An effortless joke... [modified]

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

He does not claim to be English, it just says his location is United Kingdom. I'm sure there are plenty of people here with locations that do not match their nationality.

I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

Indeed - but he DID know what a spotted dick was, so he MUST be English... :laugh:

Better be careful. In my family it has become a tradition to go to Texas when we want to shoot something. The last thing my father shot flew all the way up north over Canada and landed in Alaska. And later I went there as well and shot with some things that went straight up into the stratosphere and pounced upon some unlucky target drone. You never know when you are out of range.

3. My location says "England"

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

True, but I'd rather stay out of that discussion - If we get into it, then at least I need to bring my lunch... :)

I stand corrected! And the Pitcher at a cricket match is indeed a pint, though we do fill them from a pitcher. :confused: :laugh:

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:

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

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)

The model is only the prototype.
