Have you ever eaten spotted dick?:eek:

no i don't even understand what type of food it is, are you american

No... Canadian actually, but I thought that was some sort of fancy english food.

*shrugs*

Stockport County is crap. Move to somewhere with a decent footy team.

You know it makes sense.

have you ever been to newcastle. I hear its the coolest city in england.

no its a pudding you can buy in foil wraped packages , its not fancy

have you ever been to newcastle. I hear its the coolest city in england. No but i've been to most places in the country, i happen to know they've redone the city centre , however i think manchester is better than london

Yay! I lived in manchester for a few years, and it is, by far, much cooler then london. Poxy southerners....

I live in dorset now like. surrounded by the buggers.

It's a well known fact that Forest are the greatest football team in the world. :)

Actually I'm a Yorkshireman, but I still support NFFC, as well as WRUFC.

Actually its now been renamed spotted richard at most major supermarkets as the name was considered offensive to some very sad people.

those sad sad people

Arr waat's rarng wuth us darsetshoire toipes?

(that's phonetic by the way. My spelling's not quite that bad)

What's wrong with Dorset? All that clean air making you choke?!? Granted it is closer to France which is never a good thing..

There's nothing wrong with the south!
Although I am half scottish so I can't really say anything against the north becuase in effect I would be insulting myself...

What are you... American?

We should export them

come ask some real american questions like ; does everyone drink tea, are you wearing a suit and bowler hat or conquering zulu's with queen vic

Poxy southerners....

I'm a southerner down by the south-east coast (in seaford). i know many more southerners, but i havnt ever had pox myself.... Just to make sure *puts anti-contamination suit on*

What are you... American?

Yeah, I'm from Nebraska. What do you think?!?

I resent that. If you can't talk with a decent Dorsetshire accent and feel proud of it then you... should... probably not own a big farm in Dorset. That's not a convincing argument admittedly.

Well, at least youd only be insulting half of yourself.

Yeah
and just to clear this with ye fellow Brits we:
a) do wear suits, bowler hats and carry umbrellas
b) have recently sent our army to conquer, er someone else (don't specify)
c) have very posh accents, drink tea etc etc

Why? Why do you think? They love that kind of stuff over the pond. If we can convince them, you never know, they might start having spring break over here!!

Reading is a tip-top city.

I live there now as I am there at University although originally I am from Banbury, North Oxfordshire.

Liverpool is a much better city than Manchester. And Manchester is a much better city than London.

Not entirely. It will do for my entertainment at the moment though.

Well, while we're waiting for the vicar to come round you can all have a cup of tea and a scone in advance. In the best china cups and silver spoons.

Then we can talk about the dire weather that we're having while Mary plays the piano in the corner.

Good point. I still feel bad for doing it though.
Wales is a different matter.

Huzzah!

Jolly hockey sticks!!

We should export them

Don't you mean extradite them?

Don't you mean extradite them?
Well, we may as well try and make a bit of money.

Liverpool is a much better city than Manchester. And Manchester is a much better city than London.
I split my time between both and have not really come to an decision (however even though Manchester is my home city I tend towards Liverpool). But I agree that they are better then London.

Have you ever eaten spotted dick?:eek:

Spotted dick is delicious. It's a suet pudding with raisins, best served with custard. He who has not tasted it has no right to call himself an Englishman.

indeed, spotted dick with custard rules!

Takes me back to the old school. Constant beatings, terrible food (spotted dick excepted), rugger training in the rain and sandwiches on the lawn.

nah, I disagree, London totally rules (apart from the underground)

I hate spotted dick

Come on now. More questions from you unlucky non-englanders...

did you watch the match?

It's a well known fact that Forest are the greatest football team in the world. :)

Actually I'm a Yorkshireman, but I still support NFFC, as well as WRUFC.

I live in York too. East Riding, actually.

Yeah I did watch the match =D

did you watch the match?

Not really the kind of question we were after but yes, and I predicted it would be 2-0 after a pretty boring match. Beckham's goal was top-draw though. But why did he then decide to wage one-man war on Ben Thatcher?

Yeah, Becks was excellent.

As for the yellow card incident, its better to miss the next match against Azerbaijhan (spelling?), than to keep playing through the qualifiers with a yellow card...i.e. have a clean sheet ready for a more important match.

Have you been to Sheffield lately? All the buildings are being replaced by scaffolding, and they're digging up roundabouts and replacing them with unoccupied bulldozers and fat hairy men drinking tea. The whole city's basically just a big construction site.

Also, there's this tower block being slowly dismantled by a giant claw. It looks like something out of Rampage. It looks like it should have a giant gorilla on it.

I see tower block. I see fat hairy men. There must be a solution here somewhere, even if it's only another Fathers 4 Justice thing. It probably wouldn't get into Pete Jackson's film

did you watch the match?

yeah. you see how close Rooney was.

If you wanted to talk about football and puddings

go to the footpud thread

Well... I would ask a question but everything I need to know i can ask my own capive Englishman... hee hee He is a Londoner, see nothing wrong with that, but then I am American.. :P

Dammit, urge to make jokes about captive Englishmen is too weak to overcome the bad taste barrier.

I can't believe there's no one who doesn't want to ask for a English take on current affairs. Shocking, although we'd probably blame Blair and Sven Goran-Eriksson for anything bad.
