Anyone's picture above Her Majesty is enough to have you taken outside and shot, as far as I'm concerned ! The only things that operate on gas are cookers and boilers ! Nothing wrong with miles..........f*** kilometres ! Moving on......... How many Canadians does it take to change a lightbulb ? 3 ! One to hold the bulb and two to turn the ladder ! Just to give us an idea of their mindset, if they go into a toilet, where one fella is already taking a pee, is it acceptable to stand at the urinal next to him ???? And finally...........supper at 5pm ? Oh dear...............and we wonder what happened to the Empire !!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I get asked that a lot. The default response is "are you from Australia?" I was asked by a conservative gentleman, yesterday, why I have a Union flag patch on my BA. I replied, "because I'm English." He went into a bit of a rant about how it was wrong because this is America, dammit. I told him that the state of Nevada couldn't get any quality employees so they had to hire in some cheap foreign imports. He was not impressed... 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the old timers are alright though. Spend a bit of time on the range with them and they're all offering to give you a reference to immigration! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
