I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but as a brit i feel its my duty to let you all see this, and anyone who does not find it funny then you dont have a sense of humour. I also must say that i do realise not all americans are this dumb but from my personal experience they are very geographically arrogant, i was asked by an american once what "state scotland is in"...need i say more people, please take the time to read this its worth it...PROMISE

To the citizens of the United States of America, In
the light of your
failure to elect a competent President of the USA and
thus to govern
yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of
your
independence, effective today. Her Sovereign Majesty
Queen Elizabeth
II will resume monarchical duties over all states,
commonwealths and
other territories. (Except Utah, which she does not
fancy.) Your new
prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP
for the 97.85% of
you who have until now been unaware that there is a
world outside your
borders) will appoint a minister for America without
the need for
further elections. Congress and the Senate will be
disbanded. A
questionnaire will be circulated next year to
determine whether any of
you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British
Crown Dependency,
the following rules are introduced with immediate
effect:
1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford
English Dictionary.
Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation
guide. You will be
amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing
it. The letter
'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and
'neighbour',
skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness
on your part.
Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without
skipping half the
letters. You will end your love affair with the letter
'Z' (pronounced
'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix "ize" will be replaced
by the suffix
"ise". You will learn that the suffix 'burgh is
pronounced 'burra'
e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh
as 'Pittsberg'
if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.
Generally, you should
raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up
"vocabulary".
Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with
filler noises such
as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and
inefficient form of
communication. Look up "interspersed". There will be
no more 'bleeps'
in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough
to cope with bad
language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you
learn to develop
your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad
language as often.
2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let
Microsoft know
on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be
adjusted to take
account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the
elimination of "-ize".
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and
Australian accents.
It really isn't that hard. English accents are not
limited to cockney,
upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You
will also have
to learn how to understand regional accents - Scottish
dramas such as
"Taggart" will no longer be broadcast with subtitles.
While we're
talking about regions, you must learn that there is no
such place as
Devonshire in England. The name of the county is
"Devon". If you
persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States
will become
"shires" e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire,
Louisianashire.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast
English actors as
the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast
English actors to
play English characters. British sit-coms such as "Men
Behaving Badly"
or "Red Dwarf" will not be re-cast and watered down
for a wishy-washy
American audience who can't cope with the humour of
occasional
political incorrectness.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem,
"God Save The
Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We
would not want
you to get confused and give up half way through.
6. You should stop playing American "football". There
is only one kind
of football. What you refer to as American "football"
is not a very
good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there
is a world
outside your borders may have noticed that no one else
plays
"American" football. You will no longer be allowed to
play it, and
should instead play proper football. Initially, it
would be best if
you played with the girls. It is a difficult game.
Those of you brave
enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which
is similar to
American "football", but does not involve stopping for
a rest every
twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like
nancies). We
are hoping to get together at least a US Rugby sevens
side by 2005.
You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable
to host an
event called the 'World Series' for a game which is
not played outside
of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that
there is a world
beyond your borders, your error is understandable.
Instead of
baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game
called "rounders"
which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized
gloves,
collector cards or hotdogs.
7. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns.
You will no
longer be allowed to own or carry anything more
dangerous in public
than a vegetable peeler. Because we don't believe you
are sensible
enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will
require a
permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in
public.
8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November
2nd will be a new
national holiday, but only in England. It will be
called "Indecisive
Day".
9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap
and it is for
your own good. When we show you German cars, you will
understand what
we mean. All road intersections will be replaced with
roundabouts. You
will start driving on the left with immediate effect.
At the same
time, you will go metric with immediate effect and
without the benefit
of conversion tables. Roundabouts and metrication will
help you
understand the British sense of humour.
10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things
you call French
fries are not real chips. Fries aren't even French,
they are Belgian
though 97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered
fries while in
Europe) are not aware of a country called Belgium.
Those things you
insist on calling potato chips are properly called
"crisps". Real
chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The
traditional
accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served
warm and flat.
Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with
customers.
11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup
will be added to
all tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
this quantity
to be doubled for tea made within the city of Boston
itself.
12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling
beer is not
actually beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st
only proper
British Bitter will be referred to as "beer", and
European brews of
known and accepted provenance will be referred to as
"Lager". The
substances formerly known as "American Beer" will
henceforth be
referred to as "Near-Frozen Knat's Urine", with the
exception of the
product of the American Budweiser company whose
product will be
referred to as "Weak Near-Frozen Knat's Urine". This
will allow true
Budweiser (as manufactured for the last 1000 years in
Pilsen, Czech
Republic) to be sold without risk of confusion.
13. From November 10th the UK will harmonise petrol
(or "Gasoline" as
you will be permitted to keep calling it until April
1st 2005) prices
with the former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices
to those of the
former USA and the Former USA will, in return, adopt
UK petrol prices
(roughly $6/US gallon - get used to it).
14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without
using guns,
lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many
lawyers and
therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be
independent. Guns
should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult
enough to sort
things out without suing someone or speaking to a
therapist then
you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving
us crazy. Tax
collectors from Her Majesty's Government will be with
you shortly to
ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated
to 1776).
16. Last but not the least, and for heaven's
sake...it's Nuclear as
in "clear" NOT Nucular. Thank you for your
co-operation and have a
great day.

ANTI TERRORIST MEASURE:
We all know that it is a sin for an Islamic male to see any woman other than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does. So this Sunday at 4:00 PM Eastern time all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this Antiterrorist effort.
All men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not terrorists, and to demonstrate that they think it's okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American women. And since the Koran also does not approve of alcohol, a cold six-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-terrorist sentiment.
The American Government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.

WOW...very smart indeed, did the amazingly intelligent Mr Bush think that up all by himself
sazzy this gets posted on TT approximately every 2 months, nonetheless here is the equally unoriginal response:
QUOTE
The Supreme Court of Florida has instructed me to post the following to ensure strict balance in these turbulent times.
DECLARATION OF ANNEXING THE BRITISH ISLES AS PART OF THE USA
To the imperialist British colonizers.
In the light of your indecision over joining a common European Currency, your dissatisfaction with the European Union, your bickering with European Governments and the fact that you already almost speak our language and refuse to speak any other European languages, you are to be annexed as a State of America. Your state code will be GB. Zip codes will be assigned to replace your old postal districts. The state capital will be Stratford-upon-Avon which is a lot prettier than London. Princess Diana will be declared a saint. You have already assimilated so much American culture that you are unlikely to notice the transition. To aid in the assimilation, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. Look up "aluminum" in any good American Dictionary. Check the spelling and pronunciation guide. We discovered it, we named it, you are mispronouncing it. Learn to live with it. You are, of course welcome to your idiosyncratic and illogical place-names such as Edinburgh, if you wanted it pronounced 'Eddinburra' you have spelled it that way in the first place. You will quit using words such as "fortnight". The correct term is "a two week period". You will learn words such as "credenza", "intern" and "chad".
2. There is no such thing as "UK English". UK English is the relic of a defunct colonialist power which attempted to impose British English linguistic superiority on a nation which has a higher number of English speakers.
3. Your film-makers should learn to distinguish the American and Canadian accents. American accents are not limited to redneck drawls or New York accents. Mainland Americans have more than enough accents to cope with in our own country, so all British dramas will now bear subtitles, especially those made in impenetrable dialects such as Scottish, Scouse or Geordie. To make life easier for mainland America, all British films and TV programs must use American vocabulary and accents; Scotch characters will wear plaid, Irish characters will have shamrocks on them, Welsh characters will not be used since we don't have Welsh Americans, and English characters will wear bowler hats and pinstripes.
4. The British film industry will no longer portray all Americans as cowboys, rednecks, trailer trash or Beverly Hills billionaires. Hollywood will continue to use "Mockney" and "Posh" British accents as this makes it easier for viewers to identify which characters are British. You can have Hugh Grant back. He's a lousy actor and we don't want him either. All British films will be made in Hollywood where the weather and scenery are better. Your film industry is already unable to make a halfway-decent film which doesn't contain a American in the starring role. All American characters should be 'good guys'.
5. You will learn your new national anthem "The Star Spangled Banner". It shall be sung every morning at kindergarten, high school, university and your places of work. Your Union Flag will be hung up any damn way we wish so stop bitching about it being upside down. If there was meant to be a right way up you should have made it simpler. All Union flags will be replaced by the Stars and Stripes over a 12 month period of time.
6. You should stop playing soccer and rugby. There is no need to have two games, one of which is confusingly like Football and one of which is called football but patently isn't real football. If it doesn't require 45 pounds of padding, it isn't football. You should also stop playing cricket. Americans can't understand the rules. If you insist on playing this game which is only played by former British colonies, you will introduce a simplified scoring system, timeouts, colored strips and cheerleaders to make it more interesting. Any match which takes longer than 90 minutes will be declared a draw.
7. In films, as in real life, we decide who the bad guys are. The bad guys are those guys who don't do as we tell them. They are also the guys who attract the biggest audiences into movie theaters. You will cease using the word "cinema". They are "movie theaters". The snippets of forthcoming films are not "trailers" they are "teasers".
8. November 5th is no longer a day for fireworks. July 4th is the appropriate fireworks festival. If you want a big fireworks party on November 5th, we will help you to blow up your Houses of Parliament. You won't be needing them any longer; Disneyland London will be situated there. Hunting with packs of dogs is also banned. Instead, you will go hunting with a pick-up truck, some six-packs of beer, two coonhounds and enough guns and ammo to equip a private militia. There is also no such activity as "caravanning". It is properly called "camping". The thing boy scouts do with tents and bedrolls is called "tenting".
9. Roundabouts will be banned. What is the point of turning left in order to turn right? They are confusing to Americans and are death traps. You will start driving on the right with immediate effect. Most of the world drives on the right already. You will be allowed to turn right on a red light if safe to do so though you must check local county legislation as this is not permitted in all areas.
10. Those things which you call chips are cholesterol-soaked abominations. You will start to eat fries - light fluffy potato in crisp coating. If you want to eat British-style fried potato sticks you will need a certificate from your doctor and good medical insurance. Beer is to be served cold. The warm, flat drink you call beer is properly termed 'ale' and the FDA have determined it to be unfit for human consumption. You will also learn the difference between crackers, cookies and biscuits to avoid causing unnecessary confusion to mainland Americans.
11. All inter-personal communications between family members, even if resident in the same house, must be through a lawyer. It is compulsory to sue somebody at least once per year - be inventive. It is compulsory to have therapy three times each week and to recover false memories of your childhood which allow you to sue your parents and/or your therapist. Therapy will take the place of speaking to family members. You will be given compulsory courses on how to become dysfunctional. Name your children after interesting medical conditions.
12. You will not have guns. In the eyes of Mainland Americans you are wayward children. Children are not permitted to play with firearms unless they have a legitimate reason to do so i.e. they plan to gun down the population of a small town (self-defense) or slaughter every living creature within a mile radius (hunting).
Thank you for your co-operation. You will be assimilated.

Counter-terrorism experts say that Osama bin Laden may be hiding secret messages on pornographic websites. You know what that means, Clinton could find this guy before Bush
In response to that, i would have to say, that in order for people to speak a foreign language they actually have to be aware of the country's existence...so that rules america out, if you ask most americans where europe is, they will most likely they dont know, or in their own definition of "English" oh is that like some kinda nuuu state dude

This must be a seasonal, there was a rash of "Rest of the World vs the USA" posts last spring I seem to remember.
End of the day it is disingenuous for any of us living here to slag the Germans down as a nation since we all enjoy what they have created, ie a society that is safe, ordered and prosperous enough for us all to benefit from it.
However, there's always a however, it is more than slightly comical that with our more anarchic humour and moral tendencies that we can enjoy what they have created more than the architects themselves
Don't diss it, just enjoy it and accept that the quirks that annoy us on a daily basis, pedantry, abruptness, lack of feeling etc produce the very society that affords us lots of opportunity to enjoy Toytown life whilst having a sly snigger that they don't know that they have built a playground for the Anglo temperament to enjoy hugely
Just my two penneth anyway

Definetely prefer Germans, but being blonde and blue eyed is not enough. They still lack the sensuality and charm of south europeans.
english food is great though not the healthiest, German is great.what i hate is Italian Pasta,pizza, french frogs legs. I think latin food has a better reputation cause they are better at marketing their stuff than north europeans. Our Portuguese food is great and has similarities with German, especially in the north, but germans are better at making sausages, meats, beer.

Another comment I have often heard is 'why do you still drive on the left and what is the point of all those roundabouts'.
After years of mocking our roundabouts they are springing up all around here. Typically German: they have to devise their own set of rules for driving around roundabouts rather than looking to the country where we have yonks of experience...

Second that. I never found a "nice" girl in the UK (true - twas hard oop North).

True about the girls. But Italien girls are just SO LOUD.
There is plenty of good English food - trouble is you somethimes have to put effort into looking for it...
And there is plenty of good German food. There is some food the Germans eat that I wouldn't touch with a barge pole but that goes for some things in the UK as well...
