TSD Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I'm definitely not anti-British, so I don't post anti-british shite which I find scary, and there is plenty of it. When a moderator starts posting completely unrelated crap on LEF, it's a bad sign. If I wanted an anti-american slant, I guess I could go to plenty of other places. I was kind of hoping this was a sanctuary for auto enthusiasts of a lotus nature, no matter where they hail from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Dr_Fish Posted August 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ok... I think this is an example of (British) humour being lost in internet translation and two nations being divided by a common language! ...and I am the FIRST to post self deprecating humour when there's similarly dumb stuff about the UK / English / Welsh etc... Likewise if you found somethign similarly funny about us you would be perfectly welcome to take the piss! It's what mates do! EG He's talking about an ancient unrepealed law that permits the shooting of Welshmen by bow and arrow. I'm definitely Welsh... It's also definitely humour - no offense intended or taken! <incidentally that 'ancient law' is apocryphal - sorry to spoil it guys!> S'just humour guys! No offence was even remotely intended - you should know me better than that by now! I've spent about 6 months of my life in the States and constantly talk of moving to Cali! There are many funny things about many nations including our own... To say so is not hate! You've GOT to admit those guys are raving bonkers tho!!

Take off! Q: What do they call eBay in Canada? A: ehBay! bada-bing! (yes, I know it is a Canadian Company...) Okay . . . . How many American tourists does it take to change a light bulb? Fifteen. Five to figure out how much the bulb costs in the local currency, four to comment on "how funny-looking" local lightbulbs are, three to hire a local person to change the bulb, two to take pictures, and one to buy postcards in case the pictures don't come out.
