[QUOTE=Superpeer]What about congrats/... kisses?

We give three.

Like: Congrats! or a formal greeting for someone you haven't seen in ages:

mwah, mwah, mwah, while switching cheeks.[/QUOTE]
That's how I greet my gandma, who lives in Antwerp, which makes sense because when I see her it's usually been months since my last visit to her.

You should've hit him first. That would've made him afraid of you.

Even if it didn't, at least he's unconscious from the blow to the head you gave him.

Vital Remains deserves a definite \m/

To be honest... I would have stoved his head in.

I'm going back now anyway, with a bottle of whisky and a bottle of wine.

I'm gonna kick his head in.

I'll report back in around 5/6 hours.

It takes you 5/6 hours to kick a guy's a[SIZE="2"]s[/SIZE]s? Sounds like you need to lay off the alcohol and start working out.

So, we have a British exchange student at our school. She's cute, she has an impenetrable accent and she likes to make fun of American culture.

Of course, that was all old hat for me, especially when she dissed London and Wales (being on here has helped me to know better). She seemed a little snobbish though. I was joking that whenever she spoke I felt unusually patriotic.

She was a rather accurate impression of the British person who "rather likes America" but enjoys making fun of the government (which I have no problem with) and the American cultural eccentricities (such as our spelling of "color," and our general lack of extra-American knowledge, which I find ok but mildly annoying when it goes to a literal "I'm better than you" point).

Like, is it really so bad that a few of us have only traveled to England and hit the major landmarks like London, and we don't know anything about Bristol or Manchester? Vacations to Europe are considerably more expensive and less easy for us, and so if we spend the money to go we're probably not going to spend a whole lot of time getting a "true sense" of the place. A lot of people couldn't afford to do that, and yet it seems like it's an American's most-reviled characteristic. The lack of effort spent to learn languages I can understand, but should they be crapping on us for not visiting a country long enough to learn where the actual cool spots are? I don't know. It's easier for Europeans to visit other European countries than it is for Americans, seeing as we usually have limited time, limited funds, and limited experience (not to mention the Atlantic Ocean between us rather than the English Channel).

It was also irritating when she felt like she had to explain to us that Northern Ireland was still British territory, and Ireland wasn't. Meh. But I guess when Bush is the president, you don't give American intelligence the benefit of the doubt? Oh well.

/sounds like a "speak English or nothing at all" Republican. :p Sorry. Just an impression and a thought.

EDIT: It's so strange. Me and my typically liberal friends are constantly talking about how American culture blows and how the president sucks, but there's something about physically speaking about these same issues with a European (like a British person) that makes me feel the need to defend America and Americans, even though were she an American liberal I'd join right in. It makes me feel weird, like genuinely unpatriotic or traitorous even. Anybody else had this experience?

Well, that's only sensible.
Most English people go to the major American states and cities, not for example, some pissy little town in Iowa...
So why should Americans be any different coming here?

I wouldn't worry about that. I live in England and I've never been to either Bristol or Manchester.

He did say he was taking two full bottles of booze. Those can make effective weapons. But knowing Joe, he's palnning on drinking the alcohol and then killing him with his bair hands, which would indeed take quite a while.

My computer died at home, right now I'm on the school's computer and it'll be a while till my post rate returns to normal.... sucks.

BTW, who else hates the way the page fwd/bkwd system is set up, especially on the thread pages? Wouldn't linking to high page numbers just encourage the bumping of old threads by hapless n00bs? And likewise, the quoting of old posts in long threads?

Plus it's super annoying that I click on something, thinking I'm going back five pages under the old system, but instead I'm going back like five-hundred. It's really dumb.

The only thing I don't like is how quoting doesn't go to a new page. When I try and edit a quote into my post I always accidentally go back to a different page. It's frustrating, but I'll get used to it.

You're not missing anything be not going to Manchester. Never been to Brighton myself though. Personally I'd rather check out the capitals of all the countries within UK rather than bothering with places like Manchester. I guess English people are always going to recommend you stay there and Scottish people will recommend you come up here though.

The British middle-class are the worst though, I can sympathize with you there.

Where's she from?


On going down to the corner shop thing to get myself a sandwich, it became apparent that the sewers had overflowed, or something. The water seemed to have been determined to pave the way to the shop :-/

Also, the guy in front of me looked very much like he was stoned. It must have been more obvious even than I thought, because the shopkeeper felt the need to make sure he knew what he was buying. Which was amusing.

Girls kiss girls on the cheek for greetz
Boys kiss girls on the cheek for greetz
Boys shake hands, sometimes also kiss on the cheek, but shaking hands is more common.

I hate to be an arse, but she has a point. Just quickly, without searching google (I'm doing the honour system, boys), can any Americans tell me:

Who fought in the Battle Of Hastings?
Where is Waterloo?
Where did Cortez land in South America?
Who was the first Prime Minister of Australia?
Which civil war caused the nation of Australia to be federated?
Name 1 significant person from the Crimean war?

I know all these answers, however, I also know a lot about US history that we are taught in schools here in Aus.

AN AMERICAN ANSWER:

Who fought in the Battle Of Hastings? Two opposing sides
Where is Waterloo? Somewhere near France, biatch
Where did Cortez land in South America? In the hot part
Who was the first Prime Minister of Australia? That one mate
Which civil war caused the nation of Australia to be federated? Who cares about Australia?
Name 1 significant person from the Crimean war? Jesus
