We generally call them whatever their name is. :1orglaugh However, "puff" is a popular term, or maybe "fudgepacker", if you want to be offensive. There's probably a few others as well. :dunno: :wave2:

this has probably been posted somewhere already but why the hell do the brits drive on the wrong side of the road??

This stems from medieval times.A Knight would always lead with his sword arm(his right)leaving his left hand free.

That was the norm at one time.There are in fact a great many countries where people drive on the left.Basically because most people are right handed.
There is strong evidence that it's safer for physiological reasons.The dominant eye is the right and in cars with manual gears the weaker arm comes off the wheel , also the case when using other controls.More than anything though is a human tendency to swerve to the left when in a panic.Whatever, in comparable countries the accident rate is well down in right hand drive countries compared to their friends who drive on the right.British road fatalities per 100 000 people are the lowest in the EU despite the traffic density.
Fron the statistics office ;
The United Kingdom has a relatively good record for road safety compared with most other EU countries. In 2000, it had the lowest road death rate in the EU, at 6.0 deaths per 100,000 population. This was also substantially lower than the rates in other G8 countries such as Japan (8.2 per 100,000 population), Australia (9.5), Canada (9.7), and the USA (15.2)
Fatalities in the UK have fallen since 2000.

They aint the only ones.
My question is why do you eat eel pies? Is it really eels? :throwup:
Women's hockey is a fantastic sport!
As a young pervert in my early teens (not much has changed since then, I guess), I used to *love* watching the girls play. Fit, athletic women who aren't muscular, wearing short skirts and are permanently bent over? Doesn't get much better than that.
Poof, poofter, bent, queer. Fag or faggot works too, but it depends on the context. Obviously, all of these are offensive.
Since the new liscensing pubs are open til whatever time they agree!
The usual for a town centre pub is about 1am round here - yates, chicago rock and my faves are open til 230 i think. Then there are some clubs open round here til 4am.
Go to some proper "clubs" and they dont open til about 11 and shut at 6 or 7am.
Town centres are busy at the weekend - most 20 somethings would go "around town" before probably ending up wherever is open latest. ;-)
Oddly enough this Scottish guy has just started work at our place and he insists on being called Jock..
I asked him what his real name was and he said "Just call me Jock"... so OK we have to... none of us know his real name. Even his clock card says "Jock"... but you're right it would be very inadvisable to call anyone north of the border Jock.
fag or faggot wouldn't work at all really...
as fag=cigarette
and faggot=meatball type thing
But I guess if you called someone a fag.... hmmm dunno I'll have to try it. :eek:
Hell yeah, every country should have one! :thumbsup:
Most of us aren't metric, but we usually know both anyway and don't need to convert. Like knowing the difference between a baskeball court and a gridiron, you don't have to work out how many of one fits in the other, you just automatically know the size. :hatsoff: :wave2:

If I had to list the sports in America(based on popularity) it would go something like this:
1. FOOTBALL (NFL)
2. NASCAR
3. BASEBALL
4. BASKETBALL
5. HOCKEY
6. MMA
7. GOLF
8. BOXING
9. TENNIS
10. then maybe SOCCER?
What makes football(soccer) so exciting? I dont know one American that likes the sport. I love to play soccer, but its just a pain to watch. It like a religion everywhere else.
Please explain?

hmmmm.... Makes ya wonder why parents freaked out about Teletubbies yet were o.k with letting their children prance around with a Dragon Named "Puff".

Not to mention a more extensive use of roundabouts, traffic signs in the U.K. are often on the road itself where the driver should be looking, and many more...
The entire system has a more intelligent and well thought out design when it comes to driver safety.

Not quite.There are no longer "fixed opening hours" and any pub can apply to the licensing authority to open whenever it suits it best.The authority looks into the situation and makes a decision based upon many factors , primarily the location of the pub.If it's located in an area where the extra noise would affect local residents a very late licence won't be granted.
In fact pubs have always been able to plead special circumstances-many markets have from time immemorial been open at 5.30 am to allow traders their refreshment.And there never was any problem drinking "after hours" in the old days-just find a pub where the landlord knew you.
