We Brits aren't such a bad bunch....since I've been visiting FG I have gained a huge respect and love for our friends in the US. I have a lot of family in the States so I guess I'm biased....FG is a special place with special people...:-4

I'm sorry, but I did not like Bridget Jones at all. She has got to be the most immature 30-something that I have ever seen in my whole life. I'm a 30-something and I felt insulted by her.
Four weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill are classics for me, though.

notting hill bored you? thats almost a sin!! its fantastic! its quite long but if you can accpet the length then i think theres some very clever twists in it
its not a brit flick but its a romantic one and my fave and i still recommend everyone to see it is Serendipity, brilliant, pure sheer class of the highest sort!

Go Abbey, l am a fellow lover of The Full Monty.....
I cant help myself when they all start dancing in the dole que, l almost pee myself everytime.. And bless they in the beginning weren't sure what the full monty was!!
As mentioned also the fab bit in Notting Hill where spike poses and then examines his "nice firm buttocks" :yh_rotfl even my gran had a good old laugh at that..
Yep we Brits have some good movies, but l must admit Hugh Grant is just always the same bloke!
Very nice man though, met him at Heathrow, got an autograph and a chat!

thanks chonsi!

Lol Weeder! I was joking and meant 'send us Brits some money' or 'we Brits' if you like. But sure, send US money too, you can buy us all a bevy (that's a drink) down at Bothwells pub if you like.
And, by all means, come and stay. I can show you the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and take you to a little pub in the New Forest which happens to be Colin Firth's local, as he lives in a little village buried in the heart of the forest.

That sounds wonderful. I seriously am thinking of coming. Ive wanted to for many years. I dont like to be a tourist on trips. I try to stay like Im living in a place with the people who live there. Just get up everyday,wander around,talk to locals. If I make it Ill make a list of the posters from England, and try to meet a few. That would be fun.

We all love him lots, its just he wont keep taking his medication and it causes him to have temporary lapses of well....looniness and he starts stalking peoplein bothwells and comes out with all kinds of weird stuff to get a reaction. So keep on your toes..

Oh I love the idea behind this thread, nice idea Venus. I know that so many people in here face really tough times, so having other friendly people to support them through these tough times is brilliant, and is what makes the people in FG so special.
I personally am always happy to console anyone to the best of my knowledge and abilities. So if anyone is after a shoulder to cry on, I'm always here if need be!!
