Goodbye, Cruel Cellar

Or a mental midget. Or most recently, someone who is daft.

Whoa! What's with the Brit bashing? Better to be a mental midget who's daft AND British than a dumb giant who's paranoid AND American! Beware the mindbenders!

Criky, Tin man, nobody was bashing the Brits. You weren't following (or comprehending) the previous three posts to that reference. Besides it was made by a canadian, to boot.

Sorry xoxoxobruce, my sincerest apologies. You're quite correct. I failed to check the nationality of thrillhouse and speed read my way through the prior posts. Unfortunately, I'm using my Mac at work when I'm in the Cellar and have to dodge my boss when doing so which sometimes means I don't pay full attention to what I'm reading.

But, before reading those posts I had been on some other threads where I'd come across a couple of genuine sarcastic swipes at us Brits and my dander was up. Third time round it was a case of what you call 'three strikes and you're out' moment.

Besides, I thought the smiley, and the fact my riposte was so obviously crass and stereotypical of insults aimed at Americans, gave a clue that I wasn't being too overly sensitive about the comment. Friends?

Darling, you should hear what the (other) Brits say about us! It would make your hair curl!

But, still, friends.

Oooh, Brianna, you naughty Dirty Pirate Hooker, you! You can sit on my gangplank anytime!

And, capnhowdy, our British upper lip is not the only thing that's stiff!

Seriously tho, with the anniversary of 9/11 coming up I would like to express my heartfelt condolences and sympathy to all those affected by that horrific event. Since then we Brits have had 7/7 and still the madness and killing goes on. Let's hope we the people can bring some sanity to this world of pain because our leaders (hah!), of which ever side, seem incapable and incompetent at doing anything to resolve it.

Stay healthy, stay safe, stay sane.
