schadenfreude Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Is there possibly a punishment for mistakes?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes. Cast your lovely eyes but a few pages previous to this and you will find myself rebuking myself most sternly.And I'm afraid all American comedies are weak at best. Friends is horrific. British comedies are far superior. Have any of you fine fellows seen "Extras" yet? That, ladies and gentlemen, is televisual entertainment at its best.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>American TV is depressing (especially MTV), save for South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, Ren & Stimpy and the like.

one man band Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I have a question. Why do British people still spell honor with a 'u' while Americans don't? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>16.7% more value in European honour than in American. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well said! This particular post had me almost chuckling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were not for them, irritating little tykes would find it absolutely hilarious to smear snot and other undesirable fluids all over one's incredibly expensive new Armani suit.

blurdk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I am most delighted to have entertained. I do, however, feel bad now. Let us not forget that what we should actually compare is European and Canadian honour to that of South (of the Canadian border) America.

That is a sentence fragment!Off with you! :evil:<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I was actually referring to this: The most depressingly unfunny program ever to be created.

Any further mention of the English lack of superstar looks will be further tamed with mentions regarding the origin of the Australian people.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The Australian team is yucky and old. Also, I don't think the inclusion of McGrath in the fifth test shall make any difference. It is the fall of an era, sadly. Not to worry though, we shall come back and claim back what's ours.I might have to comeback to your remarks about the Australian people with taunts about England's sporting incompetence, and remarks about the English team's lack of ability to win the Ashes from a team of convicts for the past 16 years!

Any further attmepts will be stamping on well-trodden ground. You may lash out if you so desire, but we English are a wary nation full of contempt for those more fortunate than we.
