Indeed, happy Independence Day to those of us in the US.

Bah, it's like when you get in a fight with another guy and become best friends once you beat the crap outta each other.

lol, nice analogy.

I like to think of England now as the kid who hangs around with the bigger kid so he won't get picked on by all the other kids (of course, not an accurate analogy of the relationship between the US and UK, but I think it's a fun one). We used to be the big kid who used to steal everybody's lunch money, then all the other kids decided to beat us up and now we're not so big any more.


[edit]
I was waiting until somebody posted reference to the film, I've done it twice today, so I decided to hold restraint here.


Anyway, I hope all have a good Independence Day, obviously we don't celebrate it here, though when my dad was in the airforce and I was a kid, we did go to the American Airbase up the road to join in the celebration and it was pretty awesome (plenty of fireworks).

Well, all I can say is curse you, you filthy filthy colonists.

It's not 4th of July here anymore but if it make any difference I did get out an American flag today and waved it around a bit. Very jealous of your fireworks and your food and your parties. Hope you guys all had/are having/will have a good independence day

Now go and wash.

Just what we did yesterday. Took a drive to the Navy base down south and hung out at the Air Force detachment there right next to where they were lighting off the show for the city. Good BBQ (not grilling) and food. Military stuffing themselves with food was paid for by fundraising if any of y'all here in the US were concerned about gov't funds being used for it

Haha. I had to after last night. In addition to being a filthy colonist, I stunk like dogs after being around them all evening. I'm sure to you Brits us colonists smell like dirty dogs anyway
