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

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

          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.

            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.

            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:

                    ...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:

                      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

                                    Sadly true.

                                    I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

                                      Well I can live with that, as long as you believe it for the remainder of your minutes

                                        I can't possibly lower myself to such behavior since this wasn't funny at all.

                                          I've only been 1 voting you when I read you signature. You seem to be posting quite a lot today.
