Beatle so first it's our whimpy cars and now it's we're fat, is it? Well, excuse ME for taking advantage of a society where it's possible to buy a thousand calories for under a buck. Do you have Krispy Kreme? Of course not- the application of greasy sugar on a Brit's cavity ridden teeth would cause a 911 call. If you had good teeth and were able to consume a Big Mac you, too, would be fat. Mick Jagger looks like an anorexic monkey and the only reason Elton John is plump is because he takes his protein rectally. Lazs speaks the truth.

Hmmm.

I generally eat one meal a day.

Then again, I'm poor.

John Cleese left Britain because the weather sucks over here 90% of the year. I don't blame him.

Besides, he hasn't done anything funny for 30 years, since Fawlty Towers. A Fish Called Wanda, being an exception. In all the other films I've seen, he must have gone with the script for the money - because the films were chronically unfunny. 'Rat Race' being the last one.

Anyway, Yanks should do more excercise. I've heard that the Earth has now developed an eccentricity in its orbit due to the obesity that is rife in American society. The 'critical mass' of this effect will be reached in 2020, when Dunkin' Donuts' profit is set to overtake the combined GDP of Western Europe. At this point, the whole of the Eastern Sea Bord will be consuumed in a mile high tidle wave.

Yanks! You have been warned! Get orf yur arsssses and go for a jog!

BTW - a 90 minute game of football would kill most of you lardarses.

Hehe! The thing I like about writing threads like this one is the fireworks show. It is just like lighting a firework. The blue fuse burns and fizzles for some time and you wonder if you lit it properly (Pongo's post) and then the whole thing bursts into life!

Charon -

Their children can be every bit as annoying if poorly disciplined.

Too right.

I don't have any children myself, as they would be a hindrance when I want to visit various "pissant" countries.

Quote

They enjoy wuss sports (English football, or Soccer - Manchester United was on the tele)

Yeah, I used to support Man. Utd., but it was never the same when Eric Cantona left. Eric himself was a "pissant" - from France, which became a monarchy as Eric was "Le Roi" - King.

Quote

Fashion and style. The English seem to shop at some euro-hypermarket equivalent of Wal-Mart,

Could be Littlewoods, but I would not know about these things.

Many of the people that Charon saw were probably from Council Estates - the areas to which people were shipped when they were displaced from their condemned homes.

Hey Charon, whereabouts in Chicago are you? I used to go to Wrigley Field whenever I was there and the Cubs were in town. An excellent afternoon out with cold beer (Old Style) and a hot dog. As for American "Football", most of the 4 hours is stoppage time. Boring as hell. Still, I'd be able to compose some BBS posts, as I would be asleep after the first 10 minutes.

Back to baseball - anyone know what became of Daryl Strawberry? Was he Mets or Yankees? And Mo Vaughn of the Red Sox?

let me keep this simple and short so that beetle's ego will allow him to read the whole thing...

When it comes to england and things english.....If it was any good we would buy it and bring it over here.

The whole point of beetles rants is... "why do such cretins as the americans have everything and we have nothing?"

can't wait for his next wall-0-words on how what passes for socialism over there is so much better than what passes for capitalism here.

I used to live a bit North on the lake, at Foster and Sheridan where Lake Shore Drive ends. It was a quick hop on the Red Line to Wrigley. Since January, I live on the edge in the exciting suburb of Buffalo Grove. The Cubs are good for an afternoon of relaxing under the sun in pleasant setting, perhaps getting treated to the occasional Sammy So-So home run. You don't have to worry about too much excitement on the field to spoil the moment

The same holds true for the White Sox, except their Stadium - thunderdome 2 - lacks the ambiance while providing the excitement of potential crime. I was with some die-hard Sox fans on the trip who were non-stop bad mouthing Wrigley until I reminded them of the time they got their car broken into at glorious Comiskey 2. Frankly, I could care less either way

I would have to disagree with your assesment of American football, unless the team you support lacks a pass rush, has certain receivers that can only occasionally catch the balls bouncing off their hands, and has an offensive coordinator that works for the first half trying to establish the running game with backs who "run to the hole" regardless of how many defenders are plugging it at the time.

He was with the Yankees. When he was in baseball, he ended up in court. When he was in court, he was out of baseball. He was in and out of drug treatment facilities and minimum security prisons and played some AAA ball for the Tampa Yankees because he wasn't allowed to leave the state for MLB games. He finally got busted for some vague, undisclosed violation of a drug rehab facility rule and went back to prison. Now its a toss-up as to which will kill him first: his drug habit, himself, or cancer.

You already did - the old London Bridge, Lake Havasu City,AZ. Closer to where you live, do be sure to visit the Pelican Inn, Muir Beach, CA (Marin County). It's an English pub that was rebuilt there. Above the fireplace, there's a painting of some Spitfires (ix) returning from having defeated a bunch of FW190s.

Charon - Comiskey Park! I used to work for a firm in Cicero (33rd & Central), and we were just a few minutes drive from the OLD Comiskey Pk. We would go for pizza at a place called the Home Run Inn. Happy days.

I remember Steve Dahl of WLUP burning up a whole load of disco records at Comiskey Pk. I think he was fired, and their ratings plummeted.
