    Deduct 3 points from BRITS score for even CLAIMING Jan H as one of their own!

    Silly, of course we still declare war! (Think of Iraq)

    I'd suggest that the next time you're visiting our great capital city of Washington DC, you take a tour of ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY where the tour guide would be glad to explain to you, in three easy hours, why we 'never declared war on Vietnam,' and why although the cemetery is laid out in sections according to what war the soldiers died in, you'll still hear it called the Vietnam Conflict!

    Of course, I realize I have an unfair advantage when in comes to our Nation's History, since I was born in Washington DC. But Jan, I won't let it affect my feelings about you, don't worry!

    Other reasons we trounce our froot-loop cousins:
    1. We elect our officials, even if we argue about it!
    2. We don't have Sophie Rhys-Jones getting caught bad-mouthing the Royal Family. (God knows, George dub-yah is bad enough).
    3. We don't have Camilla Parker-Bowles committing adultery with Prince Charles while his gorgeous intelligent wife is raising his two sons!
    4. Come to think of it, we don't have Prince Charles! (That's worth two points.)

    Score
    USA=15
    UK=12 Oh take away 1 because Jan thinks he knows our nation's history but doesn't.
    UK=11

    Oh yeah, you guys have Logical. Your score is back to 0.

    USA=15
    UK=0

    THAT'S IT!

    LDH has gone too far! Trashing our royals!

    Launch Fergie at 'em again. That'll bring 'em whimpering to surrender!

    It's OK Expatbrit, I just realized our score was back to zero as well.

    Charles T. Russell was an American.

    I personally enjoyed Austin Powers 2, which i'm unsure about where to put the point. Austin Powers was British I think....UK+1. But the movie was a U.S. movie, U.S. + 1. And we could even keep the title as the spy who SHAGGED me. James Bond, same situation. US and UK + 1. But come on. I think we all know who makes the BEST movies ( the MATRIX, Forest Gump, the list goes on and on ) + 1. I'm no big music fan, but I believe the Beatles were from somewhere around there. UK + 1. As for an earlier comment, Rugby has nothing to do with strength or toughness. There is a difference between bravery and STUPIDITY. And FOOTBALL uses hands and an oblong ball; FUTBOL uses feet only. that's all for now.

    OK, now the gloves are coming off ...

    Most of us can find other countries on the world map.
    We know what the capital of our own country is.
    We know that Australia is not part of Europe
    Also, for anyone to be declared winner of any 2"world series" there must be at least one other country take part.

    Plus 5 for the UK

    However, we'd like to have our points allocated to Canada because we're moving there and want to be welcomed.

    LOL @ Simon.

    Yes, Angharad, I know about Princess Di. But I can't help living in the past in this one regard. One good look at Parker-Bowles and you'll know why!

    JanH,
    If I lived on an island I would probably be so bored, I would have to read history of others countries just for amusement as well
