Please, i implore you, try to keep on topic! Certainly was not a Brit and he pretty much despised us. Think that I saw him in Pattaya though, just the once.

JoeLing Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ok guys, let us all chill. I don't think any body means to bash anyone else in this thread, and I think people are taking things the wrong way. That's the problem with having a British sense of humour. Non-Brits think we're taking all this seriously and becoming offended. We're not. We're just taking the piss... Seriously?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob8891 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 dam_n...... I've missed out on all the fun, cos my internet connection has gone T-U...... Glad to see you're still trying to educate the colonials, Bangkokrick.... get them talking properly...... Where's professor Higgins when you need him??? Just joking.... I've been trying to play catch-up with all the posts.... I am sorry to see that someone gave themselves a wedgie over my previous posts.... Nothing was said in anyway seriously, and maybe (just maybe) if you read the Brits' contributions in here, you might unserstand a bit more about our sense of humour...... but you'll have to try hard.

David48 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Did the Poms give us James Bond ... Agent 007 ?? The Yanks gave us ... oh, yes, Get Smart ... Mostly any movie or TV show produced outside of the USA is garbage. That is why AMERICAN made movies are famous WORLD WIDE, Australians and brits havent had an international blockbuster film such as Star Wars, Toy STory or Avatar ever...... Now we see Thaland copying all american TV shows=The Voice, Thailands Got Talent, etc...... V for Vendetta is the best brittish film ever made next up is clockwork orange... Actually 'The Voice' is a dutch concept and as travelmann wrote ... Oh dear.... you dont watch much do you? Isnt Thailands got Talent a spin off from the Uks Simon Cowells program ( again crap imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) But I agree that the Americans are far better at 'blockbusters' and also produce other v good films. The Hollywood Film Makers, as does Bollywood, produce formulatic films that appeal to popcorn eating pubescent boys. Often, the real money is made with the merchandising by-product ... think Happy Meals and the like. But let's not denegrate the poor ole' Septics but celebrate what made the ole' Empire great. Sir David Frederick Attenborough OM, CH, CVO, CBE, FRS, FZS, FSA He still invades my Television Set ... love that voice, even if he doesn't do the field work like he did in his youth ... he is 86 after all!

David48 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 ^^ I'm not even a Brit ... though can admire talent and freely acknowledge it yet still keep a strong sense of pride in my nation.

Popular Post Chittychangchang Posted September 24, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2012 SAN FRANCISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP SIGNIFICANCE OF IRONY - Jay Fullmer, 38, yesterday became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony. "It was weird," Fullmer said. "I was in London and, like, talking to this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said, "Great weather, eh?" and I thought "Wait a minute, no way is it great weather." Fullmer then realised that the other man's 'mistake' was in fact deliberate. Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, plans to use irony himself in future. "I'm, like, using it all the time," he said. "Last weekend I was grilling steaks and I burned them to shit and I said "Hey, great weather!". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
