this thread again? there's not even an r in the month

blueski, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:40 (seventeen years ago)

I couldn't find anything using SEARCH FUNCTION. apologies.

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:41 (seventeen years ago)

'Britishers' is just another kind of baby talk

maybe this was endearing

blueski, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:46 (seventeen years ago)

ha, that thread is a miniature goldmine of lol's, and is edifying as well. thanks!

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:50 (seventeen years ago)

Guaranteed victory over them in any sport. Including football.

King Boy Pato, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:52 (seventeen years ago)

yeah, because you fucking oz ppl are football royalty. c'mon now, son.

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:53 (seventeen years ago)

give em a break they're getting better at the rugger eh what

blueski, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:54 (seventeen years ago)

pretty good-natured about getting zinged.

darraghmac, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:54 (seventeen years ago)

(xpost) You obviously forgot that night at Upton Park five years ago, son.

King Boy Pato, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:58 (seventeen years ago)

gimme a break. i have pre-onset alzheimer's, son.

anyhow, y'all talk about "having a pint" instead of "drinking a beer"...and it's more ingrained into your culture without puritan baggage which makes going "to the bar" seem like some slightly naughty thing in the states

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:59 (seventeen years ago)

britishers- good losers, alcoholics. good thread so far.

darraghmac, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:02 (seventeen years ago)

haha!

i pine for pub culture, anyhow.

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:02 (seventeen years ago)

OH, ALSO YOU GUYS ARE SO FUNNY! BRITISH COMEDY IS SO FUNNY. YOU MAKE THE WHOLE REST OF THE WORLD LAUGH EVEN THROUGH OUR TEARS, YOU GOOD-NATURED TEA-ADDICTS, WITH YOUR RESIGNED SADNESS DRIPPING WITH DRY WIT AND CANDIED DROLLNESS!

I used the adjective "candied", because you all have a sweet tooth, and your candy kills American options.

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:05 (seventeen years ago)

The British are the people that gave us 'Allo 'Allo! How could you NOT find them endearing?

King Boy Pato, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:08 (seventeen years ago)

They had me at Lieutenant Pigeon.

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:09 (seventeen years ago)

we should have another thread on why we find britishers repugnant, for balance.

darraghmac, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:09 (seventeen years ago)

oh hey theres already one of those http://www.ilxor.com/ILX

Once we get the new board up and running, I intend it to be full of threads praising those great British sitcoms like say...Birds of a Feather.

King Boy Pato, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:14 (seventeen years ago)

i found birds of a feather sort of depressing as a child.

jeremy waters, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:15 (seventeen years ago)

the thin blue line

zing culture at it's best

The LBZC is pretty endearing, all in all.

Well, I found it quite educational.

Middle aged Jewish women are sluts! Truth!

This.

Dom Passantino, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:21 (seventeen years ago)

Although of the LBZC I'm not British, and Michael Philip Philip Annoyman took up Columbian residency after marrying his curvaceous wife.

Dom Passantino, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:21 (seventeen years ago)

haha

dell, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:22 (seventeen years ago)

i'da 'taken up residency' there too, what what?

darraghmac, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:28 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, well, I'm married to a zingy British woman, so.

King Boy Pato, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:30 (seventeen years ago)

Always able to muddle through somehow.

Aimless, Monday, 26 May 2008 17:22 (seventeen years ago)

the way they give you back the 26 counties after sustained terrorism and numerous failed rebellions.

Alcoholism as a national pastime.

Noodle Vague, Monday, 26 May 2008 18:26 (seventeen years ago)

Truth bomb with a coded truth warning phoned up an hour beforehand

Dom Passantino, Monday, 26 May 2008 18:30 (seventeen years ago)

i dont want to open up pandora's box, but it's really cute the way they don't rinse their dishes and radio dramas are still aired.

nine years pass...

how i feel most weeks in the obituary thread:

Englishmen communicate among themselves in a dense code language comprised of the names of television presenters that you've never heard of.
