Illuminati-R-Us

I watched the moon landing in a holiday cottage in Durisdeer in Dumfries and Galloway. Some years later Neil Armstrong visited the village as it is claimed that is where his scottish ancesters lived. ETA: The BBC article refers to them as "Mr Armstrong, Mr Aldrin and Mr Collins". How odd. ...

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

And you you sail past North Berwick you are furth of the Firth of Forth. :D

Well he rode it out (in a manner of speaking) and didn't have to resign.

I'm not sure how happy Mrs M is these days.

I thought the US was who the "we" was supposed to be in your post. In any event, of the others that come to mind, only Heid has nuclear weapons, Halcyon Dayz and Arneb don't. We don't, the UK does. As soon as we fire the explosive bolts and drift off into the North Atlantic we'll be free ...

It's that benchmark thing again isn't it?

. . . but I laugh out loud at the end.

A hammer with explosives strapped to it.

Hey, you still see places up in the hills that look like what you would expect hillbillies to live in. Except for the satellite antena's. And hill people are very patriotic, as you drive through rural areas you see lot's of flags, Confederate mostly. There is a house I pass when I drive up to Mena,...

Some people didn't want a memrial to something negative? What an odd view.

No idea, so I'll guess:

ET?

You do realise that that isn't how people, even people friendly to the US, see you?

"Peter will sell us out to the Romans! Thomas is our leader . . ." I always liked those books.

I didn't want to name it as I'd just used another quote in the "Movie Quotes" thread. :D

Correct.

Changing the theme, as the Tour de France is on:

Character 1:Hey! Are you really gonna shave your legs?
Character 2: Certo! All the Italians do it.
Character 3: Ah. Some country. The women don't shave theirs.

It reminded me of a line in a film "Bring me American food, I want French fries!".

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen ?

In Venice I heard a US tourist say "Of course the only good restaurant is the Hard Rock Cafe." Most of the other US tourists in earshot winced.

From the Mitchell and Webb look:

Homeopathic A&E.

She seems to have got it together more now and is singing in the stage version of the tv show.

It is usual here that talent/reality shows put together a stge version which they tour for a month or two. These usually include the best/most popular/readily available acts.

The first item was ok, I forget what it was about. Then there was a diatribe about how universal health care like England's (sic) leads to poverty and being regularly sodomised by communists. (or something). Well, the other American news networks will do something like that sometimes, but generally...

There will be a post-mortem today to determine which was the cause of death: A) Sunshine B) Moonlight C) Good Times D) Boogie Michael Jackson died of shock after finding out Boyz II Men was a band not a delivery service. Jockeys at tomorrow's race meetings will wear black armbands out of respect for...
