  22. The best of people are British. With their tea cups and their fancy hats and their splendid accents, they are by far superior to us all. Many great things spawned from British folk. Like the Beatles. And crumpets. I quite wish I were British, you know. Life would be so much better.

    Kisa

  25. I was just looking at some composite images of what americans would look like in 2010, as published in 1910. It had lots of ethnic type photos and the only ones i thought i might be able to identify were the irish and english ones. I thought they had smaller heads. Is that racist? I don’t know.

  29. British makes me think of one of my favorite movies growing up. I must admit I loved Winning London. It was one of the Mary Kate and Ashley movies. I thought the lead boy was cute and had a huge crush on him. Years later his career has greatly improved. From Mary Kate and Ashley movie to Chase on House.

    Sabrina
  30. She had a bit of an accent, bipolar, or Burmese, or maybe it was British, either way I couldn’t help but curl inside my own skin whenever she spoke, which was far too often.

  31. british? How very British of you to say that. British? Heck, that’s a hard one, wouldn’t you say. And as you’re typing this out, are the word in your head coming out as a Cockney accented babble? They are for me. My aunt is from Britian and my cousins, the lucky kids, have a lovely tinge of british accent.

  32. I once spent time with a British bloke. Good time. Until he had too much to drink and too much time to think. Tried to kill his mate. Jealousy. Not pretty. Especially at Christmas.

  36. He was an artist, just like me. AND he had a British accent. I thought it would work out oh so beautifully.

    But when I stopped to listen to the shit he was actually saying, I realized just how wrong I had been.

    So I punched him in the face and kicked him out of my house.

  37. Smelly, bucked toothed snobs with bad teeth, terrible tea, and the founders of the entire North American culture excluding Mexico. That is a very unpleasant thought

  39. the one thing you’d notice about jack seeley besides his short stature, was his british smile. whenever he opened his mouth he’d bare his rows of square yellow teeth. the price of a pack a day hed say and light another cigarette.
