Well after watching an interesting documentary on TV last night, I think I'll take a trip to England for awhile. This guy Monty Python was showing all the interesting things in England. Really loved alot of stuff. Besides, any country that spends a few hundred million pounds a year on a Ministry of Silly Walks, has my vote for best country.
:D

hehe...nice try.
Documentary indeed.
Logically if you weigh the same as duck...you are made of wood. And therefore.....you're a witch!
Burn the witch!

Well there is a test you have to pass before we let you in - please explain in not more than 30 words the meaning of irony.
I do have to warn you we're all socialists and will force you to accept free healthcare on arrival.
Plse stay away from the breakfasts as these have been known to kill people.
If anyone offers you black pudding or haggis, decline their kind offer - I'll explain why in a private email when the children are not around.

Beware, for in England, no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition! And remember, in Wales, the men are Men, and the sheep are afraid. :D

That's if you survive the long lines at Heathrow :)

Hey we're 10th on the list of targets terrorists most want to do nasty things to...we have to be vigilant!!
Also it's good practice for foreigners to become used to the English method of queuing.
btw Black pudding - for the unenlightened is made out of pig fat and pigs blood, with a onion for flavour, made into sausage and then fried.

I rented the video Monty Python's Parrot Sketch not included, I must say it had some of the better sketches. I'm unfortunantly too young to have seen the show when it was on air, but thanks to the internet, and fond memories from my parent's and grandparent's I have seen almost all of the sketches.
This video has of course the Spanish Inquisition, Ministry of Silly Walks, Spam cafe, and my personal favorite, the arguement sketch. "This is not an arguement" "Yes it is" "No it's not"

London Homesick Blues - Gary P. Nunn
From the album, "Viva Terlingua", by Jerry Jeff Walker, 1973
1st verse
[G] Well, when you're down on your luck,
and you ain't got a buck,
in [D] London you're a goner.
Even London Bridge has fallen down,
and [G] moved to Arizona,
now I know [C] why.
And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
is [G] drier than than the Texas sand.
You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots
that I'm [D] leavin' just as fast as I can.
Chorus
[G] I wanna go [C] home with the [G] arma [Am] dillo
Good country [C] music from Ama [D] rillo and Abi [G] lene
The friendliest [C] people and the prettiest [D] women you've ever [G] seen.
2nd Verse
[G] Well, it's cold over here, and I swear
I [D] wish they'd turn the heat on.
And where in the world is that English girl
I [G] promised I would meet on the third [C] floor.
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I've got
is a [G] smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'
to be [D] home in a Texas bar.
Chorus
3rd Verse
[G] Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
and [D] go down to Marble Art Station.
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.
[G] Chances will be taken, that's for [C] sure.
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
that some [G] people call manly footwear.
And they said you're from down South,
and when you open your mouth,
you [D] always seem to put your foot there.
Chorus

Did it have the Philospher's drinking Song on it?
Allow me:
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy begger
Who could think you under the table,
David Hume could out-consume
Shoppenhaur and Hegel
and Witichstien was a beery swine,
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates himself was permanently pissed....
John Stuart Mill of his own free will
On 'alf a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say could stick it away
'alf a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
I drink therefore I am
Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed

Unfortunantly no.. it did have Greeks v German football match though. As well as the french explaining how to make a sheep fly.
