The missionary, always in the bedroom (the picture on the wall of the queen turned around so as not to offend her royalness) with the gentleman wearing bowler hat, long socks & Y-fronts. The Wife remains motionless (covered by a sheet with a hole cut in the relevant area) & thinks of england until her husband cums (pre-empted with the cry of "I'm arriving!" & him humming Land of Hope & Glory) after which they both stand salute each other & he returns to reading the financial times while The Wife prepares a restorative cup of tea. They never discuss what has just occurred.

Oi!! How dare you install camera's in my townhouse :mad: I challenge you to pistols at dawn.
 
If Britain basically started what is today known as "The America's Cup" why haven't the English ever won it? Isn't yachting a popular activity for (wealthy) Englishmen?
 
In fact we're excellent at sports you can do sitting down (rowing, cycling) or in a pub (darts, snooker)

I don't think they have been dominate in sailing since the 18th century. What's also ironic is that they invented soccer, the biggest sport in the world, and with the exception of one (some would say controversial) win they haven't real won that either.

Which I guess kind of leads to a question.

Why isn't the UK good at any of the sports it has invented?

Because we lack English players. Soccer isn't English anymore, you can't watch a match without the majority of players being from foreign countries.

Out of sheer politeness to the rest of the world.Maybe next season we should rename the premier league the world league and call the winner World Champions like in American sports.

why do brits drive on the wrong side of the road?

Because we never changed. It's significantly safer for physiological reasons.
There are very many other countries in which driving is on the left;
Some Commonwealth countries and other former British colonies, such as Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Malaysia and South Africa drive on the left, but others such as Canada, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and the United States drive on the right. Other countries and territories which drive on the left are Thailand, Indonesia and East Timor in Southeast Asia, Suriname, Japan, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Macau. Most Pacific countries drive on the left, and South Asian countries, which constitute most of the Indian subcontinent, like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan have left-hand traffic
 
I was reading a Playboy interview with Hugh Laurie, and he says something about the word 'quite' meaning opposite things in the US and the UK. In the US 'quite' is similar to 'very'. How about in the UK?
