Who are "them"?
kovan? Now there's someone I haven't met before.
Nice to meet you kovan, how are you?
Light bar? I think you mean strip light.Quote:

Those yanks again!! ;) :D
The General ordered the facilities maintenance personnel to remove the light bars....that's the "they" I was referring to.
Is that a strip that contains half the calories of a regular strip?Quote:

No but we did get alot of milage out of pointing out that America tried to invade Canada a good few years ago (1812 I think) and Canada beat them. He was most upset when he found out that we weren't lying (this time). Of course he did have a fair point that I wouldn't put much stock on a re-match, but it stopped him from harping on about the war of Independence and how they beat Britain.:)Quote:

Close, but no cigar. It's a light bar to you, except to me it's a strip light.Quote:

Really?? Blimey. What's this, Americans with aspirations to be Nazi-like??Quote:

Did you catch the date, Chris.....in 1812.:rolleyes:
well okay, so it was a while ago!!!
It was a long time ago, the world political scene was (to put it mildly) volitile. I think they were probably trying to bring Canada into part of the fledgling states, but Canada wanted to remain part of the commonwealth. Neither country had much of a populaton so I don't think it was much of a fight. You can't really invade the second largest country in the world with less than a good few hundred thousand troops. This didn't seem to occur to the generals at the time :)Quote:

But could Hollywood make a worth-while film out of it?Quote:

Oh god no! Imagine telling the Americans they lost a war to Canada. They're economy would collapse, there would be chaos in the streets.Quote:

Of course, they could just make the film up and have America win (U-571 anyone?) :)
Anyway, I feel bad, because we're slagging America off, and it isn't really such a bad place. In fact, it has some very nice people (Katie) and isn't quite as phsycotic as the news makes it appear.

esp. this Pearl Harbour balls (premieres here tonight). £100 Million squid and it's meant to be pants. I mean, you could build at least 1 hospital with that or something!!
Hmmmm... Hollywood.... worthwhile movie.... erm. no.
:D
Yeah, but I think it'll still make money. It's been hyped so much over here that everyone went to see it before they heard how bad it really was. Shame really, because it would have the potential for a really good story and they make it into a romance. ***.Quote:

We are naughty...2 (possibly 3) britons (and possibly 1 canadian) having a pop at 1 american.
I hope you don't take us too seriously Katie ;)
Any movie they make helps our economy...the higher the cost the better. The set builders, designers, crew, cast, insurance, film editors, camera equipment, cooks, etc. are all purchased here in my great state and the tax revenue only helps us. It doesn't matter whether it's crap or not...California makes bucks off of it. We Californians) do more to stimulate the economy of the US than any other state....and we do it without raping our environment for the most part...yet we get the most crap for being "left-over hippies" or tree huggers too. Ungrateful, rat bastards all of you!
Yeah, pick on Canada for a change. I'll even join in.
Bunch of limp wristed tree-hugging hippy liberals.:)

I know, always making it into a friggin romance. Just like Titanic. Write a love story, then bolt on a convienient moment of history to make it look better, that's how it works I reckon.Quote:
