Election in the USA & already bitching is going...

[HPmuirt]

what next all the indian and black people out to ?..

Nope, happy with them - they don't winge and whine about not having their own parliment but when they get it, be unable to stop meddling in ours

I tell you what, the day I stop hearing the Scots moaning about Thatcher and the English, I'll stop moaning about Blair and Brown

Seeing so many of my fellow Americans willing to endure monstrous waiting lines ( funny Brits with their "queues", french word for "tail" btw telling us how to write color and aluminum) just makes me really proud whatever your political beliefs are.

It's gonna be hard to criticize our democracy after that !

Well not so hard for many but at least the turnout !

You are funny ....You live with the Poll Tax for a year and see if you would be happy ..the only reason she came up against all the stick was about the Poll Tax and testing on the scottish first to see if it would work ..that was wrong!!..so much for a United Kingdom!

And if you think for 1 minute you can spout of stuff like Jonny Foreigner(meaning scottish people) in the same sentence, I dont think you will stop scots moaning at you

I did, I was in Scotland at the time and my take on it was a tax is a tax is a tax. I don't like paying 40% tax plus Nat ins any more than the rest of you but the government will tax the hell out of you where ever you live and irrespective of the name of the tax.

so much for a United Kingdom!

Not so united when the Scots and the Welsh want their own assemblies but still want a share in government handouts payed for by the taxation of the 45M English citizens

I can and I will continue to. I have lived in Scotland and I have to say I was treated like a *****phile in a playground because I had a southern English accent and Thatcher was in power (have you suffered similar abuse in England...I very much doubt it), so get off your high horse and either laugh with me at a brilliant expression with simple means 'anyone not my nationality' or use a funny retort about the English that I can laugh at with you

We've got a different legal system up here and apparently everybody called Simon with a southern english accent is a *****phile , what was wrong with you that you didn't stay down souuuuuuuuf, were you chased out of dodge

keep sending them undergraduates up here to study, really helped pay for my Masters and the Doctorate , and without them we'd probably have to fund our own education system

Funny, the English tried a Poll Tax on us once. Took a few years, but we threw the whole lot out.

[GazzaG60]

the england scotland thing is great banter. always has been.

the scots will always be pissed with being "owned". trouble is you have to pay for what you own.

seems like america is more united than the kingdom

thank god for oppression.

your beer's crap too.

Gee and I thought this was just banter.

You know usually I don't reply to cheap shots. But this time, what the hell. I hate being grouped with everyone else.

Oppression, we just took up where the brits left off.

Beer, swill, same thing, I don't drink yours or ours. And tea sucks.

Thanks,

Steve.

maybe you should've piped up earlier Steve, are you now the sole arbiter of when threads close ?, maybe spend a wee bit less time "pumping" the glamour shots threads mate , life's too short

[Fat Audi 80]

Hi Eric,

No, there are half a dozen other mods and two admins that can close threads too.

I am just trying to keep it nice friendly, is all.

Cheers,

Steve.

Si must be working away or we'd have had a worthy retort by now
