I think i might have brain disease... (1 Viewer)

[stratus51]

Lately instead of using my electric toothbrush to brush around inside my mouth i've noticed i hold the brush static and move my mouth around the brush which includes shaking my head side to side violently. Could this be brain disease or is it just british humour spelt correctly with a 'u' ?

I think it has more to do with the Brits unfamiliarity with any kind of tooth brush, let alone an electric one, than brain disease.

U just mad cuz I correct u Amer'can spellings!

You know , I'd never heard about this "Brits have bad teeth" crap until I was watching something on TV that showed Austin powers bad teeth and explained why he had them. It was news to me @ 35 years old. But you know it's ok. When it comes to Anglo-American rivalry I think we give more than we get....

It was just a softball lob of a setup, I couldn't resist. I even set my super sized big mac and amerifat cola down to type it, my flag got wrapped in my gun though as I did and I dropped it out of my jacked up hummer. Merica'. :

I honestly don't really get the stereotype either, but for some reason I thought it was from your side of the pond that the joke originated. I had always thought of it as a monty python type skit where it would have originated, don't know why I just did.

You forgot to add friendly fire incidents in our jointly justified wars...

Now back to chip talk to see what john boy has replied to my working out that he's the same guy... Popcorn at the ready

Late to the game. Nothing more fun than trading humour with a English expat, Saudi and Bahrain are loaded with them. I remember my very first encounter with a sufficiently lubricated English gentlemen at Murphy's Irish pub in Manama, Bahrain. I was happy to get my first real beer since moving to Saudi. I walked in, had a seat, and asked for a Guinness. "Sorry we just finished the last keg sir." "Well I guess I'll have a Heineken then." Across the bar the old chap said to the lady, "Dear Lord, get him some proper beer!..we have Newcastle on tap, and put them all on my check." He then went on to state, "Outrageous, you call yourself an English pub and you run out of Guinness?" "Come here boy, let me introduce you to Mackeson's." Still don't know if he was 100% serious, too shitfaced to know where he was or both. Damn funny guy.

...I just shut up, drank my free Newcastle & Mackeson's and didn't enter into the discussion that we were in an Irish pub!!!! All I remember is him going on with funny stories about growing up in Blackpool. Too drunk to remember all those details.

Mackeson's is the absolute stone cold nuts for English beer IMO. He did not suggest I try the canned spotted dick either.

I can't say I know Mackeson's strangely although the name does ring a bell. Heineken actually isn't a bad beer. There are far worse. If you ever see carling black label stay well clear. It's what I call rats piss. Also Stella Artois is very popular in the UK, also know as wife beater for some reason, not much better than carling imho.

Speaking of John Boy....

Makin crazy whacked out posts was the start of his downfall, lol.

 

[stratus51]

Yes but moments of (my) stupidity are alcohol laden. From what I gather he was just plain stupid

Because after a night on Stella's you head home to beat the wife. (Story from my brother who spent some time in England)

That's why I drink ginger beer, when I come home at 2am all I want to do is tickle her!
