Ah but you can be the bitter American queen, even if others are here trying to do the same.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

aww you will always been the Queen Kendra. we shall call you Miss 61p from now on.

just think... you can be smug and claim to be a trendsetter.

[kendra k]

i was cool before cool was cool.

who knows if other americans will really take here. i know how mean you brits can be.

[Walter Sobchak]

mean.... us????

To be honest, I have had quite a few dealings with visiting Americans (I had a contract to collect from Heathrow/Gatwick and Yeovil has always had many links with USA especially with aircraft / spaceflight components and helicopters, so meeting them was inevitable), and found them to mostly be decent people, but some really don't have a clue outside of the USA......

We all know USA is HUGE, but quite a few Americans think we live on a tiny island and therefore know everyone and everywhere.

A lot don't seem to understand the diveristy of our language, and if they come across, for instance, a geordie they think theyre from 'Europe'.

I'm sure they thought that the stones at Stonehenge were 1000 feet high and 2 miles round ... with remarks like "Gee, it is just soooo small".

and my absolute pet hate (said more than once on my visit to Chicago) "So, you're from London?" ....it is true that some Americans think England is a suburb of London, and the whole England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Great Britain, United Kingdom, Europe thing makes their heads explode!

BUT, in the interest of fair play I am reminded of a work colleague who said to me "I don't like Americans, they talk with an American accent" Yep, I did notice, that wherever in the USA people came from they ALWAYS had the same accent! NOT!
And the amount of people that say to me for instance ... "I won't go abroad, I like good English food, and they don't sell it in Foreign countries"

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

some people in this country need to understand the difference between England and Britain.

andy murray is the latest example.

my experience with americans is all good, just last week during my lunchbreak (one of those great hot days) one yank came up and asked if I could take a photo of him and his wife outside Ye Olde Trip in Notts, they were very polite and nice and even bought me a drink for my trouble, even though I already had one. Lovely people.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

were they not fat and arrogant and did they not shoot you with their handguns while taking over oil rich dictatorships?

[DemonHorse]

seeing as I don't own any oil, they didn't try to steal from me.... McQueen however is a different story....

[Quincy]

since when has mcqueen been an oil tycoon?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

i thought he was warning us that McQueen was a mugger.

hes evil that lad.

[DemonHorse]

not talking about oil theft, just image copyright theft (i.e using 1 off my website and altering it without permission).but there ya go, thats what kind of person he is, a thief.

[kendra k]

huh? drama? let me know!

[Mcqueen_]

Ahh. Again, you are factually incorrect DemonFrog.

Learn about Fair Use and parodies/satire.

Edit: For people not in private, posted this:

technically I haven't posted it on here either, someone else was .... 'kind' enough to do it. Would be funnier if it was an original idea but meh.

Of course there is also a copyright issue here as that was an original image McQueen the thief twat STOLE from my site and I never gave ANYBODY permission to reproduce any of the original stuff.... I'm not taking action against Moylesworld though, if I took any it would be against the 1 person named above (and no, I don't give a * how long he's been here etc).

Apparently it isn't an "orignal idea". Sounds like he gets his picture turned into the Crazy Frog alot and has to take them to court.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

come on folks... get the avatar they all want so it can be number 1 in the avatar parade.

<-------------bandwagon this way

[DemonHorse]

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I hate when people say copyright theft, there's no such thing. It's just a buzz phrase that lawyers use to get make it sound worse than it is.

In the common law, theft is usually defined as the unauthorised taking or use of someone else's property with the intent to permanently deprive the owner or the person with rightful possession of that property or its use.

This is theft. There has been no 'intent to permanently deprive the owner', so it is not theft. At best it is copyright infrigement, but as McQueen correctly stated, parody's and the like are protected under the law, although the 'Fair use' thing is complete BS, there is no such thing, although there should be.

[Fathomer]

ooooooooooo.....FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

[kendra k]
