I figured everybody would be american so I kept writing "y'all" in my posts.
Now I realize everyone is British so I guess I should write "what ho what ho what ho!"
Hey I'm a British citizen due to my father being born there. I got duel citizenship to double my chances of being drafted.
So technically I'm making a British album. Or at least half British.
Will this thing cut me off or can I just keep on typ
I write the most affected english here so don't try to win this race ;)
Do you mean affected as in...
assumed artificially; unnatural; feigned: affected sophistication; an affected British accent.
or, rather...
influenced in a harmful way; impaired, harmed, or attacked, as by climate or disease.

And Argentina is great. I was thinking of moving to Uruguay. Good idea? Bad idea?
Jajajajajaja!!!!!! ;D
Unnatural is the word, we have to start a new spanish version MBR forum just for me, all of you have to learn it for this weekend. ;D ;D ;D
st george's day bump rotfl
Esta Bien!
I'm from Chicago suburbs......

I'm far from England, in California, but don't hold that against me ;D Are there a lot of British folk here? I hadn't noticed but no matter.....music is music.

St Georges day seems to be a real letdown. On Australia Day we get drunk. On StPatricks Day I got drunk on Guinness but on St Georges day I didn't even see a drop of Pimms spilt in anger.
oh and I am in Australia
From the northern part of the British Isles that is called Scotland, happy St Georges Day to our English friends!
Wow, I was pretty ignorant back then.
I guess I've come a long way.
Cheerio maties!
I had a nice cup of tea to celebrate...
Now, what I want to know, yep we've got St George's day pretty low-key, seems only right, the proper English way... but what's all this will&kate stuff?
The media seems to be flogging it as hard as it can. But, I have not met a single human being, English or otherwise, who cares about it at all. Now, I suspect I might watch the ceremony if I'm not doing anything else. I also suspect that many others claiming indifference will do the same. But every single person I've spoken to has no intention of doing anything other than treating it as a welcome extra bank holiday.
Is any one on here celebrating or acknowledging this event in any way?
Are you buying a mug or tea towel?
Are you getting the Charles and Di tea-set out in honour of the occasion?
Are you organising a street party?
Are you going to a street party?
Do you even know where there might be one of these mythical street parties happening?
And which prince is it that's getting married anyway? Is it the tall one that looks like a softer, cuddly, Charles, or is it the gormless looking one who looks like someone else? And why would Katy Perry want to marry either one of them? The record for actually surviving a marriage to English royalty is not a particularly good one if you're a girlie... (And isn't she married already?)
Anyway, good luck to them both, I do wish them well :) ... I just wish all the people who claim to know something about it/them would get off my bluddy television!!!! :D
i'm celebrating the royal wedding by ignoring it completely as i am sure all sensible people who are not invited will.
I wish I was marrying Kate.
I always wanted to marry royalty.

You old romantic, you :D
I certainly wouldn't rule out watching the ceremony and the walking out of the church, etc, etc... (but having sat through the Charles/Di fairy-tale, and then discovering years later it wasn't quite the love story we were told it was... and having been through a divorce myself, I am somewhat sceptical about how romantic this tale might be!)

Same here, Princess Anne was the one I wanted... but she went off and deserted me for that Mark Phillips bloke when I was only 7 years old or so... broke my poor young heart...

Blimey, that's a pretty scary fantasy, even for a 7 year old.........

Don't get me wrong, she's a good-looking woman, but my interest is primarily to advance my career as a monarch.
princess anne does it for me too, she is not very photogenic but by chance i saw her in glasgow as me and my good lady came out of a tapas bar bellies filled and she was getting out a big bentley and my god she was drop dead gorgeous. photographs don't do the woman justice she is a seriously sexy looking woman.
Turns out I was 10 when she became Mrs Phillips.
But yeah, she's gorgeous, and she was stunningly so when she got married. I can see the "horsey" side that puts others off, but she's my fave princess :)
There's also the fact that she's a princess in her own right - the others are only princesses because they married princes - that makes her special.
I have to say though, if I had a time-machine, and could have my pick of any of them, I'd have gone for her mum - I know Margaret was meant to be the stunner, but Elizabeth was the one for me, almost as good as Audrey in Roman Holiday :D
Then, of course, there is Sweden's Princess Victoria... my submission to the royal beauty pagent.

My favourite princess. She's got integrity; smart, attractive, brave, loyal and not hung up on traditional good looks.

I like the idea of Duel nationality,

That is too good T... damn I thought ORH was gonna be the entertainment for the event!!!
I have to admit, we watched the whole thing on BBC. From 6am!
We even had smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and champagne to celebrate at 10:45am.
Fab stuff, the whole thing, really enjoyed it.
She scrubbed up well. Wills looks better in civvies, or at least anything that's not scarlet... and Harry's got to learn to stand up straight. I felt quite sorry for the Queen having a grand-daughter with a "lion king" sculpture nailed to her head sat right behind her... And I wonder if Becks has started to regret that neck tattoo yet?
I think two awards need to be awarded. First award must go to Pippa. How hot did she look.

Second award goes to the new Duchess of Cambridge who did the right thing on the balcony.

The problem, here in Italy, is seriously complicated by the local meaning of the word...ehm...PIPPA... :D

i read your link alfredo, and noted the greek meaning. i am sure i told this story here before, but many years ago in corfu when my 15 year old was a baby. and i was learning greek. i asked a waiter how to ask for baby milk in the main store in the next village. guess what i asked the blushing sales assistant for? when she didnt understand me i stuck my thumb in my mouth miming a baby sucking a bottle. you guessed i was asking for a bj.
Quote from: oldrottenhead on May 02, 2011, 01:21:52 PM...you guessed i was asking for a bj.
And how did that work out for you?
the manager came out and asked me 2 questions, please tell me in english what you want and who sent you.
when i told him who sent me he laughed knowing the waiter,
the following year went back to same place and got cases in apartment wee one in pram and went to same taverna waiter worked at. it was early in the evening but we where starved so taverna was quite.
waiter had back to us and was having a laugh with the only couple in the place. they where scottish like myself. the male customer told the waiter that there where customers. me my wife and wee one. the waiter turned and saw us. he immediately turned back to the couple and exclaimed loudly, "that's the guy i was just telling you about, the guy i sent for the blowjob".
14 years later, last year in fact, we went back on holiday to the same resort and he was still there telling the same story, when he saw us turn up on our first night, he pointed to me and made that famous gesture you do with your tongue bulging your cheek out and your hand in a fist.
we had a great night and he insisted in going round every table to tell his story and point me out to everyone regaled by his tale.
i should really write a book about the faux pas that have happened to me on holiday over the years in my feeble attempt to learn the local lingoes
