The only thing that annoys me with 986...

Oh, buck up. Have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz? Are you the wicked witch of the west? Will you melt if you get wet? You Brits have anything better than the Hun? I don't think so.

Let me see, you Brits have the best food in the world, well maybe not. Brit food is boiled , starchy, dreary fare. The fish and chips are good, probably the only palatable food other then the great Indian, French and Thai food. Oh, but those would be foreign foods.

So, lets explore Queen Elizabeths's (is that the name of your current Royal accident of sperm that claims supreme power because of pedigree?) cars. Well, the Jaguar E type is, without a doubt, one of the most sublime autos ever made. More pretty than the Italian cars of the era, as fast or faster than the Hun (read Porsche) cars.

But that was decades ago. After the Jaguar, you had the wonderful Triumph and MG. Purchasers of these new cars would go back to the dealer and complain that the car was leaking a pint of oil a week. The dealer would tell them " Oh yes, the car definitley has a problem, it should be leaking at least a QUART of oil a week" And of course, Brit cars had the wonderful Lucas electronics. Lucas, the prince of darkness. Why wasn't there a notice on the dash that read, WARNING, use lights only during daylight hours?

So yes, the sun never set on the Empire, but that was decades ago. Times are different now. The Hun makes a great car, so unless the Brits have something better than the Porsche, don't blame Germans for for the Empire's crappy weather.

I saw this on a menu at a South Beach Italian restaurant.

Heaven Is Where:

The Italians are the cooks
The French are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
It's all organized by the Swiss

Hell is Where:

The British are the chefs
The Swiss are the lovers
The French are the mechanics
The Germans are the police
it's all organized by the Italians!
