Here's a list of four things that you americans won't understand so anyone besides me whose from the UK won't feel left out here.

Marmite
Branston Pickle
Steak and kidney pud
Bloody 'ell, that ole bloke norman from down the road just fell down the apples and pears while he was havin' a fag and still managed to grab the dog and bone and hit 999 in time.  I say what what.  Hmm, what a disgusting mix of queen's and cockney english that was.

And such.  I feel better now.

[DomanickX]

Thats that secret, now slang, code the brits use isn't it? Like off the 3rd Austin Powers movie, right?

[DomanickX]

Yep When I talk to people I know I speak in a redneck accent

[MagicParakeet]

I heard a rumor that ABC I beleive will be making a TV show based off the cavemen. What the hell.

EDIT: It's a fact. Coming to ABC tuesdays at 8:00. Here's a clip. http://abc.go.com/fallpreview/cavemen/index?u=0

I've seen the geico commericials in Canada. I liked the Speed Racer one. The Gecko is pimp.

[Trakkadon]

[JezMM]

Darn, last time I ask my parents for more ideas of exclusive britishy things... though go you, that stuff is good eatin'.

Oh no, even the majority of us brits didn't understand what they were talking about at some points in that conversation.  Only some points mind you, the majority we did understand, which made the formally written translation all the more hilarious for us.

[DomanickX]

Wait you are a brit?

[MagicParakeet]

If you look on the "Getting to know your thread" thread you would see she is british and Charlie is Australian and Murifex is German and guitarhero is canadian.

[DomanickX]

And I am a red neck!!

WE HAVE THEM ALL!

[JezMM]

I love the way that having a female character in one's avatar makes so many people assume you're female, hehe.

[MagicParakeet]

Does that mean you're a guy? My world is spinning out of control

[DomanickX]

It is very funny

[MagicParakeet]

you laughing at my insanity? l;df;kdsflksudivmkeierudkmvck nanu nanu?

[DomanickX]

HEY! LISTEN!

[MagicParakeet]

Oh god no! That is one of the most annoying things in the history of games.

[DomanickX]

hmmm..

Stupid fairy

[JezMM]

Yeah, I'm male, lol.

[DomanickX]

Actually, Chris is wrong. We don't have any Branston Pickle anymore. I ate it all and have to find it in a specialty shop again or something.

When I was in your neck of the woods I ate a lot of cheese sandwiches and had NO idea what that especially yummy brown stuff was.

In general I tend to like a lot of Brit stuff... food, culture, slang, humor. Chris and I both love a lot of your TV shows too. 

[DomanickX]

YOU ATE HIM?!?!!?

YOU TERRIBLE PERSON!

Ever had a ploughman's sandwhich?  That's like cheese and pickle to the max or something.  I had a minor addiction to those for a while.

Hehe, we love loads of your stuff too.  Most of my fave TV shows are american.  (Scrubs and Lost, ah bliss).  I've noticed actually that the funniest american things are often the ones which have had some vague british influence somewhere, guess Biff holds true to that then.  =D  Having said this, us guys seem to be awful at writing sitcoms.  We barely push out 8 episodes a season and rarely have more than 3 or 4 seasons, you lot just churn em out like nobody's business though.  Not that I'm complaining, hehe.

[DomanickX]

but the british comedy is not all that great

but we have one too many sitcoms
