Nearly every post.
Most of my expat UK friends would probably concur with my comments.
Comments should not be confused as Anglophobia - plenty of people over there don't like it either - maybe you included.

The saddest part is that guys will fist fight over whose team is better, but sit passively by, glassy-eyed, while the Left rapes and pillages their heritage. True, but the 'my team' aspect has so pervaded the political process that the pep-rally mentality is prevailing in the political arena as well. It got Obama elected and will likely factor in this election as well.

I have played a bit of cricket and that ball is so hard that after 10-20 years of catching that thing I would’t be suprised if players can’t bend their fingers. It is the same thing, if not harder on the hands as an American baseball outfielder catching fly balls without gloves.

Where they hell did you read Bryson was a Brooklyn boy? Do you know anything about American accents? For God’s sake, he’s written at least two books about his Midwestern upbringing. Get with the program!

It would be more popular here if the networks figured out a way to sell ad time in a game with no time-outs. They are there to ‘sell soap’, after all. Natural game breaks in American football and baseball make them ideal for selling ad time.

Sorry, got it in my head it was Bill Bryson. So please ignore the usual vituperative posts I've sent you.

I googled, as I had never heard of him, and it came up New Jersey/Brooklyn.
The point is he isn’t a snotty Limey, but an American. Sate is rather by the point.
And you couldn’t even get the correct man, so back off, Ms Perfect.

LOL, just ignore the one I sent. Please lol.

I thought Norman Lear’s “All in the Family” TV show was a spinoff of the British series “Till Death Us Do Part.”
Come to think of it, the Maude character was originally seen on “All in the Family.” I think “Maude” the TV series was a spin-off of “All in the Family,” which made it’s debut here in the U.S. back in 1971.
The closing credits at the end of “All in the Family” mentioned that it was based on the British series “Till Death Us Do Part.”

The point is the writer is an American, I seem to be the only one that actually checked he wasn’t British.
