Remember the show "The Weakest Link" ????????????????????????????
Remember the show "The Weakest Link???????????????????????" I bet this is what its hostess, a Britisher by the name of Anne Robinson would say, "George Dubya, I daresay your "moggie" (British for cat) is even smarter than you, you bloody "boobie," YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK, GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


By the way, boobie meaning no disrespect to female breasts, is probably a British expression or term meaning "lunatic," or "idiot," hence "boobie hatch" for an asylum for lunatics or feeble minded individuals.

6. And that Anne Robinson may be far less diplomatic than Tony Blair in
relation to the Shrub.

7. I wish
that Anne Robinson was running the 9/11 Commission.

There would be NO monkeshines there and
the sales of Depends would increase greatly in Washington DC.

8. How about that she were a naturalized American and that
naturalized Americans could also run for President, for she would have had Shrubya give new meaning to the term "running :scared:"

9. What
Valerie5555

As a Brit myself I have to ask, what are you wittering about?

Boobie? Boobie hatch?

I know Americans don't get out much and love to think we all spend our time huddled round tea pots saying 'cor blimey' but unfortunately life just ain't like Mary Poppins.

The reality is most of us are just as depressingly normal as the rest of the world. We did have manic female autobot running the island for a glitch period in the eighties but apart from that, it is a pretty regular place. No flat caps, no chimney sweeps dancing in the street and no living usage of the phrase "Boobie hatch".

Just for the record British is not a language. We speak English.

Britisher? Give me strength

11. WTF?
"Recently my family and I spent a week in London, which is a popular
foreign place to visit because they have learned to speak some English over there. Although frankly they have a long way to go. Often, when they get to the crucial part of a sentence, they'll realize that they don't know the correct words, so they'll just make some silly ones up. I had a lot of conversations that sounded like this:
ME: Excuse me. Could you tell us how to get to Buckingham Palace?
BRITISH PERSON: Right. You go down this street here, then you nip up the weckershams.
ME: We should nip up the weckershams?
BRITISH PERSON: Right. Then you take your first left, then you just pop 'round the gorn-and-scumbles, and, Jack's a doughnut, there you are!
ME: Jack's a DOUGHNUT?
BRITISH PERSON: Right."

-Dave Barry
