Ah yes, that would be a crushing blow to any Brit or Auzzie's self esteem.

No Yankie doodle dandy will reply as they are lost when it comes to humour from across the pond.

Their idea of humour is Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy who incidently both shout to get their point/catchphrase across.

I like it dry like my weather.

old KRS1 seems to have bee in his bonnet today, first this then the go at blaming expats for getting shot by their greedy wives...

do tell OP, what's your f' problem?

btw, the brits have always been here - its just the americans are all tied up on the USA election topics, the ozzies are still talking about cricket matches from the 90's to themselves, the kiwis are looking for beetroot to put on their burgers, the canucks are trying to figure out how to play ice hockey in shorts and sandals, the french have surrendered their board rights, the norwegiens are busy with motorbike issues in pattaya, the russians are trying to bring back white pants into main line fashion - again.

Funny made me smile anyhow....thanks

I like how when someone asks a normal innocent question that everyone thinks its a Brit bashing thread or a way to have a dig.

You guys to get your knickers out of that twist and chill.

I want to see some Ashes talk on here.....or why Aussies are geographically better placed for Thailand?

Its 12 hrs from the UK and 10 from Oz....its hardly a quick hop to Nice for the weekend....

[submaniac]

Ok, I may be wrong about the distance thing. I was just talking to some Aussie tourists once and they were telling me about how many times they were coming to Thailand. It was explained to me that they went because, partly, because with the costs of a vacation (hotel rooms, food, etc.) in Aussie, it was cheaper to come to Thailand than to go on a vacation in their own country.

the UK has home country music? ...youtube link please i need to laugh.

I tend to laugh at country music no matter who produces it, but particularly that yankee hillybilly stuff. Never mind

Smokie: just for you here's some "Ashes" talk.

1) What do you call an Australian with 100 by his name? A bowler.

2) Why can't Aussies open bottles? Because they don't have any openers.

3) What do you call an Australian with a bottle of champagne in his hand? A waiter.

4) What do you call a world class Australian? Retired.

5) What"s the difference between Ricky Ponting and a funeral director? A funeral director doesn"t keep losing the ashes.

6)Why is it unfair to call Australia the second best team over there? Because the English women's cricket team are in Australia as well.

7) What"s the height of optimism? An Aussie batsman putting on sunscreen.

8) What is the main function of the Australia coach? To transport the team from the hotel to the ground.

9) What do Aussie batsmen and drug addicts have in common? Both spend most of their time wondering where their next score will come from.

10) What"s the difference between Ricky Ponting and a phoenix? At the end of the ashes, the phoenix still has a future.

11) The ICC is investigating strange betting pattersn in the Sydney Test. Someone allegedly put $20 on Australia.

12) Why do Aussie fielders need pre-tour travel instructions? Because they never catch anything.

13) What did the spectator miss when he went to the toilet? The entire Aussie innings.

14)What could Chris Tremlett be if he was an Australian? An allrounder.

15) What's the Aussie version of a hat-trick? Three runs in three balls.

16) What is the most proficient form a footwork displayed by an Aussie batsman? The walk back to the pavilion.

17) What is the Australian version of LBW? Lost, beaten, walloped.

18) Why did the Englsh team drink whiskey, rum and gin after the Ashes? Because Beer couldn't knock them out.

19) What were the Aussies best chance of a win at Melbourne? Telling England the match was at Sydney!

20) Why are the Aussies demanding increased match payments? Someone has let on that the matches go to a fourth day.

thats equally as bad, but when a Brit does it its even worse....

[Payboy]

Is it me or are there more and more British on Thaivisa lately?

You've actually checked everyones teeth?

Feel free to post excerpts from Ricky Ponting's new book "Dealing with Humiliation and Failure Part II".

"over paid, over sexed, and over here"

Havnt met an American yet who wasnt loud, il-mannered and a show off, and was either a retired Seal or hitman.....but couldnt talk about it,

extremely wealthy, naturally and the only correct opinion was theirs, and if they wanted your opinion they would give that to you too.

Sorry chaps, but only speaking as I find.

On the flip side, the Aussies I have encountered seem to be genuine, down to earth types, but like the drink a little too much but that's probably just me as I dont drink and tend to notice those that do more. I think the phrase "rough diamond" comes to mind with our Australian fellows.

We cant help it if we're always right. Best thing to do is to learn how to deal with it and ask a lot of questions.

...and stop asking us to borrow money.

[chonabot]

I take it you've never been to a country and western pub in Fife, then?

I think this is the link you wanted

SC

ok i watched it and it appears that the Brits have their own version of country music. Willie Nelson it's not...instead of laughng i almost cried.

As a tribute to the British I am going to have fish and chips for lunch made by a mexican in Los Angeles.

G'day chaps !

Amazingly enough we also have British Blues bands - some of them quite successful...and don't even mention British Jazz....

They both have beaches.....there the similarity ends I'm afraid David. Made me hungry for mushrooms though...

The irony is that ole' smokes doesn't even particulary like the fine game of Cricket ... Tennis, for him, that's a different ball game.

You know what they say, as you get older your balls get lighter and smaller.

Love a good Ashes tour....mind you beating a mediocre Aussie team is no great achievement....not like the 2006 victory...now that was one for any Brit to savour!

You have to love America for easy credit !...where else can you manipulate your credit score to be 800+ Experian within 3 years?

You Brits are deprived of oppurtunity.

Ok, I may be wrong about the distance thing. I was just talking to some Aussie tourists once and they were telling me about how many times they were coming to Thailand. It was explained to me that they went because, partly, because with the costs of a vacation (hotel rooms, food, etc.) in Aussie, it was cheaper to come to Thailand than to go on a vacation in their own country.

The way I see it is... Thailand to Aussies is like Spain is to Brits. Its not too far away to travel to and its a hell of a lot cheaper than their own country.

You poor misguided child, geography not your strong point I see, let me enlighten you a little

Sydney to Bangkok = 4675 miles

London to Barcelona = 700 miles

Not quite the same eh ?

British cannot be cowboys, you cannot drink tea while riding a horse !

Have you ever seen what happens when you try to drink tea and ride a horse?
