Unless I have to swear loyalty to the Queen or use "maths" to figure out my checkboook or spell stuff like "colour" or "tyre" or call the hood of my car the "bonnet" or the trunk the "boot" or call my work truck a "lorry" (damned if I'll do that >:(), then let them postwhore all they want.

It's kind of a nice change from the normal I know you are but what am I discourse that continually goes on in here.

I don't understand a lot of Brit politics, so I haven't even opened most of them.

Ever notice how similar Kingdom and Kinkydom is?



George Bush met The Queen, and he turns round and says: "As I'm the
President, I'm thinking of changing how the country is referred to, and
I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom"

The Queen replies "I'm sorry Mr Bush, but to be a Kingdom, you have to
have a King in charge - and you're not a King."

George Bush thought a while and then said: "How about a Principality
then?",

To which the Queen replied "Again, to be a Principality you have to be a
Prince - and you're not a Prince, Mr Bush".

Bush thought long and hard and came up with "How about an Empire then?"

The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replies "Sorry again, Mr
Bush, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge - and you
are not an Emperor."

Before George Bush could utter another word, The Queen said: "I think
you're doing quite nicely as a Country".

I've never thought it a mistake or a coincidence that "Brit" rhymes with "twit".

I rented all the "Yes, Mr Minister", and "Yes, Prime Minister" DVD's.
Best written sit-com I've ever seen!:D
