They all look 20 pounds overweight from these pictures. As an athletic shaped male, maybe Id have crazy luck with british chicks if all their models of men are heavy out of shape - might even make the $/E conversion worth it.

You might have to compete with the likes of these

Rugby men are not athletic, the sport just requires tfoaugth. Your job is to repeatedly run into, get squashed by and get ran into by extremely heavy men. Non-stop (barring half time) for 80 minutes.

It is no sport for the good looking among us, not that I'm insulting the two handsome blokes above this post.

Also, inev, British women. Considering that other than my girlfriend there are no good looking British women (ahem), you will unfortunately get the vast mixed bag every country throws up, except in this case 'throws up' is infinitely more appropriate when describing them.

Judy, all bogarting the hot British woman.  Have you no compassion for your fellows?

There was a hot chick on Coupling once.  Guest star, season 2 I think.

The American President has a 19% approval rate. The economy is pretty bad (as far as I understand it). Most of the world sees it is a cause/scapegoat for a lot of problems. Despite this and myriad other negatives (though with lots of great stuff too), I don't think it is unfair to say most Americans wouldn't hesitate in proclaiming America the greatest country on Earth.

And it is the same for many countries.

But.

If Britain's streets were made of chocolate, people would complain about the flavour. If it was permanently glorious weather, people would complain about having to buy sunglasses. If we had a free, universal health care system and a series of safety nets for the poverty stricken, people would complain about.. oh, wait we do! Great! But PEOPLE STILL fuck*ng COMPLAIN.

Er, in short, despite our efforts to the contrary we are very negative and are always in possession of a self-deprecating, pessimistic mood regarding our own country. But you already knew that.

For every elegant English Rose there is a chain-smoking binge-drinking slag. Mostly within the same person.

Don't you ever change, Judy. Don't you ever become a permanent rose.

[wombat]

Judy, you need to come around more often.

Bill Bailey did a good bit on this concept once.

As for myself my country rocks and the only people who hate us are Indonesia and they won't start shit because they need us to train their fighter pilots. Not sure what happens once we're done training them, but I'm sure it'll all work out for the best.

i thought harry saxon was pm

[smick]

Executioneer - Please see the Wikihistory thread.   Prime Minister Saxon has since been retconned.

[littlefallsmets]

What was the fashion of retcon?

Did Superboy punch a cosmic whatsits? Did Spider-Man sell his soul to the devil?

Did everyone turn out to be Skrulls? Other than Maggie Thatcher, of course, where it is obvious.

Skrulls... As an Avengers reader, the mere mention of Skrulls makes me very sad.

They come from planet MacGuffin.

Hey Doc,

I heard a lovely little rumor about New Zealand that I'm scared to actually get confirmed or denied, but: is it true that sign advertising is required by law to be hand-painted?  Because if so, that's the best darn law this anarchist has ever heard of.

To be honest I'm not sure. The couple of times I've been over there and their highways signs look pretty much like the ones we have over here. I guess it would depend on what you mean by hand painted, would a stencil count?
Basically I doubt it but it sounds so good I want it to be true.
