a shame as I could do with a laugh.
I`m off to get a burger and a cold Bud.

Seems like 'freds that I've contributed to with some intent of humour (humor) have been pulled by the mods twice this week. Is it just that I'm O/T or controversial?
Ok. This is an adult BG's group and I give that respect, but without some larfs and piss-takes it would be a very sad and desolate place?
Back off umpires I suggest, give the mouse a rest....
Where is the line drawn? Don't tell me "in the sand"......
I've been to the sandy place.

Yank-bashing is easy. But, like every other attack on a nation or people, it's wrong. I used to think my own people, the sweaties, were decent and fair and tolerant, until the events of September 11 proved them to be just as prejudiced and nasty as the rest of the planet. Americans, as per their national stereotype, are loud, ignorant and obnoxious. That does not even vaguely resemble the Americans I have met and talked to, just like the stereotypes of Scousers being thieves, Welsh being whingers or Cockneys being racist wankers. If the Yanks resemble anyone at all, it's the Romans---taking other people's culture and incorporating it into their lifestyle.
Yes, some Americans are obnoxious gits But then so are many Scots, English, Irish and Welsh. Nuff said.
PS--I'd like to have a cultural exchange with Stephanie Swift.

Why kick the cat? Is it a yank cat? Or am I missing the point as usual? REAL QUESTION- Why do Manx cats have no tails??
Dont kick Fluffy as he and I have become good freinds. He often replies to the mail I send you(the ones you cant be bothered with). He is very loyal to you JJ and he explains that you are out all night baking bread and peering through windows at the local hospitals nurses residence. He also said he is very disturbed about Sophie Raworth wearing trousers on Beeb Brekkie. I agree with Fluffy on that because since the Big Breakfast finished I go to work in a foul mood. Take note Tanya and Sophie, how can a man work without a flash of pants.
NURSE!! Valium please. I`m getting silly again. Oh, no not the strait jacket please. I promise to behave. Heeeeelpp..........................
