Still have issues with Article V.

Im pretty sure i saw it in the british shop in st charles...

I did actually suggest to the irishman that runs the coffee shop down the road that his irish fry up was only missing the toast and the hp sauce... He goes into the fridge and fetches it... Guess he doesnt want the secret out...

I do say Jim, that would be rather a sticky wicket to do away with cricket, old boy. What would us chaps in the Antipodes do during the summer?

Mmmmm good with HP on it. No ketchup there. I was in Scotland this summer and found a B&B owner that even offered to make fried toast for me. With my family history of heart disease I had to refuse and just ate the normal big Scottish breakfast of eggs, ham, sausage, potato pancake,and mmm black pudding. HP is a delicious sauce and memory....

Fried toast? Fried bread surely... ?

Take a piece of proper bread (not the small stuff you get over here) butter it on both sides... Fry it until it's crispy...

I have actually been warning the colonials that im part of the advance boarding party for years... Well that and pointing out that the revolutionary war was actually a tactical withdrawl... based on the cost of upkeep and security vs benefit...

Surf, learn to play the didgeridoo, or paint like rolf harris? Depending on where you are in the country...

Surfed for 35 years, it is offensive to many indigenous Australians to play the didgeridoo if you are not of their culture, and Rolf Harris has done it better than I ever could. Also played baseball for 15 years. during our winter, but that was to help keep the eye in for cricket.

Nothing better than to sit in the "Members" at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day, to watch the start of an Ashes Test

This is an oldie but a goodie! I've seen this posted so many times.

And it's the strawberries that have to be in season, not the cream!

Didn't The Who write a song about that...?

Lest it be overlooked, Your Majesty, when one aquires a property, one also aquires the debts and leins incured against the property. As such you now owe 700 trillion (American) dollars in assorted debts not including previously agreed upon aid supplies to other countries. There is also the (not insignificant) matter of debt and upkeep for the individual states. We shall send our (too many) millions of lawyers and accountants for a meeting on this issue whenever is conveinient for you and begin to sort out the details.

Yours,

The Colonies et. al.
