It is I, sir, who is laughing. If you only knew the technology that

Would I really?

So what wonderful technological advances are available in the US that
aren't available over here in little old England?



Never having lost a war to France. Not a technology but always worth a
mention in these matters.


Rendered moot as they saved our bacon in The Revolution.

to say...

That's a total of 31,391,758 Americans claiming decent from that little
European island.


So IOW there's no such thing as an American claim to fame.

So when are you thieving *******s gonna give the land back to the Native
Americans then?



I wouldn't be so quick to judge. You Brits had your collective asses
kicked off a continent by a little brown guy dressed in a diaper. His
name was Gandi.

Wait! Don't run, did you escape to the US for dental care?


At least in the UK I get medical care for FREE...


Of course, much as in dentistry, the British health care system is
*renown* as the standard for health care.

Just as Brits are *known* for their good teeth, so are they *known* for
their great medical system. Just as Brits are *known* the world over for
dental hygiene, so are they *known* for their health care. Certainly,
British dentistry and medicine go hand in hand.

I will go further Ian. I will state here now and for posterity that
British Martian Lander Technology is held in as much esteem as Brit
advances in dentistry and health care!

Yes, there you have it- an admission: Brits are far, far, advanced in
dentistry, health care and Martian Lander technology.


Much as I dislike responding to a Troll (Wingardium Leviosa is possibly
the right thing to say!), but I suggest the our Peter Spammon looks at
the proportion of the US population that still have there own teeth at
the age of 60, (not synthetic implants!), and compare that with the UK.

You might then want to stop drinking so much Coca-Cola over in 'Murrican
land when you see the discrepancy.

I don't mind my crooked, but healthy teeth, even if I do go for a dental
check-up only every 6 months.

I guess Bose is the same really. Bright and shining on the outside, but
rotten at the core.

Now we've got 22,721,252 drunken' Irish who all hate the Brits.


Good God, there's only four and a half million of them in the whole of
Ireland.

Given that the peak of imigration into the US was only about 140 years
ago, what have they been doing to get to 22 Million)

Can any group of people breed that fast, or are perhaps some of the US
'Irish' only Irish in their own fantasies?

Now tell us why the U.K. didn't just bomb the hell out of Argentina
in 1982.


There wasn't any need to bomb the hell out of Argentina when we could just
go down to the Falklands and tell the Argentinians to bugger off.

That was my point. Good show.

Of course, "we" means "The USA and the Brits right behind us".

You sound like Dogbert. I hope you got a legitimate license for that
kind of stuff.
