It's OK though, because all the EVIL characters have British accents. Bad guys are cool and Yanks are morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved my US road trip (2012 when the Olympics were on) American - Where abouts in Oz are you from ? Me - London Yank - Oh do you know Mrs Jones that lives in Balham Me - Yep we meet for coffee and cake quite frequently Yank - Awesome ... What about your Queen jumping out of that helicopter ? Me - ah , it's not biggie she does it all the time before trooping the colour Yank - Awesome to give it some balance though ,if you recall there was some confusion in America over the Olympics 2012 ceremony , as to why Abraham Lincoln was present ( it was IK Brunel ) , few days later I went to Gettysburg and posted pictures of me on Facebook with a fake beard and the Hat on ... My American mate posted to ask me why I was dressed up as Isambard Kingdom Brunel ( you had to be there I guess ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Where do these strange men come from who spend all day sitting in barber shops but don't get a haircut? They just come in, sit and talk nonsense. I don't think they even know the staff. Happened while I was getting my bonce cut today. No one knew him and the barber said he comes in everyday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 It's a traditional social thing. Though I did wonder about some of the late night ones? Still open at 2am? Really? They were a front for knocking shops, I found out later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the other fella that was always sitting down with the glasses? Was his name Michael? There was a lot of people sitting about in Desmonds, I'm fairly certain poor Desmond was the only one grafting all day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael was his oldest son, who I think was a bank manger. His wife used to do ladies hair, and I think he had at least one other person worked there (I recall a white guy?).

HanoiVillan Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Was there ever really a time when women's first response to situations of danger or distress was to faint, and if so, when and why did it end?

Wainy316 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well I always heard if it makes contact with your eyes it can blind you but I might try eating it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Funnily enough I saw a programme the other day with that little bald cockney consumer rights TV fella Dom and it had a case of a kid who got some sort of illness from bits of a dog poo that made her lose her eyesight temporarily, so I think it is definitely true.

tonyh29 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 toxocariasis can cause temporary blindness but you get that from old dog poo as it takes a while for the eggs to hatch or something so if you stick to fresh stuff you'll be Ok 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a sitcom at christmas that I found pretty good. Didn't care too much for his good news thing. I am not sure what I dislike most about him. The fact he is approaching 40 and still thinks he is 18, the fact that he thinks he is cool as ****, the fact he thinks doing a Bristol accent everytime is funny, the fact he thinks shouting random words is entertainment, the fact the smug clearing in the woods thinks playing internet videos on his TV show and then shouting very loudly what we just watched is comedy. The fact he is pretty talentless and is a multi millionaire. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
