    Total fail; your location says United Kingdom, so you obviously cannot be here if you think it is the same as England.

      ...for the "too busy to think" people. Knock knock Who’s there? Olivia. Olivia who? Olivia, so get out my house! ...this joke is meant to be funny because "Olivia" sounds like "I live here" as in "I live here, so get out my house!" now you may laugh :laugh:

      If you have to explain a joke it's a failure.

        I thing I'm fairly safe: it would be a declaration of war to shoot me from Texas! And we may have lost the first round, but we would win the rematch! :tongue in cheek smiley:

        Ok Wales is out of range. For now. But the guy who may try to shoot you might take that submarine for a spin :) Edit: That would make a great novel: The Hunt for (enter name of submarine)

              Curiously, a lot of teh mistakes he makes in English are those of a Middle-Eastern Person, say from Lebanon for example.

                Actually I didn't even check my profile. I just went on what the post I was replying to said. And if Stephen Fry has a say on it, you will be surprised how many of the countries of the UK he claims to actually be part of England

                                  Trying to read a book with little success in concentration, my signature is not meant to be taken seriously (well not the second part anyway) - but I think I may need a change so I shall have a think

                                      Perhaps not. If someone from Saxony, former East Germany, would say 'Olivia' in their local dialect, then it would be indistinguishable from 'I live here'.
