Got any American made O-rings or heat tiles on you?

No. They were sold to Britain to build this:

And you lot were ****ing dumb enough to buy it off us. LMAO

Exerpt from

http://www.guardian.co.uk/britain/ar...13870,00.html:

With the failure of the Beagle 2, one might argue, normal service has
been resumed. Britain is back where it likes to be, failing and
meticulously analysing that failure. Whole British industries are
devoted to this analysis. One of the great postwar British industries
is the sitcom, and that industry's greatest products are failures.
Basil Fawlty, Del Boy Trotter, Harold (and possibly Albert) Steptoe,
Rab C Nesbitt, Frank Spencer, the characters of Dad's Army and Are You
Being Served, David Brent and Alan Partridge are all ground-down
anti-heroes whose role is to remind the British, reassuringly, of
themselves, to confirm what we all know - that we suffer from a
British Leyland of the soul.

"A British Leyland of the soul". Priceless.

;-))

As opposed to the US car industry eh? Now there's a growth industry if
I
ever heard of one...

Then there's the tobacco companies...

The UK has always been known for it's originality and ideas. It's
never
been best known as a manufacturer.

Now Fortress America tends to buy in its talent and/or steal it. It
always has done.

The US has to be good as something but I'm ****ed if I can think what
it
is. Errrmmmm, still thinking, ahhh Blues music, but beyond that, nope
can't think of much we have to be grateful to them for.

Seinfeld.
Sienfeld is ****.
