I'm quite sure I don't understand the British at all.

It is quite easy really:
1. The silver, blue balled things are called Daleks,
2. They are from a long-running British Sci-Fi programme.
3. Dalek Dave has named himself after the same.
4. Daleks want to invade everywhere and exterminate anything non Dalek. A bit like cyborg Nazis.
5. The building is the houses of parliament, where the PM lives or something,
6. Therefore DD wants to be PM, but has blue balls.

Once again Wikipedia can be a valuable resource here:
"Like toddlers in perpetual hissy fits", gloating when in power and throwing tantrums when thwarted.[91] They tend to be excitable and will repeat the same word or phrase over and over again in heightened emotional states.

I once saw a picture on the interwebs where some red-neck had managed to drive his 4X4 onto the roof of his house. He managed to get it stuck up there.
There are 2 kinds of understanding:
#1: I understand the idea of driving a vehicle onto a house - I can picture the vehicle driving up onto the roof and a structural failure resulting in a stuck vehicle. I know what a house is and I know what a 4x4 is and I'm familar with the concept of stuck. I see how all three work together in the story.
#2: I still don't understand a vehicle stuck on a roof - from the WTF perspective.
My lack of understanding of the British is #2.

We only begin to make sense when you realize we've been at this being British thing for a thousand years and more, half of it isn't meant to make sense anyway its only meant to make foreigners go  so we can tell them apart.

Actually, I meant we can "all" be thankful we are not French - funny language, English isn't it? How would you say that in Hungarian I wonder (just wondering, not implying anything at all).
