Why don't you learn to spell proper? And stop speaking with that phoney baloney accent, we all know you stop doing it when nobody is around, and sound like Dick van Dyke. Gawd bless you, Merry Parpins!

He's one of America's finest 'actors'. His English accent is breathtaking.

You are really showing your age there John.

I never liked DvD.

During my interview at the college newspaper (Milwaukee) the editor asked if I was from Liverpool.

"Liverpool?, you mean in England?"

"Yes!"

"No, I am from Pittsburgh!"

Must have been all that British Progressive Rock I listened to in the 70's. :D

Strangely enough, he's still working. He did the voice-over for the old guy in the recent Curious George movie. Thankfully he didn't attempt to repeat his wonderful accented triumphs from yesteryear.

I would tell you, but you'd likely take offence. Maybe even a gate.

Quaint? Ain't it qaint?

John, don't you Brits have something better to do? Run an empire, perhaps? Oh, wait... Nevermind. :doh: :whistle:

The Empire's still there, you just can't see it as well as you used to. They turned it into a bingo hall.

I think you've mastered the International Language of Insults, so no translation is necessary. If you want to be doubly sure, sign language is always good.

Indeed, as I've been saying now for many years and based on a stack of surprisingly good geopolitical reportage and analysis. Some days I think, "Why of course, it's inevitable, we'll certainly throw in with them eventually," etc. I predicted that five nations were inclined to disintegration and three have already fallen apart; the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia. The others on my list were and are Indonesia and Canada which if they don't fall apart will jettison what is no longer supportable. Eventually, in the case of Canada, to be merged into the North American Union with its new weighted currency, the Amero, soon to replace your local currency by 2050, effective in Mexico, Canada and the United States. This new political and economic union will be administered more on the English model including replacement of all primary and secondary education everywhere by their exemplary system. In this way English will be made to prevail even though there will always be areas where Spanish or French will be more or less expected. In this way and on for the foreseeable future, the British Empire, which I am happy to remind us also includes Scotland, will gain an essential position on this continent which they actually look upon privately as something like their natural patrimony, extending veritable command from Canada, over both countries to its south. I expect that Canadians will come out doing very well indeed into the bargain.

If I believe in the future, and I do, I'd be invested in Canada.

It's not 'Propor'.

But if it was, the u would belong right here: Propour.
