Why is Britain crap at everything?

[Solly]

And the men are so crap in bed, bananas can't be imported unless they are curved enough to avoid being used as dildos.

Is that the reason behind that piece of European legislation?

Yes, we have oil. We have good quality oil.

It's so good we export it all and buy in the cheap stuff.

North Sea Oil is the oil benchmark.

Prices are even displayed as "Brent crude per barrel".

UK! UK! UK!

So how come we're not rich like Saudi?

[Provost Harrison]

We are not crap at everything. Look at the millennium dome for a true demonstration of our nations capabilities...

...erm

That's what we have to show for the last decade; the worlds largest mammory gland

[*End Is Forever*]

We're considerably richer than Saudi. Check the GDP figures Seneca.

But in terms of oil revenue...

Brent Oil might be better but there isn't as much of it.
Sea Drilling is expensive, and finding it is speculative and even more expensive

[MORON]

Just look at the people that posts from there.


Ha...now thats a cheap shot

Blur...yeah I'll let you have that. Radiohead...yeah, used to be good. Supergrass, pretty cool and yeah, Pulp, they have talent. But what in the name of frig is CRAIG DAVID doing in there?

That putrid little weaself*cker should have his genitalia removed with a rusty razor and thrown in a vat of salt. He is an insult to my hearing.

I admit that Craig David isn't nearly as good as the other folks on my list. However, his music is quite effective at removing the undergarments of my lady friends and I must give him some credit for this. The fact that Mr. David helps me get laid makes him worthy of inclusion (I think).

God, this reminds me of a paper I once wrote, with one sentence changed.

"Under the onslought of the American war machine, Europe lay in chaos."

Did your teacher correct you for misspelling onslaught?

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

You know, I've thought long and hard about whether we are the greatest nation at any one thing, and I've decided that probably the only one that might apply is in swearing. Does any other nation possess such a staggering and imaginative range of obscenities?

We have a 1/2 size replica about a 1 & 1/2 hours drive from me in Texas. Next to it are some 1/2 size replicas of Easter island statues.

Its not a patch on Carhenge in Alliance, Nebraska!

The drive through Nebraska was so damned boring that to see a couple of old cars piled into a Stonehenge replica was actually the higlight of the day.
