Is there anything in england that is better than in the states?

Pomposity?  

Chocolate bars.

1) Culture.

Yes, I love the way the British refuse to use the metric system or decimalize their money or adapt the Euro.

Oh, wait...

2)  Cool accents.
3)  History.
4)  more culture.
5)  Kings n stuff.
6)  Fish n chips (that crap thats passed off in malls in the US simply aint right)
7)  Decent non waxy chocolate.
8)  Yet more culture (with some history thrown in)
9)  Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Bottom....
10)  Rain (British rain has been around so long it's got a personality)
11)  Cricket.
12)  Giant Haystacks (he could kick The Rock's arse)
13)  Jenga.
14)  The Vincent Black Shadow (pah, Harley my arse)
15)  Underground power/phone lines (all dem wires all over Texas spoils it)
16)  Even more culture.
17)  Intelligent people (I've seen US Weakest Link.....you guys is REALLY stoopid).
18)  AND.....we DONT have Dan Quayle
19)  Or Ricki Lake......or Jerry Springer.
20)  And we've got France 26 miles away which means we can buy bottles of wine for 25p each....would you like to take France?  Go on...please?

 You left off leaving.  Leaving England is defenately better than leaving the USA

Do a google image search on "Kelly Brook".  English squadie pointed her out to me.  

[GtoRA2]

She looks good here.




But here?


Still ok, but not that great?


I hope this isn't going to get me banned?

Understand, I am not ragging on the British; I don't presume to know enough about them to tell them how to run their country. It doesn't work both ways though, it seems. I'm sure there is much about the culture and country I don't know.

A word, or two, on the language.

  I rented Sexy Beast yesterday.  I could not make out a word they where saying.  It needed subtitles.  Now before they say its OUR language.  Let me point out that I have heard the Queen speak.  I understood every word she spoke.  And its the Queens english.

LOL I forgot all about Giant Haystacks!

England... I love the countryside, the vast history and culture, it's many inventions and eccentricism... blah, blah, and not forgetting comedy, something that the US seriously lack .... and this is coming from a half-English person!

BTW, what's this about crap English food?  English food might not be brilliant but what does the US have to offer????  Burger?  Hot-Dogs?

BTW

"(I've seen US Weakest Link.....you guys is REALLY stoopid). "

  Its spelled stupid .

She perked them up to get a discount on the labor charges, but didn't want to go to the trouble to do her makeup (hence the big glasses).  The shirt obviously was something an elementary school child left in her front yard the day before her tire went flat.

I refuse.

culture and history?  kinda intangible.   knights and all? we can buy that stuff..  

so far... all I see that is of any interest is old buildings and if we want em we will just buy em.   In england they just get in the way of making the roads useful.

Special forces?  probly not a nickles worth of difference these days between all the major ones..  dont see the sas helping the irish situation much.

there is a point tho about riki lake and all ... they do have a LACK of variety that can be a good thing... no... take it back.. it's never a good thing.   I will just have to suffer with rikki.   Nope... not having something is not what I was looking for.
