El Presidente Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks to JK! In a train from London to Manchester, an Australian was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment. "The trouble with you English is that you are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You resent immigrants and are reluctant to accept new, democratic ways of doing things. You think your stiff upper lip makes you above the rest of us. We Aussies are laid back, egalitarian, will mix with anyone. Look at me,.I have a little Italian in me, a bit of Greek blood, a little Irish and some Spanish blood. What do you say to that?" The Englishman lowered his newspaper, looked over his glasses and replied, "How very sporting of your mother” 2
Colt45 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I'm not sure I understand the hostility - don't both drive on the wrong side of the road, play cricket, and celebrate Queen's birthday? Happy Friday! 1
jat Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I'm not sure I understand the hostility - don't both drive on the wrong side of the road, play cricket, and celebrate Queen's birthday? Happy Friday! We drive on the correct side of the road, use a sporting contest to drink beer for 5 days and will celebrate anybodies birthday so long as we get a public holiday. The Poms have a long tradition of teaching the world to play games, then watch as the 'colonies' thrash them. We even threw a barby for Charles and the misses yesterday for his b'day, with no public holiday, how good was that... 1
