What kind of British expat are you?

I'm keeping my laughter in check until I find out if these breasts are on the same woman or two different women. Both scenarios have different humourous aspects. I want to know which one to laugh at. Thanks.

I'd like to see you pull this 'surely' talk with WB. He'll know what to do with you.

The example he gave wasn't.

Which home is that? It's beautiful.

I used to help empty the bins in the offices

Polesden Lacey - Visitor information - National Trust

Thanks for the link. You're such a lucky bastard. There are just too many national trust properties to visit it seems ... I had the pleasure of playing the piano in many historic homes in England. And the gardens and landscaping. TOAC stated that England reminded him of New England in the USA. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'll never forget my first visit to Chatsworth ...

"Admire the lovely wisteria at Polesden this spring"

What a fucking tame place the UK is.

Middle class UK, that is.

---Update---

When it comes to everyday life, yeah, it's like New England. Of course the stately homes and the castles are extraordinary, but you typically don't see those every day.

Unfortunately, my reverie was not to last for longer than a minute before a coachload of drunken Brit whoremongers destroyed the 200 year old maze, trampled the begonias and began mindlessly chanting:

"Chatsworth House, we are are 'ere, shag your women and drink your beer."

I was disgusted to discover that these were the Duke of Devonshire's friends who had come for a typical alcoholic Brit 'party'

What a ridiculous snob you are. Hey, how about going down for a pick-up game of handball or paddleball since you're such a citified guy? Or is that too much city life for you?

Anna, is it necessary to misquote me? I thoroughly enjoyed Chatsworth and Haddon Hall ... don't add shit to my post that didn't happen.

**Anna Key** · 28th August 2012 21:39

I can't resist posting this. I'm a JR 'fan' (hate that word) and still love the utter silliness of the Modern Lovers. Dark silliness obviously.

Yes, it's called humour.

Yeah - he is a bit isn't he? Never thought of that before.

Weird thing about The Modern Lovers is that the British 'punk' scene (shorthand, sorry) really took to them in a big way. 'Roadrunner' was a bit of an anthem and then if you could get hold of some their stuff on an LP, the really dark poetic stuff was very...what we were about then (if that makes any sense?)
