Dear Sir,

Do you mean to say that the English are full of themselves, not well mannered, and don't have a sense of humour?

With warmest regards,
Thirsty Moore

Did I forget to mention, not in denial of their many faults?

Is that why the UK is considered a drinking culture?

Such as their inability to properly use the "reply with quote" function?

Not a problem for the English, given the state of English cuisine (is that an oxymoron).

Okay, so Yank you're (living?) in England now. Are you an ex-pat, or a Brit?

Mank is *so* obviously a Brit reluctantly in the U.S. (I agree about the Irish).

And Markie is another Brit living here, right?

Is that it for the limey contingent?

Judging from what I know of British food, I wouldn't eat much of it either.

Bags, If you go to previous topics you will see I've come to the defense of the US many times on this board when other members are really having a go at the country….I am here reluctantly but only poke fun at the place and it's natives.

Some people hate the place but stay here anyway, if I hated the place there's no way I would've stayed for the last 17+ years.

That's no lie. We got no Fullers ESB here.

I'll agree with you on that one! However, I don't mind a Sierra Nevada or Yuengling once in a while.

The Irish are just too drunk to realize what an obnoxiously loud, bellicose, oppugnant ass you are! ;)
