anyone from wales here this eve/early morning

[EddyH]

Got the TV on, listening to the national assembly election results coming in while PC'ing away... I couldn't give a toss about the results or the politicians or anything (they didn't exactly do a good job of promoting their manifestos), would have turned off ages ago, but obviously the presenters have realised that there's about three hundred people in the entire country watching, which includes none of their superiors, and it's the most unintentionally hilarious thing ever. Distinctly unprofessional conduct (one of the outside broadcasters is openly and unashamedly 3-beer-drunk), lots of things going wrong, really bad jokes, worse ties... Tempted to go the mile up the road to the local studio and streak thru it, they keep cutting to various pokey TV shacks around wales and bangor's one has come up a couple times

Long live Wales.. this place is crazy. In an only occassionally good way.

Is this a chat site now for the Brits? Thank goodness its not live. Tea should always be served cold and potatoe chips should never be called crisps and come in prawn cocktail flavor. And yes there is no ham in a hamburger. Beefburger is the correct term. A British invention? What ever happened to that fab-four you sent over?

[rhegedus]

See where it says 'Off topic'? Know what that means?

Regards,

the fab four split up in 1970, having made their millions and are now regarded the world over as the best band ever. as far as "chips" are concerned, i remember an episode of the simpsons where one of the fab four wrote to marge explaining that french/freedom fries are actually chips and that your "chips" are what we call crisps. tayto, an irish company invented the crisp so that's the proper name! prawn cocktail is actually the best crisp flavour and in ireland you can buy "skips" in this great flavour. can you buy skips in britain and america too?

and as for cold tea, yeah right! and i suppose you drink cold coffee too!(well, thats what that woman who sued McDonalds must have thought!)

and i suppose you drink cold coffee too!

Iced capuccino to be exact, mmmmm!

[Will Hay]

can you buy skips in britain and america too?

You certainly can in Yorkshire!
Love 'em!
Oh, and potatoe chips should never be called crisps?
My arse.
US global domination ain't as far reaching as you think young-un

and potatoe chips...

How American, I think that's how Dan Quayle (former US V.P.) spelled it too!

I was quoting jdizzy40.
I know how to spell it, like I know how to spell aluminium

What the f*ck is that supposed to mean?

[jdizzy40]

Means nothing. I lived in England for 5 years, loved the people and the countryside. Just when it comes to communicating, you have to of lived in the country a while to understand the wit and humor. Sometimes I felt like I needed an interpertor. Just yanking your leg mate. No harm meant. Thanks for standing with us again!

Thanks, I sounded some kind of 'man I'm sick of hearing these guys' for a second

Thanks for standing with us again!

That's why I jumped in the deep end, I value the US-UK Alliance
Take care,

FYI

Chips = Crisps. Look at them. They're crispy. They're not, however, in the shape of a chip, unless you live in a slate mine. Try smacking some rocks off each other, you'll see what I mean.

Fries = Chips, sometimes. Sure. They're fried. But fries are thin and almost like folded up crisps. Chips are nice and big. And roughly chip shaped. Mmm.
(eg, McDonalds doesnt sell chips, it sells fries, salty crunchy things for dipping in sauce, as an aside to your burger... George's Best down the side of the gracechurch shopping arcade most definately sells chips, a filling food with a small piece of cod in an inch of batter to add variety)

anything with an OR on the end which is pronounced with an uh-type sound should have a U in it, unless you actually say it -ohrr somehow.

Aluminum, however, does = Aluminum. In this case, it was the UK got it wrong. Added an extra I, such as in Canadanian and Florididian.

Thank you


PS...... Birmingham 'exile' (student) living in Bangor (studnet town). I won't be any specific than that to avoid the attentions of the roving Plaid Cymru-aligned repatriation squads
And it was BBC1. Um, I mean, BBC1W...
Does scotland have any special channels?

Huw Edwards, how long til he gets the sack for being clearly off his head on acid (or maybe Leek Vodka (ok, maybe pushing it too far now )) any time he makes a broadcast?

SWANSEA?!

Heathen!

(calls rheggie all kinds of foul names as he's about as far away from Bangor as New York is, timewise)
