Haggis on Burns Night is terrific.

You guys really do make I laff sometimes with the Brit-knock. Do you lie awake at night thinking this stuff up?
'You awake, dear?'
'Sure am, honey, just trying to think of a few more insulting comments I can make about them pesky Brits, y'know, maybe mentioning tea, bad teeth, stupid gun laws, driving on the wrong side of the road, cra*py cars, cra*py manners, cra*py little homes, cra*py most everything, right? Really makes me wonder why we have anything to do with them at all, hear what I'm sayin'?'
It's getting tiresome, folks, it really is.

Little touchy eh what? Get a sense of humor mate. We are buddies, in fact my family's from merry old England. My first car was a Healy 3000, I've had B's, XJ6's, Cortina's, etc. I raced Irish made formula fords with a "Kent" ford motor for 23 years. I think William Lyons and Colin Chapman were the greatest car designers ever. We have a Royal Treasurer in our family tree, and were granted tobacco farming land in (Queen) Maryland in the 1600's by the Crown. I just might be more english than you except for still bowing to the Queen thing.
That's why we can kid each other. But it didn't seem like your home boy in Yellowstone (a guest in our country at the time) was kidding. He's the one who made it about England vs the US, thus the reaction. If he's offended by a single open carry in Yellowstone then he might want to stay in the National Parks, it gets way wilder than that here!
We both have enough to be embarrassed about with our own country and leaders on a given day, let's us keep it easy and light. If you get over this way bring your shotty and we'll head out with my (English) setter for some pheasant or partridge. That's for real, I'll show you some American hospitality and the real west.
Mr. Hughes... The vast majority of Americans don't traipse around in Grizzly Bear country either.... dopey.
Oops... was that "not being excellent" of me?
Excellent enough for a Stomper, I'd say.Mr. Hughes... The vast majority of Americans don't traipse around in Grizzly Bear country either.... dopey.

Well I wouldn't rely on it!you have to rely on the kindness of strangers to protect your own life
I'm here because we are stuck here, and that's all I'm going to say except to note that our daughter is the anchor. If you had told me back in 1974, when we first arrived here on a three-year posting, that on 25th July 2019 I'd still be driving around this same spot, I would have dived headfirst into a wood chipper.
American's don't like being told what to do.
I think dear @tac just "spilled the beans" on the secret ingredient for making authentic English kidney pie!!
If I had my way, I'd dump all of them in NYC, blow the bridges, and wall off the place. Let them stew in their freedom-less bastion of .gov "heaven" and then laugh as they slowly realized (some of them) their mistake.
I disagree. Half of us don't, the other half is too stupid to realize if you ban everything that people believe is dangerous you will end up in a straight jacket looking at yourself in the mirror..Half do, half don't
The British view on firearms ownership is a cautionary tale for us. ...
If you look at the history of firearms regulation in England, the first "real" gun control laws they had were passed in 1920 due to fears of communism and the fighting in Ireland. ...
