Is it true?
I found this article (ok, it was sent to me by somebody taking the piss out of us noble Brits) and I thought it was a load of bollocks. Maybe.

www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/21/more-britons-than-america_n_159719.html

What do you think? Should the 'merkins feel ashamed? Are the Brits annnoying wankers who'd rather queue than live? Does anyone care?

Laters potaters

Yeah, I heard this on the radio the other day
The researcher was brought on and interviewed. He waffled on for some minutes about methods he'd used to gather his statistics etc.

He'd worked out that a higher proportion of us died than others, fact.

The queuing thing has no basis, apart from in his own mind. The interviewer (Radio 4, forget who though) pressed him on this quite a lot, he offered no facts etc, tried to attribute it to various racial stereotypes, stammered his lines quite a lot before the interviewer ended it.

Personally I think he embarrassed himself.

I wont deny we are a polite bunch who respect order, though we go a little too far sometimes.

Not enough swearing in this funting post. Sorry Meatsockmonkey :-)

Aaaargh
You horrible cunt.

When I clicked that link and tried to close the window, my PC went spastic and I've had to restart it twice. Did that happen to anyone else?

Also, the article looks like bollocks if you ask me.

muahahaha
Yes, Bert - you're right. I AM a horrible cunt. You've seen through my plot for world domination by crashing PCs allover the world. Ok, maybe not. No - it didn't happen to me.

Glad to hear that I'm not alone in thinking it's bollocks then. I don't think anyone would think "ooh, I mustn't be rude in this heinous life or death situation".

Yes, and please, more swearing next time. Asswipe.

I'm British...
...but if I were on an ocean liner about to slide into an icy sea I'd happily trample all over anyone to get to a lifeboat.

Especially if there were any danger of Celine Dion singing.

I witnessed an amusing exchange between two women jostling for a tube train this morning, one French and another a sloane ranger.

SR: "There is no need to push you know! I was here first!"

French woman: "No, I was here first!"

The French lady promptly elbowed her way to the front the second the train doors opened.

Wow, if my life hung in the balance I would certainly push any motherfucker out of the way.
Seriously, who wouldn't?
'Oh sorry dear you're at the back of the line, looks like you're going to die *sad face*'
Ummm....no.

I like the idea of a well-dressed man
going down.
He might need to remove his top hat, though.

Clenny you pervert.
He'd have to comb his hair then.

Or shave it.

You could shave it for him
while he's down there.

Right...
1. Three piece suit
2. Monocle
3. Silver cane
4. Polished shoes?

Over here then.

In frightfully boring terms...
In 1912 any 'Mercans who could afford to sail on the Titanic were probably First Class passengers who could get their butlers or valets to elbow the frightfully inferior European types aside.

All the European peasant scum were consigned to the bilges, which is where the water got in first.

Always worth remembering that Marconi - the Italian inventor who had developed the concept of the radio receiver - was, despite his invention - too poor to afford a first class berth and therefore drowned when the Titanic went down.

Anyway, that's yer factual stuff. Feel free to resume your homo-erotic fantasies.
