[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by troybetts</i> <br /><br />Capt <br />Hello my name is David, I live next dooor to Troy and have to put up with his trams and trains and Kids and stuff and the fact that he knows Nada about Rugby. May I first pull you up on the word "Bugger"? Itis not a "fowl" word but a "foul" word! But I'm Bugggered if I can think why! <br />You poor Colonists have forgotten the natural order of things. We have a Country with an immenese history, shires, counties, villages,hamlets,sokes etc are perfetctly normal to us, we understand, we can explain but do you have the patience to listen? <br />I Love TUSA full of the most generous people in the world, friendly and generous but only inTUSA, as tourists, they are the worlds worst, except for Brits Abroad. <br />Just as an aside can I mention that my local pub is older than your Country? <br />We do share a common history except in the taste of our beer, Sam Adams almost got it right, but Pete, with his Wicked Ale, was very close. Real Ale is what defines us as "civilised peop[le". Yo so bebede Cervaze (Vino)? Beuenes Nuevo Annos. <br />David Nolan, Next door to Troy <br />Happy New Year <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thank you for your reply, it is nice to meet you (at least in the electronic sense). Forgive my mis-stroke of the keyboard. I must admit that I normally take great care in writing these messages, I normally open them in a MSWord file first. This time I did it "off the cuff" with a baby on my knee. <br /> <br />To make it make for correctness I guess I could say that I meant to say that it is a word "for the birds."[:p] <br /> <br />I would be glad to hear about the political breakdown of the British countryside. As an histrorian I would be at a loss if I knew nothing about it. I depend on these forums for international ideas being that I am sheltered in the confines of South Texas. <br /> <br /><i>Yo soy uno que le gusta el ron, no tanto la cerveza pero tengo un lugar especial en mi corazon para vino.</i> <br /> <br />I really enjoy speaking with the Brits, Aussies, Great White Northerners and Kiwis that I would otherwise probably never meet outside of this forum. <br /> <br />Keep putting up with Troy's trams et al and Troy...KBO, Keep Buggering On? [:D] I'm not too sure what that means but I say it in my best regard. Later...eh. (with regards to Brian, the Great White Northerner!)[:D]
