Why the UK is better than the US

[shecky]

LGI continues to laud all things British, yet he remains in Ohio.
Argument done.

 

[kjung]

To be fair, it's just the smaller player that does all the colliding. The 300+lb lardass ain't really going anywhere.

"Smaller", as in 250 lb.+? And, to be fair, most of those 300+lb. "lardasses" are VERY athletic. Certainly more so than you or I right now.

Hey! I never said I didn't like it here! I always try to remain fair and balanced, but that's another current thead.

The UK has prime minister's question time.
The US has a press secretary.

Don't you have to have a license to watch television in the UK? Or did I misunderstand?

Nope. You need a licence to own one. You can watch it for free.

The TV licence is what funds the BBC......So minus one point for the UK for a TV licence, but Plus one point for the BBC!

Well, I posted in the other thread, so to be fair:

-Music: Beatles, the Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Isle of Wight festival, etc etc
-Cars: I swear to god when the hell are we gonna get the Ford Focus RS?!
-No Texas/California: though I assume you have your own versions
-High gas prices: as soon as gas prices go up, SUV sales go down, and that makes me happy

[Orfy]

Annual.

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

If you only have one year to live, then yes.

From John Cleese during Bill Clinton's years:

Top 3 reasons why England is better than the USA:

1) We speak English
2) When we hold a World Championship, we invite other countries
3) When meeting a head of State, you only have to get down on one knee....

 

[Pappers_]

If Orfy and LGI are from there, it must be a pretty great place

Why do we Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?
