Bloody Americans! no wonder no one likes you!

[red indian]

Just watched CBS news with that wierdo Dan Rather, footage was repeatedly shown of "The Americans in Bahgdad" which contained footage of the Brits doing the business in Basra,no mention of the fact we were looking at the Brits in Basra. Is it really that painfull for you to aknowledge the good work your allies are doing?

 

[Hitman]

No, not for me anyway. Im proud to call the UK our allies and think they are doing a Awsome job is Basra.

 

[red indian]

Thanks Hitman.............

......I appreciate that. It must be just CBS then!

 

[Neutron]

Now Wait..

I acknowledge good work when I see it. And I've said the Brits are doing a fine job. AND I have sent care packages to our Brit allies virtually everyday since this began.

Re: Thanks Hitman.............

......I appreciate that. It must be just CBS then!

Indeed Mate, I watched some great footage on CNN late 2 nights ago that showed the Brits making friends with the Iraqi's by actually playing with the children .

Commentator.. " and the British show the Iraqi children just how human they are as only the Brits can do..by losing at football"

This said as one Iraqi child scored a goal against the soldiers.😉

I have always been supportive of our British allies and have always been happy to have them on our side!

[JoBelle]

OK, so yep. An American reporter for an American station reports about Americans to Americans. THAT'S a good reason to hate us.

You can bet damn sure that all the other countries in the world are always pointing out the GOOD Americans are doing. 🙄 Thank God!

Red, get off your limey high horse and take a pill, love. You were way off mark on this one.😛

Oh stop...

You know ya luv us red...it's just your weekly "burp" of British (attempted)humor. No truer friends hath we and all that nonsense...lol. You may fool the rest, but I know ya best! Now take that American flag down and put it away before it gets any warm beer upon it. Q

 

[JoBelle]

LOL Q~!

Must we revive the old thread about Red and his "humour" from long ago that for some ungodly reason made me adore him so? 😛

My little English tickle-toy gets his nose bent out of joint once in a while and needs it tweaked back into place. You're too nice to him. Rough him up a little! Sheesh!

You guys going soft in your old age? 😛

[Hitman]

NO 2 Arimes know how to kick ass like the Americans and the Britsh.

 

[Deleted member 2452]

nothing to get your panties in a bunch over!

it was a mistake. some numpty of an enginer put on the wrong clip, thats all. i have no use for dan rather and will gleefully admit he is a weirdo ,but i don't think he knew of the film clip mistake, and kept reading the copy he was given.
tell your boys to keep up the great work they are doing.

[red indian]

Yes sorry folks...........

.......i should have given a little more consideration to the title of the thread, I know you all apreciate our support and we are glad to be giving it and I am delighted that we have managed to do as well as your guys. I must learn not to post after a night out on the "wife beater" but I WAS rather miffed at the presentation method of Dan "Blather" and his chums.

 

[TicklingDuo]

I never much liked Dan Rather anyway. He gives everything his own view...no matter what the facts are. Your seeing someone who (at least in some way) represents us to the world gives you a taste of who we might be. That the image is warped is HIS fault, not yours. I think you'll find that most Americans are very conscious and appreciative of the fact that the Brits (and others) have joined us in this struggle.

Dammit...

Speak English! "Wife Beater"...hmm...lemme see, could be:

Cheater--yeah, that makes sense..NOT

Meter---cripes, that's how you measure distances over there...also not very good

Two seater---we call that a bike, god knows what mess of a name you'd have for it

Neater--nothing with the word "neat" in it could possibly apply to you, so that's right out

Sweeter--see above comment times 10

Heater--hmmm, a gun in US slang, but not relevant here

Fleeter--implies "fast", also not a well known red indian trait, so that's not it

Jeter--plays SS for the Yankees, currently out with a dislocated shoulder, not a good bet in this context, although red may be a bit sweet on him, since Jeter IS a bonafide athlete who plays "without pads'...reds favorite thing

Liter, or litre--another unit of measuremnet, one that I'm SURE red is quite familiar with in relation to beer, but again, I don't see a connection with this latest phrase

Peter-- too easy, and Q doesn't shoot fish in a barrel.

Tweeter--audio component...dubious correlation, unless red was taking apart a set of speakers for some reason


Basically, it's more of that rhyming nonsense that gives the Brits something to do while watching what passes for TV over there, and I'm sure someone will be along to enlighten me eventually.
Q

 

[Admiral Trouser]

I beleive he's referring to the beverage Stella Artois, a drink that has steroids added to it and (reputedly) makes the drinker more aggresive, hence it being banned at large football matches across the country.

But then again, it could be some cockney ryming slang that I'm unaware of...

Brits only meausre distances in metres (note the correct spelling 😀) if they're pansy-arsed euro lovers who want to give Jaques Chirac some love-sausage, through the lips he never kisses with.

Two seater---we call that a bike, god knows what mess of a name you'd have for it

Erm........ a 'bike' is what we call it too. 😕

Neater--nothing with the word "neat" in it could possibly apply to you, so that's right out

Sweeter--see above comment times 10

Neener neener poo-poo, stick yer head in doo-doo, to you as well! 😛

Heater--hmmm, a gun in US slang, but not relevant here

A 'heater' is a rather archaic device used to warm up a room. Usually gas or electrically powered. Not needed in colder regions of the US as the residual fumes of chordite from pa's gun collection, or a roaring open fire that could serve as the beacon to a landing space shuttle usually does the trick. 😀

Jeter--plays SS for the Yankees, currently out with a dislocated shoulder, not a good bet in this context, although red may be a bit sweet on him, since Jeter IS a bonafide athlete who plays "without pads'...

You mean there's an American Football player who's NOT afraid of breaking his fingernails? 😱

Liter, or litre--another unit of measuremnet, one that I'm SURE red is quite familiar with in relation to beer, but again, I don't see a connection with this latest phrase

Another minging, arsey, European measurement that's being forced on our shopkeepers, with the threat of massive fines if the don't adopt the crappy things instead of good old measurements like miles, pounds, ounces and yards. Remember now, the EU is there for the benefit of us all, okay? 😡

*1 litre is slightly less than 2 pints I think*

Tweeter--audio component...dubious correlation, unless red was taking apart a set of speakers for some reason

Yup, pretty self-explanatory........... for once.

Basically, it's more of that rhyming nonsense that gives the Brits something to do while watching what passes for TV over there, and I'm sure someone will be along to enlighten me eventually.
Q

Passes for TV??? I'll have you know that the Carry On films were televised on Iraqi TV until it went off the air due to a bad case of cruise missile allergy! Now that is a compliment when a country that hates your guts televises your shows, ain't it? When was the last time you saw Home Alone or Dharma And Greg on Saddam TV? 😀

 

[red indian]

Splice the main brace!............

.......the Admiral,s got the right answer.

Good to see "Venners" and the "Q miester general" arranging a bit of incoming ordanance for me! now where did i park my Challenger 2?

 

[JoBelle]

SS for the yankees is a great thing in American football.😛

**giggles**

I don't catch 'em often, but I'm sure proud when I do!

I so dig this trend of Yanks learning Limey-speak. I'm gettin' pretty good at it thanks to a couple of tmf teachers. 😀

Joby, UK's next PM. 🙄 😉`

 

[qjakal]

Now now,

Be nice Ms Jobina...Although not knowing about the Yankees is a bit much, even for red, I must admit I never have even a vague clue what sport the teams he names are on about...Manchester Mumblers or whatever they are...I always assume it's soccer, but really don't have a clue, so I'll give red a pass on not knowing the Yankees are the most famous baseball team in the world, by far. Q

Soccer? SOCCER?!?!?! What the hell is that? OH!!! You mean FOOTball Q? As in the sport that really is played with the foot? 😀😀😀 As opposed to that funny American game of mostly-throwing-with-the-arm-but-kicking-with-the-foot-every-10-minutes-or-so-ball? Ah, I see.....much clearer. 🙄

And it's MANCHESTER UNITED!!!!!! for those of you who havn't heard of the greatest FOOTball team this side of Cydonia. (Even if we do have the world's most miserable bastard for a coach and the world's biggest male sex symbol, with the world's worst fashion sense for a white-boot-wearing midfielder.)


By the way Joby-Wan, what laws you thinking of introducing over here? 😀

 

[BigJim]

Re: Now now,

so I'll give red a pass on not knowing the Yankees are the most famous baseball team in the world, by far. Q

Well to be fair Q, it is a bit unfair to expect us to know about the Yankees. They may win the World Series more often than most, but if you guys would let the rest of the world actually play in the WORLD Series, then they might be a bit more well known.😀 😉 😛

 

[qjakal]

no prob...

You got it Greenie! We'll expect the UK team for an October series...should be a blast!

Seriously, I think that concept is coming eventually, but right now only Japan and Latin America could be competitive...perhaps Cuba, where the game is a passion, as well. And what's wrong with "soccer", btw? Perfectly good word!!

Re: no prob...

Q

Because it's a replacement for the sport's proper name, which has been usurped by a smegging sport that hardly uses the foot at all!!!! *deep breaths buddy, deep breaths*
