Chips vs. fries? Depends on what kind of fries. Your chips are equivalent to our steak fries. Both pretty good.
Food is nothing to get hostile over. Lighten up, Opera.
lol twas lighthearted....hence the smiley <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">

sometimes you've just got to keep going....
But then again when you are at a sports game what is better than a Hotdog and a good Budweiser? Hey at least it's better than british beer!!! Or a microbrew beer is even better. Baseball vs Cricket? ha ha ha. Dodge Viper vs ............ uh yeah that was the Germans and Italians. Escalade vs Royals Royce. Easy a Escalade can drive over a Royals Royce, so when I'm sitting in American Style on top of your British Style there is not much you can say but "please move sir" at least in america we have the weapons to make someone pay for a act like that <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
Not that I'm following this thread or anything but it went off at a tangent concerning cars, all I can say is "Bentley Turbo R"
Except of course Bentley is now German.
Curses!!!!!!
I'll just bugger off then........ <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif">
and take a look at florida - bush 2,912,790, gore 2,912,253. bush wins by 537 votes, but about 3000 from west palm beach (normally a democrat stronghold) were not counted. hmmm. real fair. so dont go claiming america is the home of democracy.
i'm sure all that has been discussed before, but someone really pissed me off by saying Gobshite Bush was put in office fairly.
cricket any day - can be a bit dull, but better than sitting through nine innings of glorified throw-and-catch-and-hit-a-ball-with-a-fencepost. in cricket, at least they only have two innings each. (even though my definition of baseball actually fits rather well with cricket too - talk about shooting yourself in the foot <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> ).

MoK: Thanks for saying almost everything I was going to say but almost certainly more eloquently. Ta.
Frasier for example. Although Daphne's accent is really bad which, when you consider she IS a brit, is embarrasing.
But food? Like what exactly? What food is purely from US and wasn't brought in by immigrants?
Hot dogs are all the pieces of meat you wouldn't eat if you knew where they come from. Black Pudding (Blood Pie?) is bad, but at least you know what it's made of <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/wink.gif">
Bud sucks the big one. I'd let you have Jack Daniels though, that's nice, but even then the Jocks do it better. You just make the mixers <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">
I thought Bud was originally a Czech beer. Anyway I don't know of any good American or British beers. Stella Artois is without a doubt the dogs bollox.
Whoo wants hotdog's when you can have a very lovely Donor Kebab or even go and have a Chicken Vindaloo or Jalfrezi at the local Indian.
I'm bloody hungry.

skive, just remembered something i read in a newspaper a while back. did we (the British people) not vote 'chicken tikka masala' or some sort of curry as our national dish? you seem like a curry-phile, so perhaps would be more in the know than some. if so, 's a bit feckin stupid!

With the exception of Pink Floyd (not sure what to call their music, except good), I believe all those bands were playing either Rock 'n' Roll or The Blues...two American music forms.
Having visited Texas and had their barbeque, as well as cajun in New Orleans, I can firmly state that American cuisine ranks as good as any in the world (although I have a great fondness for Thai). However, most of their beer is piss.
Asked a Yank that I know about that National Anthem thing. He says they don't do that in American schools. And as far as he knows, never have (at around 40 and a professional educator, I expect he knows).
Christopher Columbus found America. Americans speak English (even though you call it American).
So in four words and an exclamation mark:
We own your asses!

If you chose to ignore the War of Independence.
Oh and military might, political power and the fact that the US is the largest consumer in the world (although I'm not sure how proud they should be of that last fact)...
I like bikes the same way I like my women...
Fast, sleek and Italian.
Chips? you put vinegar on them don't you?
YUCK!
french fries dipped in douche...
Al capone died of syphillis too.
I guez the WW2 thing is over now?
no offense was ever intended by me, the UK put up with a lot of shit for 6+ years and perservered!
V-1/2's, lord haw-haw, some of the earlier defeats, bombings during the air war... you know better than I do, your parents/grandparents lived through it. just wanted to make sure that I was not misunderstood.
PS. MoKent, I don't eat cereal, Sealion was planned for 1940, postponed as you did say due to the inefficiency of the luftwaffe in the face of the RAF. However, it was not cancelled. Rehearsals were still being conducted in the spring of 1941. and yes the only thing hitler was waiting on was the reduction of the RAF and the implementation of the so-called super weapons, Me 262(jet) V-2, nukes pending and all the other oddities that none of the allies had yet. but it was definitley called off when the USAAC relocated to to britain and began doing joint bombings with britain's bomber command.
peace to you my english friend I always love a history buff.
While kind of crude in context....I'd like to point out that with the addition of several seasonings, you will end up with a lovely light Italian dressing.
Just an observation... Cheers, Rage!
the relocation of about 95% of the luftwaffe to the russian front during 1941-42 was the main reason sea-lion was never really contemplated again. but, the germans liked to keep us brits on our toes, so did mock-invasion drills up until early 1942 (i think). this diverted troops from the n. african theatre to defend the home shores. it was also one of the reasons why churchill was so happy to have mass US forces (particularly air forces) pour in to britain, rather than n. africa where they were probably more urgently needed.
the unexpected side-effect of this was that, now germany itslef was almost devoid of air cover due to the russian war, bomber command in the UK was able to launch massive joint aerial bombing raids on the fatherland almost continuously from 1942 to the end of the war.
once again, my post seems to have jack shit to do with anything, so i'll shut up now <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

No, he isn't. Columbus was Genoese by birth. He did first discover the West Indies, but also went to the mainland.
Luftwaffe had good pilots, equipment and training. The problem was they had fuctup leaders. They had equpiment years ahead of anyone else. They had tenacity and daring. This is probably why they folled the orders of Hitler and Goring oftentimes to their death.
Logically speaking, Sealion would have failed. The peoples of britain would have defended their homeland to the finish regardless of American intervention.
Potatoes marinated in douche
Blechhhhh!
