I have to say, in defence of Ms Zeta Jones-Douglas ("Zeta" was her grannie's name -- she pinched to make her own name more memorable), that as skinny birds go, she's not bad. I mean, Liz is more the sort of size & shape that I would normally go for (Mrs P permitting), but I do allow exceptions occasionally. Marilyn Monroe was size 16, did you know?

Sean connery may live in Spain, LTS, but he's certainly British in origin. Pops up here in St Andrews periodically, but then so do Michael Douglas and the Zeta chick :) Kidlet, too.

Remind me again why we'd want Madonna back, and give up a beautiful piece of land, even if it is populated with Kennedys?

Alex, nice one! :-) But...

Also, we had a problem with Tony Blair personally, as he is so overtly stupid.

Excuse me, isn't the US the country that brought us JFK (corrupt and shagged anything in a skirt), Nixon (corrupt but a non-shagger), Reagan (paranoid right-wing dummy) and Clinton (corrupt and a shagger again), plus the recent Tweedledum and Tweedledee show? As far as stupid leaders go then, "Oi kettle, you're black!"

Tax-wise, our fuel prices deter unnecessary use of cars. This means that we don't get out our 7-litre SUV to drive ourselves 20 yards down the road to the shops. This has the knock-on effect that most British ppl are in pretty good shape physically, unlike American where a clear _majority_ are overweight. "Who ate all the pies..."

Wavestar, a suggestion - rugby players have to be able to run around, even the forwards, and they have to be able to keep this up for 80 minutes continuously. American football players have to be able to keep going for 10 seconds max. Does this suggest anything about required fitness levels?

Grab.

Matt R - Whaddya mean? How can a guy who loves virtually every song ever recorded since 1910 listen "to British rock almost exclusively"??? Not bloody likely. BTW, how's the Dylan catalog going? Listened to "John Wesley Harding yet?

Thread creep, eh?

Mousethief - A marvellous and timely response to the absurd notion of British recolonization of the USA. Well done. A much more supportable notion is the Canadian takeover of the USA, which is well under way even as I speak. Our undercover operatives (like William Shatner and Jim Carrey) have already hopelessly befuddled and compromised America's whole sense of itself, and we will soon have you all singing "The Maple Leaf Forever", and drinking Canadian beer, while attending spin-the-bottle parties till at least 11 pm (!!!), and consuming vast amounts of maple syrup and back bacon. Beauty, eh?

Our objective, aside from providing you all with FREE HEALTH CARE and Resdan, is to sieze some of that vast wealth and power which is so wasted on you guys who don't really know how to enjoy it properly. I mean, you have elections that last 2 and a half years! That's not what I call knowing how to enjoy oneself. It's also a bloody waste of time and money, with a very dubious outcome...specially this last time. But I digress...

We're not greedy. We only want 10% of your vast wealth and power. We're gonna give the rest of it to the 3rd World peoples, and raise them up to a decent level of relative equality with the developed world. Your flags will be used to make pajama tops and bottoms, until existing stocks are used up. The "Spar-Fwangled Banner" will be turned into a fast food jingle.

Like I said, beauty, eh? :-D

Actually I think "The Star Spangled Banner" makes a very nice baseball game overture, thank you very much. Especially since the last 2 words are "Play Ball!"

What's Resdan?

Sadly, Grab, I don't think British people are any healthier than Americans, and I DO live here. I think it has to do with eating chips and everything fried, constantly. Not that I object to all the pastry, I love it, but it's not good for you. On average, there are healthier people at home in Vermont than here in St Andrews. And you really ought to do something to improve the overall dental hygiene of the country.

Football - I don't follow, I wouldn't really know. But I firmly stand behind this when I say I would have no preference, between football players and rugby players, as to whom I'd rather not have angry with me in a dark alley. To be honest, I think they are likely in equally good shape, it's just that rugby players don't mind havng their ears torn off. And, I think, from what I've seen, American football players are bigger. Not fat, mind you, just plain huge men. African American athletes tend to be...

Steve - who is Mrs P? What has she to do with permission?? And yes I did know that Marilyn was a 16, it's amazing what spiral stitching can do for a bustline, even moreso than the wonderbra....

When ever and where ever sunshine, just give me the word.....

Resdan (I may have mispelled it...it might be Rezdan) is an anti-dandruff medication that is ONLY AVAILABLE IN CANADA! Rather like Red Rose Tea, and televised coverage of the House of Commons in session. These are all products so exciting in their basic nature, and so absolutely vital to the "pursuit of happiness", that your future as happy and fulfilled Americans obviously is in major peril without them. Therefore I suggest that you yield to the inevitable Canadian takeover with rejoicing, not resistance. Resistance is futile anyway.

Then what's in those boxes in the supermarket that SAY that they're Red Rose Tea? Is this an insidious plot to make us THINK we're drinking Red Rose Tea when in fact it's Red Camelia Tea or Crimson Rose Tea or some other substitute? Or are you merely saying that what comes in the "Red Rose Tea" box down here doesn't compare in quality/fragrance/taste/whatever with your Red Rose Tea up there? Or did you just screw up?

Whichever it is, I don't want to be taken over by people who make that mistake.

Grins,
Alex

Little Hawk, is that why we get all these Canadian "tourists" down here every winter? Just part of the takeover plot, right?
So why do they cry when it's time to go back to the Great Frozen North (Canada for those of you who have never been there)!?

Liz, I fear you may have been a little confused by all those years of listening to the Archers: I', not talking about Mrs Perkins, Peggy's late mother and the cause of Walter Gabriel's enormous throughput of Kleenex! My Good Lady Wife, Sue Parkes, She Who Must Be Obeyed, is the one to whom I refer.

Talk about thread creep!

Ah, this is a thread so you must creep. I don't listen to the Archers, ever since they killed off whatshername, Doris or Gladys....

Mrs P can come too if she likes beer..... what, you thought I meant something else? Have you been talking to Gervase??!!

Mousethief - I realize that what certainly appears to be Red Rose Tea is also sold all over the place in the USA...but that doesn't change the fact that for years and years there were these TV ads in Canada showing distraught citizens of the United Kingdom wringing their hands over the fact that Red Rose Tea is "only available in Canada". "They say it's better than our British tea!", one upper class twit would exclaim in shocked tones, as another similar twit cautiously tasted a cup of the divine elixir. The 2nd twit would then muse "...only available in Canada, you say? Pity!"

Now I ask you, Mousethief, would the Canadian advertising industry lie????? :-)

And Troll - the reason those Canadian "tourists" cry is twofold...1. the winter can be bloody awful up here, which is why we intend to occupy the southern USA as soon as possible and resettle it with cold-intolerant hosers.

and 2. They're lulling you into a false sense of security.
