Worship everything British the way that America does? I mean why do we care about that baby? Sometimes i feel America still sees itself as a british colony. Don't we have more important things to worry about? Like finding that Russian who got away on the Sopranos?

 

sheesh.

The only reason I do is because I think Kate Middleton is a hottie, but that's just me...

 

I am with you on this one. Now I am just waiting for the post pregnancy boom in the upper region area for her...wink...wink...:madgrin:

I always wondered what happened to that guy. And I can't stand hearing all the news about the new baby.

I'm not an Anglophile, we did fight a couple or wars against Britian for our independence, but the royal couple seem like great people. It's the media has just gone overboard on reporting daily for the past 6 weeks on the pregnancy and quite frankly I'm fatigued with it. I fully expect this media frenzy to continue awhile longer and that is perplexing.

Sounds like you guys are making lame excuses like when someone says they buy Playboys for the articles.8-).

 

it's not just this baby stuff, it was us going on and on about the queens Diamond jubilee, The Royal weddings? I was older then I should have when I learned that Diana was from England. As a kid seeing all of the hype over the wedding, I assumed she was an American and the press was making a fairytale like story of it.

 

I don't find russell brand or rickey gervais funny but then it's my fault because I'm too unsophisticated to understand British humour. Why is it they can come over here and trash our government and we sit back and take but when people from other parts of the world do it we get offended? Too me it's funny to see an American visit England for a few days and return claiming they now have an accent but English people who have lived in the US for decades never get an American accent.

 

Does England treat our aging past their prime athletes like gods the way we do David beckham?

 

I don't know if any of you play or watch golf but those courses they play in the British ( I said british) Open-if those courses were in the US you couldn't pay a pro to play does worn out ugly, poorly laid out tracks.

 

And in the grand scheme of things, kates not all that hot

Watch Mel Gibson's The Patriot and Eastwood's Unforgiven for the English Bob beatdown scene. You will feel better.

I was visiting my uncle, who lived outside Toronto, when Princess Dianna died. I saw Canuck's openly weeping.

 

I don't really understand the fascination with their royalty, but then again I don't find the fascination with American celebrity. **** like the Kardashian's and Real Housewives of wherever... I don't get it. When I was in England last year, they had Kardashian **** all over the place, billboards and tabloids and ****.

 

The only thing I like about England is their TV shows, Sherlock, Doctor Who...good stuff. Food? Crap. Beer? Awful. Weather? Dreadful. Women? Hideous.

I like doctor who, and they had a show called Hustle that I really liked. Do they remake a ton of our shows like we remake theirs?

speaking of Canada, there are two Canadian shows That really like

 

Rookie Blue--It's sorta like the early years of Greys Anatomy except with Police. So far it hasn't turned to crap the way GA did.

 

Lost Girl--- I discovered this one on Netflix. I wasn't aware that it aired on cable in the US. Hard to discribed but a very exciting show.

 

So there is something good about Canada other then their Bacon:grin:

Todd and the Book of Pure Evil. One of the best TV shows I've ever seen.

Side note - I talked to a Canadian on visa in America. He is into socialism and liberal theology.

 

He got really loud and on obnoxious when I told him I'm not a fan of socialism and capitalism is what has made America exceptional.

 

He proceeded to tell me that I should just leave the country if I don't like socialism. I found this ironic since, he wasn't even a citizen.

Someone got loud and obnoxious when talking politics? Surely you're mistaken.;)

I was on vacation in Siesta Key Florida. I was sitting at the pool and had 4 Canadians at the table next to me. I said hello and how are you. I was then attacked by a drunken barrage of stupidity. I mentioned no politics.. I kindly asked them if if I was such a moron why don't you vacation in the frozen north? They left the hotel and got a DUI out front when they hit another car... Classic. By the way go **** yourself moron.
