Charli Fritzner, women’s campaigns officer at the University’s student union, said: “If he views women as potential distractions in academia, I wonder how he views them in the workplace?"

If they f*** up his order at the drive-thru window as often as they f*** up mine, hopefully he'll view them as unemployed.

I would qualify both remarks with “a lot of”.

Yeh, the food is definitely gross. Except for Yorkshire Pudding. I especially like the glow-in-the-dark mashed peas/ s.

PS - We LOVE England.

She’s ugly, sir.
What do you mean, ugly?
As in, ‘not attractive to men’, sir.
That’s rather a matter of opinion...
Oh no, she’s ugly, sir.

I don’t know about British women but I do enjoy the BK Stuffed Steakhouse Burger. The one that has the jalapenos and cheddar cheese mixed into the meat. I could eat those for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

A few pictures of women from UK aren't going to prove or disprove anything. To really access the situation you would need to travel to both countries and spend time there. I've been to UK and found the women about the same as eastern seaboard of US stopping at Washington DC. The women south of the Potomac get a lot better looking. So it is in UK. In some areas, the women were attractive, others not so much.

I haven't been to Scandinavian countries, but a friend of mine has been there on a number of occasions (Norway & Sweden) and he says the women ARE better looking than UK. But I don't trust this guy even though he's my friend.

[MrEdd] Sorry, but I have been around the planet too. The best food is in New Orleans.

I agree...

Concurring bump. Galatoire's, steak bearnaise or steak marchand de vin, take your choice, then get back to us.

Or Arnaud's. Or Brennan's. Or Antoine's. Take your pick.

Vedi Napoli, e poi mori ..... but not until you've eaten in New Orleans.

If I were employed by Burger King, I wouldn’t be saying things about bad food. They’re the worst burger franchise out there.

***Read some British newspapers. The women are incredibly ugly.***

The only British newspaper I look at is Page 3 of the SUN and the STAR.8-)>

I grew up on English cooking (mom's). The secret is combinations -- pub grub plus bitter or stout. Like Japanese tea ceremonies -- the tea by itself is no big deal, and the little cookies suck. Until you consume them together. That's the concept.

And Yorkshire pudding with good roast beef (as in, American corn-fed beef) is good eating no matter where you're from. Just be careful with how you make the gravy, that's the make or break.

The veg? Other than the roast new potatoes .... Ehhhhh...... they're for the nutrition.
