Hey, you two!

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ENGLISH STUFF?!

WE DON'T ALL SAY "PIP!PIP!" AND "OLD BEAN". PEOPLE WHO DO GET LAUGHED AT. WE DON'T ALL EAT FISH AND CHIPS. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I DID!

Actually, sadly, I think that most professional sports will soon die out, largely because of the greed of those involved. Clowns likw Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, and Derek Jeter have spoiled the game for the fans. Most people can't afford to attend a Major League game anymore. Even in the cheap seats it's close to $10 bucks a seat, combined with $10 for a program, $3.50 for a soft drink and $5.00 for a hot dog, OY-Vey!!![/b]. The same is true of Hockey, Basketball and just about every other sport. It's got to stop somewhere, and unfortunately, human greed won't stop the downhill slide until the whole thing caves in frown.gif.

I believe that bangers are sausages, although I can't remember what mash is!!

 

I have never been a real sports person. I like martial arts, figure skating, and extreme sports. My favorite sport is kickboxing. I'm not very good at it yet, but hey! I'm learning!!

1. I hat mashed potatato.

2. I last used the term "Yank" when I was nine.

3. Large English chips have less surface area and less fat.

4. Ever heard of New England? New Foundland?

Hudson Bay? Those were originally ENGLISH.

George W. Bush traced his ancestory to Essex. Essex, ENGLAND. SO STOP BEING SO STERIOTYPICAL. I COULD SAY A FAIR A BIT ABOUT OTHER PLACES BUT I DON'T!!!!

My most distant ancestor in America was a deserter from the British army. I'm not sure what the significance is there. biggrin.gif

 

So it's yanks and canucks versus brits, huh? Okay. *(Population of North America overwhelms the tiny island.)*

 

We are still just having fun, right?

I can sound just like I'm English. smile.gif I studied theatre in college, and we studied BBC standard king's english for a play we were putting on. I don't remember the specifics, but there were tricks used to train the tongue and all.

 

A few weeks later, I was stuck in a busy airport, talking to some people who were also stranded...including an older English lady. I'd been awake for like a day, and tired, and when I heard her accent I automatically slipped into it.

 

She thought I was mocking her at first. wink.gif It was embarrassing, but I explained myself.
