You guys crack me up! (In the States, that means "make me laugh") But I've been a big fan of Brittish humor since I first saw the Python boys about 30+ years ago. There is a big Python cult following here still!

The US has become so "politicaly correct" that we even have to watch what we say to each other, lest it be misconstrued as some sort of insult to someones sex, race or religion. Too bad, it used to be a pretty fun place to live and work, but with all the lawsuits over work place harrassment, etc, everyone has to go to "sensitivity training" or be fired, or sued, or jailed!

Grob, I used to lay over in Brighton quite a bit, 1996-2000. We stayed at the Thistle and the Metropole, right across the street from a bunch of cats and dinghys on the beach. Is your H16 out there? I used to walk down to Hove and rent a Pico (or something like that) for an afternoon sail.

Now they have us staying up in Crowley, which for me isn't nearly as nice, but I plan to take the train to Brighton next time I'm there, have a few pints at the Fiddler's Elbow and the Firk N' Forth...the place that has the big pipe organ over the bar, I think it used to be a church?

Anyway, I really appreciate the humor (I got it the first time) and please don't feel like you can't post sarcasim here, most of us "Yanks" on this board still have a sense of humor, or we wouldn't be racing cats in the first place!!

I love the Aussie humor too, I used to see alot of the Quantas aircrews in Tokyo, we stayed at the same hotel. You could always count on a good time if you hung out with them, but even their women will drink us Yanks under the table! (in the States, that means don't get in a drinking contest with them!)


Here's my short list of places I'm going to move to, after Walmart takes over the USA...Ireland (back to my roots, and Dermot's club!), England (Brighton, of course!), Austrailia, New Zealand, and if I can ever learn a new language, I'd gladly live in Holland... All I can say there is "Heineken" so Wouter, get ready!

Now, for some Yank Humor, I'm going to try to add a link to one of our funnier sites, but I don't know if it will work outside the states, and you must have high speed internet to view it, and be sure to scroll down to see the video. Warning: NOT politicaly correct! So Sue ME!
