The Right Honerable Gordon Brown has just made an important announcement re: the breaking of the cease-fire by Hamas firing rockets in the Middle east war.

Jester doesn't give a toss apparently and i just mentioned the war.

GB said "Yeah go Hamas Go"

No jester don't take things so seriously. It's a cultural reference that you as an american may not be aware of. We have a german friend who asked why people kept saying don't mention the war. We showed her this.

YouTube - Fawlty Towers | Germans

It's one of those phrases that has entered the english language, become a colloquialism and is instantly funny to anyone from the uk.

even the germans get the joke.

YouTube - top gear vs. dmotor (England vs. Germany) 1/3

this is how the germans saw it on dmotor

YouTube - D MOTOR vs. Top Gear (english subs) 1 of 5

Crikey we even keep reminding the french about waterloo

While we're being so sensitive I object to this constant derogatory racist portrayal of scots in American films.

YouTube - Austin Powers - The Best of Fat Bastard

YouTube - Robin Williams - Golf

Do we cry over the anti scottish lampoonery? Nope we know it's just envy on the part of those who are not scots but wish they were. Just think, if your ancestors hadn't emigrated you might have been european.

It could have been worse...... I could have attached 'Dead Loss Angeles' by The Stranglers.
