Mick, you need to repost that in the thread I started, "Quip of the day". It's under the Conversation heading.
Feel free mate. I just made it up on the spot to get a rise out of Ed :).

Oh, you Gents are so nice! :p Me? I am the epitome of EVIL! :D
Terrible teeth though, generally, and really poor sense of colour. Plus they are often weedy with pale skin and runny noses, scabs on the knees and one sock fallen down. They bathe once a month and eat nothing but bread, chips and Brussells sprouts. They drink nothing but tea and stout and ale and are rather bawdy, making lots of jokes about boobies. Pretty good music though. They live in either tiny tiny tiny TINY little houses that you have to crawl in to or castles; nothing in between. They have a knack for taking over people's countries and pompously declaring them their own while setting the occupants to work manufacturing something for their use. They like boats and cars and dogs. The women like cats, cooking and needlework. They like killing their animals for sport, but do it with a high sense of fun and frivolity (not with deadly seriousness like the Americans and Canadians). They don't really like the French that much. They like Australia but can't live here for more than four years. They don't really like England any more because it's not like it used to be, is it, but the bits that are still green are nice and there's three trees they still call Sherwood forest. They masturbate often.
Carl you forgot gin and tonic, i have ironically quite gone off bombay now as it happens
Carl, quite simply, we are but animals, and as such make spur of the moment decisions, fight or flight. You may say one thing, but, in the moment do the exact opposite.
"There are four kinds of people in the UK -
First, there were the Scots who kept the Sabbath - and everything else they could lay their hands on;
Then there were the Welsh - who prayed on their knees and their neighbours;
Thirdly there were the Irish who never knew what they wanted - but were willing to fight for it anyway.
Lastly there were the English who considered themselves self-made men, - thus relieving the Almighty of a terrible responsibility. "
