OK, so we have deduced:
- Americans are @rseholes
- Britons are weird
I'd call that a satisfactory conclusion. Next meeting is Monday.

Fair enough. Who's in the firing line for the next meeting? (Hmm Probably the Americans again if it's a firing line)
|
|
|
|
|
The French and the Teletubbies.
Should be enough to keep us busy for an hour.

Split the difference:
- Americans are gun-happy @rseholes
- Britons are weird @rseholes

Sounds like a fair assumption.

Maybe, but where are the Britons? The last time I was in London I saw Arabs, Pakistanis, Indians, Swahilis ..... The list goes on and on. There was a single fella in a bowler with a brollie - obviously a civil servant. And nowhere did I hear the Queen's English spoken.

They were all in Rome, when I was there a few weeks back.
But now I'm wondering where all the Italians have gone.

Yeah. I can ask the same question about the whereabouts of New Yorkers!

I appear to work with them, try Chippenham...

There used to be a great chippie in Chippenham (the irony only just struck me!), round the back on the south side not far from the Virgin club.

I'll give you a clue, it has something to do with the initials RB!

The first copy of Tubular Bells that I bought didn't have a hole in the middle.

+5 for the biggest leap in context I've seen in a while!
I used to have a t-shirt with an image of dog poop mimicking the Tubular Bells cover captioned "Tubular Smells"!

Quote: south side not far from the Virgin club. That club is still there dodgy name and all. I must confess to just getting off the train & getting on haven't really had the chance for a look around yet. I am working out at Bumpers Farm.

The club used to be one of my customers when I was in the booze business (as did the one in Bristol) Mind you, that was a lifetime ago (late 80s)!

But were you in Bristol?
Talking of Bristol, I lived there 14 years and I really don't think it's representative of Brits. Apart from anything they keep sticking Ls where they don't belong. I told my son that if he ever came home from school and said "That's a good ideal", he was out.

Sadly no, I have never been to Bristol. However, I am no Henry Higgins and I should avoid commenting on the way others speak English.

Henry Higgins be damned, if there's no L, then there's no L!
Even the place name used to be Bristowe; even Somersetonians don't do that. I think excess Welsh Ls (that have lots of them) have been slipping across the Severn estuary for centuries.

Your second name wouldn't be Llewellyn, would it?
|
|
|
|
|
No, but it is David, so I might have a Welsh connection. I do spell it David and not Taffyd (they love their Fs too!), but I'm pretty sure there's no Hebrew influence in my family tree.
Maybe you're thinking of Lloyd Llewellyn from Llangollen?
