Question for our British friends

[spinsurgeon]

dadisneynutter - are you sure your English teacher, from England and called Mr. English, saying things like "spot of tea" isn't really Mr. Bean in disguise? He could of course, have a spot of tea on his shirt or something, spilled at breakfast or one of the other ten occasions during the day when he may have been drinking it (I'm sure they put crack cocaine or something like that in tea. It's addictive!)

I missed out a few of the earlier posts, so it's "Guv'nor" not "Gov'nor" and it's usually uttered by black cab drivers (that's people who drive black cabs, not black people who drive cabs, just in case you were wondering)

TTFN

As far as the original question goes, the main rock bands are probably the same as the US as most of them appear to be nu metal lite weights or grunting dirge blasters like Korn and
housewifes favourites Slipknot.

Other than that theres a whole bunch of 80s 90s bands getting back together.

Coldplay, as warm and inviting as a cup of cold sick.

Hello dadisneynutter :wave:

I was just wondering which Brit comedies you liked

Oh on a completely unrelated topic (and I am gonna sound like such a Brit now), what is the best clothing for Orlando in December? I assume it's still shorts and t-shirts, am I right?

At least I won't be going round in jeans, thick jumper (t-shirt under the thick jumper), 2 pairs of socks, heavy shoes, balaclava, scarf, and wooly mittens as I did last December Ok maybe I'm over exagarrating. I only wore 1 pair of socks, ha ha.

Surely I'll need a pair of ??

By the way, Justin Timberlake is like huge over here right now, with his current CD at number 1 in the album charts.

He also recently appeared on the top UK music awards, namely The Brits, and completely stole the show.

I'm a Brit, but I love so many American things. For example, well, Disneyworld of course, bands like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters. TV shows like Dawsons Creek NYPD Blue, Friends, and ER. I wanna be like you-o-o :lol:

I swear, I must watch about 2 home-made shows a week, compared with so many American-made shows.

You rule!!!

Iechyd da!!!

That`s funny,cause I`m american and alot of the groups I like are either from The U.K or from Germany,Like Depeche Mode,Erasure,front 242,Theatre of tragedy....ETC. Blimey!:lol:

 

[minniemouseuk]

Depeche Mode eh? The other amazing thing started with a "D".

I have seen them live twice, and they are fantastic.

I am rather partial to their "Violator" period But it was during the "Songs Of Faith & Devotion" period that I saw them in concert.

Favourite DM song? Mine has to be "Clean" closely followed by "World In My Eyes".

Yay to die Prinzen!! I love Millionär! Hee hee, oh, and rammstein, of course...

Oh, and minniemouseuk, I'm a major fan of Bean, I love Monty Python, Black Adder, are you being served?? I'm sure there's many many more, but I really can't think of them!

Oh, by the way, has anyone seen the preview for that movie "Jonny English" (I think that's the title) with Rowan Atkinson? It looks HILLARIOUS!!!!

LOL! I`m an "old school" Depeche mode fan,my favorite albums are Music for the masses and Construction time again,with my all time favorite song being Everything counts! By the way,I have seen them 8 times now!:wave:

 

[minniemouseuk]

8 times eh? Well that beats my 2 just about ha ha.

Do Americans watch Keeping Up Appearances and Only Fools & Horses? I haven't heard of that Jonny English film. But Rowan Atkinson is a scream, so will have to watch out for that one. I was particularly fond of him in Blackadder too.

The Simpsons is my favourite show by a mile though. Homer Simpson is the coolest. My other hero is Mickey Mouse. The two are totally different of course, but I love them both, and what they represent. What they both have in common though in the ability to make me and :lol:

Another thing I do which some of my friends find totally freaky. I watch Fox News more than any of the British news channels. I am obsessed with finding out the weather in Florida. Man, I need help!

As I have said in another thread, I should just do the right thing and come on over there to live, if you'll have me!!!

I make an amazing cup of tea, and can sing "Beauty & The Beast" at a moments notice
