19 April 1775 The Original Patriot's Day

[Dr. MD MD]

We can sell it at both kinds of football.  I'm almost surprised boring 0-0 soccer games don't cause issues here, but that is probably because no one is watching US soccer.  It's pretty awful.

While I wasn't born there most of my ancestors beyond my grandparents were; and while I think the system of monarchy is an insanity that any reasonable people should want to evolve past I can't deny that there is an undeniable genetic pull towards most things British for me. The food gets a bad rap but I love things like fish and chips, Cornish pasties and a good Sunday roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. Why it's just loverly. Truly, some of my favorite meals.

P. S. Of course soccer riots occur because it's the world's lowest scoring, most boring sport and so "fans" have to make their own fun.

We adore America. It's like having a gawky adolescent nephew who always means well, is polite to all but has an annoying habit of farting at inappropriate moments. Oh and can't help telling the rest of the family how wonderful he thinks he is.

And who keeps coming over to deal with the local bullies who kick sand in your face.  Your Welcome.

Well, eventually yes. After the kick off and halfway through the second half, after first standing aside to watch the little guy fight at odds of up to 150:1 against. Then afterwards making sure you secured protection money before you dipped your toe in.

Protection money.  Hmmmm, yeah.   No.

Any nation that gave the world bacon butty's with brown sauce, Cornish pasties, and proper pints of bitter is OK in my books.

Cornish pasties are the one food they get right!  That one is magnificent!

Not keen on it at all. Overpaid mincing prima donnas.

Give it a rest, Stephanie. You're just jealous because you've never been able to make a living as a mincing prima donna.
