Tired of discussing the Bunnymen and all the bands that have been influenced by them? This is the place for you.

Yeah, we can tell by that mangled collection of ivory in your mouth you have yet to figure out what they are for.

Seriously, though, with America's Ford Focus the most popular car in Britain, I am sure you knew.

Withahip, do they sell the German made-in-Britain Mini in the US? Just wondering.

No, they don't sell it there. They sell the same design vehicle but it's three times the size and named after the British car of the 1970s, the MAXI, if it was a Mini none of the buggers would fit in it.

You knew where I was going... Don't quite work, even with the convertible version.

Yup, because we all know how the British are a model for watching weight.

Did you know withahip that one in ten British men can't see their penis. Thankfully, given I run regularly run 64 km per week, I am not one of those poor blighters. Just checking, there's the chap. Yep I can see him.

http://www.metro.co.uk/news/839774-2-5-million-british-men-too-fat-to-see-their-own-penis

According to that article there are 15 million citizens in the UK who are fatties. The US it's two-thirds of the adult population. So what's that? About nine times more than here. What do the guys do over there when they want a visit from Rosie Palm and her five sisters. Or is sex with a fat woman easier?

That's not quite correct; two-thirds of the US population is overweight, and of those, about half are obese. There's a difference between being a little chubby and being ridiculously fat.

That being said, I think it's time to put an end to this ludicrous chatter. The last time I checked, the US and the UK haven't been at war with each other since the early 1800s. No need to start one now. I call time out!

I'm only jesting rather than being serious. However, fat, overweight or a "little chubby". It's still fat. Never said anything about ridiculously fat, other than the two million men in the UK whose bellies are so big they can't see their penis. Clearly, they must be or are bordering on the ridiculously fat.

Ooooooh, I didn't think that comment was about the size of their bellies.

Read the Metro article that accompanied my comment. But we know from an old thread by girlwithnoname, that it is not the Brits who have problems with the size of their codgers is it, other than you with your donkey schlonng - as Black Francis pointed out.
