| 811007 | 2009-09-17 06:55:00 | I was not aware that the (slightly) insane ramblings of John Cleese would elicit such a well thought out reply . I usually lose interest in a reply that long, but you kept my interest right to the end . Very well said, Joe . I'm certain Her Majesty will be pleased - but she's coming to reposses, nevertheless . Please be a good chap and pack your bags and remove all your belongings before the end of this month . Ta . Right on, Gov! :thumbs: Bags are packed, ticket bought! Meet me at the airport - I'll be wearing a single yellow rose in my lapel to assist you in recognizing me . My belongings are all in my backpack and I have very few actual dietary requirements other than needing some Kool-Aid and potato chips from time to time . Does your TV work? Is it digital? How many channels can it receive? Do you have a box that makes things cold? Do you have electricity? Water? Soap? We're gonna be such close friends - I can just feel it! |

| 811008 | 2009-09-17 06:59:00 | Here's some more that only poms can think up Cirencester......pronounced Cicester by some usually the gentry, said to have been conjured up by Shakespeare in Richard II Smethwick....pronounced usually as Smethick, but if from Brum and the Black Country then nearly always Smerick. Edit: just found this list of pronunciations for Joe to learn www.hintsandthings.co.uk Edit again: Like it says "The actual pronunciation is not going to be easy to explain but I will try to do it phonetically, it will, however, rely on visitors knowing a little about the English language." Note. it says knowledge about the English language, not American or New Zild language :) Ter,would it be reasonable to ask the Maoris to pronounce English perfectly as they expect us to pronounce their languge perfectly? |

| 811009 | 2009-09-17 07:17:00 | I guess no of you has been to England then since all you Nancies think the beer is warm. Real beer is served cold. Not frozen to hide the fact that it's just swill like all ,ass produced Kiwi and Yank beer. Sure there are some real nice New Zealand Beers, but you won't find them in most bars. Speights, VB, CD etc is a very very poor imitation of beer it so tasteless I'm surprised they can find enough gullible people to make a profit | gary67 (56) | ||

Speights, VB, CD etc is a very very poor imitation of beer it so tasteless I'm surprised they can find enough gullible people to make a profit I've been to England - Wandsworth SW18 to be exact, and they had the imported "French-style" refrigerators: The kind with a hole in the back that is open to the outside ambient air and that's what passes for refrigeration! C'mon youse guys! I was just answering Cleese's sardonic and witty statements with my own prevaricated ideas and shoulder-chucks. I love all of youse! Doncha know it? Even warm-beer Brits! But I want it known that I am moving in with Roscoe for the first year or so. Then I will hold a drawing for the privilege of having me as a live-in border for your very own! Don't fight over me - there's enough of me to go around! NOTE: Metla may be next in line though. |

| 811011 | 2009-09-17 07:56:00 | Thanks for this, Joe: § Any modifications to the library at M$ will be considered AFTER Mr. Gates returns to take the reigns of his company - which has (BTW!) a cash flow more than three times the UK total national financial base. Let's not forget that the financial whiz kid administering this vast fortune is :banana:banana:banana - a Kiwi. |

| 811013 | 2009-09-17 08:23:00 | The Queen is set to lead the invasion fleet of Giant British Flying Machines as soon as they can get the Household Cavalry Chargers properly broken to the task of powering the things. The regular motive widgets are infested with Lucas, with predictable results. The only thing in favour of English beer is that the great majority of it is as geographically remote from us as we can arrange. The English don't actually prefer tepid beer, it's just Lucas fridges.Actually, due to what they erroneously call a climate, the beer even from a real fridge would taste warm to them. |

| 811016 | 2009-09-17 23:19:00 | You must prefer that gaseous water the yanks call beer! Nah, it is the temperature I have a problem with. You see, they don't have any really hot days so they can't appreciate a cold beer after mowing the lawns. Ken |
