1. I've liked every Brit I've ever met
Even though I didn't have sexy time with any of them

3. Apparently We're all Pooftahs!
Well 85% of us any are anyway or so was I was informed by one tattooed gentleman at my work some years ago. As one of his illustrations was a teutonic "April 19th" image along with some guys with pointy hoods with peep-holes i agreed with him.

2. I like most Brits
Edited on Wed Nov-18-09 02:52 PM by liberaltrucker
I say "most" because Thatcher comes to mind.

:puke:

Y'all do talk funny, though.

:P

4. Most fun I ever had clubbing* was with...
my Brit friends. Any group that will spontaneously break out singing loudly at
a Denny's at 2 a.m. works for me.

*clubbing:
It means to go to many clubs.

8. I have only met a few Brits - they have uniformly been good people
with a strange sense of humor. I kind of liked the working class Brits I met the best, though.

9. Brits tend to have a complex about American life
whilst trying to emulate it themselves. You're almost as fat as us and watch shit reality shows. Second place ain't bad huh?

10. Love the Britsh (in general)
Edited on Wed Nov-18-09 06:53 PM by Arugula Latte
Love the sense of humor, the understated way of saying things, the reserve that masks a great nuttiness.

Plus, you tend to get better edukashuns than us Murikins, and I like that there fancy book lernin.

11. Little mouths. Teeny weeny little mouths. You can barely get an intelligible syllable out with
those pie-ette-holes. That's why your food is so bad. It doesn't matter that it tastes awful, because you can't spit it out anyway. Not out of those tiny mouths.

(I'm a Craig Ferguson fan...)
