slackers! finish the job you lazy gits!

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:28 (twenty years ago) link

The answer is Germany you fuckfaces.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:30 (twenty years ago) link

No one asked for your opinion, Ally. Go back to work.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:31 (twenty years ago) link

America does have the kraft-genius that is Taco John's though. well at least in the North West. So i'm willing to put history aside for that.

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:32 (twenty years ago) link

"Our tax dollars at work"

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:32 (twenty years ago) link

Um, Momus lives in Germany now

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:34 (twenty years ago) link

I am not letting one man ruin my opinion of an entire race! He's not even actually German.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:35 (twenty years ago) link

TOMBOT makes me hate Alabama. And that seems fair.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:35 (twenty years ago) link

I am not letting one man ruin my opinion of an entire race!

Said in re: Germany -- has a kind of icky feel, no?

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:36 (twenty years ago) link

Momus is all things to all men. I'd like to think that theres a small part of him inside all of us. Including the Germans

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:37 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, if you're totally lame, Enrique.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:37 (twenty years ago) link

Enrique's no? was entirely too latin.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:40 (twenty years ago) link

ANYWAY, Germans.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:43 (twenty years ago) link

I'm German, Ally. Perhaps you should reconsider your Deutschlove.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 14:44 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, if you're totally lame, Enrique.

Oh, okay. Germans != race anyways. < /feverish efforts to repress inner Burchill>

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:04 (twenty years ago) link

oops, trust me, you are such a nonissue in my mind that your statement doesn't really affect me at all.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:06 (twenty years ago) link

Ah, snap!

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:47 (twenty years ago) link

Hey! This is my thread. Behave yourselves and be nice to each other. Discuss the relative merits of America and Britain. Discuss shower water pressure and Spanish bars in Clapham. Discuss how the major problem of Clapham is the lack of 137 buses. Now I'm going to bed, goodnight.

― An Australian, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:51 (twenty years ago) link

What is bovril?

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:51 (twenty years ago) link

Now I'm going to bed, goodnight

That made absolutely no sense to me until i read his/her handle...

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:53 (twenty years ago) link

'beef tea'

bet that sounds like fun out in california or wherever.
not a universally adored dish.

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:53 (twenty years ago) link

Is that just like drinking beef soup broth?

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:54 (twenty years ago) link

Dunno. It's rank, whatever (if healthy). cf Marmite.

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:55 (twenty years ago) link

How does it differ from bouillion?

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 15:59 (twenty years ago) link

Dunno, you can't say 'bouillion' in a thick Glaswegian accent with quite the same effect.

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:03 (twenty years ago) link

Aye.

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:07 (twenty years ago) link

It has the texture of honey and the appearance of v. dark chocolate spread. You put a spoonful of it in a mug of hot water and stir. It helps you survive a winter afternoon of deadly non-league nil-nil draw. This is Bovril.

― Madchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:26 (twenty years ago) link

"Snap" is the funniest response to anything ever.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:27 (twenty years ago) link

Both countries have fine people in them and reasons to be there. Simple!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:27 (twenty years ago) link

Peace monger.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:28 (twenty years ago) link

:-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:28 (twenty years ago) link

THE UK IS SHIT, BRING ON IT FUCKFACES.

Except they stole my Tracer Hand? What is that about? That's really sad and disheartening.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:29 (twenty years ago) link

UK roxx u r all anglophiles

― Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

UK is obviously better because

A) we can spell
B) we can hold our booze
C) Americans have no sense of irony hahahhahahhhaha do you see I've now made up for our relative and absolute decline in the past 70 years hoorah for me and that famed brit wit fnar fnar look you've got Bush in charge oho yes, regard our infinitely superior marauding fucknut yes...

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:35 (twenty years ago) link

Americans have no sense of irony

That's Canadians (-ennes).

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:37 (twenty years ago) link

"marauding fucknut" is the best definition of Blair ever

― Bob Shaw (Bob Shaw), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:44 (twenty years ago) link

Id like to drop off a few rough-necks from Compton/E-LA in Europe...see what happens. I saw a bunch of dudes this summer in Germany that dressed tough, but were like 110lbs...wonder what they'd be like in Lands Down?

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 16:55 (twenty years ago) link

'Bunch of dudes in Germany that dressed tough', eh?

Your Compton pussies wouldn't last five minutes against our West Ham fans, bizzotch -- just cos you all get free guns on graduation from 'junior high' or whatever you call it doesn't make you hard, alright? ;)

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:00 (twenty years ago) link

Obviously the question of which country is better should be settled by a game of basketball.

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

Or rounders -- sorry 'baseball'.

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, baseball would be good, too.

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:03 (twenty years ago) link

or even better, football.

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:04 (twenty years ago) link

Or egg-on-a-spoon race.

― Nemo (JND), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 17:11 (twenty years ago) link

I would estimate you can smoke in 95% of American restaurants, albeit in a separate section at times.

I smell the Amazing Randy.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:40 (twenty years ago) link

Does it smell like urine and desperation? Yep, that's Randy.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:41 (twenty years ago) link

You didn't let me answer the question.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 5 November 2003 18:42 (twenty years ago) link
