I can go on about the late '50s and'60s of you want ?

Jesus H Christ
I've just had the most fantastic dream...I think I'm still in it, That's the best Q and A I've heard on DCFC since...well never 

With an English accent you can tell them anything and they will believe you. Where I worked a woman used to call the office just to hear me talk. I love them bits though, so much so I became one in 2010. I have two nice shiny passports now. I love pissing off TSA and customs both sides of the Atlantic. I was once asked at Manchester airport how long I would be in the states for. As long as I want, I said. No you won't, you can only stay (3 months I think it was) he said. Nope pretty sure I can stay longer, I replied. Now he was getting annoyed. As a British citizen you cannot stay as long as you want. Ok then, I got my US passport out, put it on the counter and told him I would travel on this one then. Cue red face and muttering about smart arse wasting his time. Childish I know, but anything for a laugh.

I remember the person immediately in front of me having a heated exchange with a (female) official at the security checkpoint at Dublin airport 20 years ago. It was just after 9/11 and security was extremely tight, and people were anxious and agitated, the security staff included. The queue was being held up, but this chap was continuing his objection to I know not what. Shoes protocol, laptop, liquids - haven't a clue, but he ended up shouting and swearing - up until the time when two large security chaps came to escort him away.
When it was my turn to put my stuff through the x-ray machine, I turned to the (female) official who was by now extremely agitated and flustered, and said something along the lines of "Never argue with a security lady who is wearing rubber gloves".
Never been so relieved to see somebody laugh.

The majority of Americans I've met have been great, My humour at times fly's straight over their heads, But they give a polite smile.
An awkward time was in Barcelona when England were playing, In a bar off Las Rambles to watch the game as we didn't have tickets, Packed with English fans, A group of 10/12 young Americans come in get their beers and stand in front of the TV, We ask politely for them  to move, Which they did, But kept creeping to where they were, All fans getting pi$$ed off, I ask politely for them to move again, I then get a volley of verbal's from one of the females, She was told to duck off, Then the biggest of the males who was taller than me told me to duck off, At that point the rather larger group I was with all stood up and pointed to the door with their reply...they did and leaving their drinks.
A good job there was back up...or I might have had some of the red stuff coming from my mush.   

Not that many "wetbacks" ? in Missouri. A few working the farms around Joplin. Now southern Texas is another matter. ?

Why would you choose to be Spanish?

I was once in NewYork looking at the early morning skyline from a famous viewpoint. 2 American ladies asked me which was the Empire State Building. It was so obvious. I said “the one with the gorilla hanging off the roof” they said “wow where”… just about sums up the average american

Yep, we all live in London which is, as most Americans think, England. I lived in Missouri where my wife is from, now she is well traveled. She has also lived all over the US, Japan and Korea and I met some people she went to school with. One had been out of the country to Mexico, one had been out of Missouri once to Arizona and couple had never left the state. The daughter of some friends once asked my daughter if we had Christmas in England. They are mostly really nice friendly people, but so insular.
 

Having lived in the US for 20 years I noticed that American kids act a lot younger than their UK counter parts. You see 18/19 year olds behaving like they're 13, and 30 year olds acting like 18/19 year olds. My daughter went to high school in the states and was more, adult is the only word I can use, than anyone in her class and even some of the seniors who were 2 years older than her. 

Lonnie Donegan must be spinning in his grave.  ?

Get your torches and pitchforks here. Let's hound Kirchner out and go into liquidation, because, and you better believe this. no ducker else is going to come charging in at the last moment.and save DCFC. Still all the holier than thou brigade will be happy then. I will not be answering any comments on this as I don't give a flying duck.
 

You missed the ending of that quote. "Mother, put down that brick."

Great news we finally get a PB.  But why is it I still get wound up by the pathetic comms from the EFL.....
"...the EFL has been focused on ensuring that there is a long-term future for the Club."   Really? Love to see how.
"Now that the League has been advised of the preferred bidder status by the Administrators, we await details of the formal proposals and once in receipt, these will be reviewed in line with EFL requirements..."  Why do you have to say "now"? You're like a spoilt child.  Keep it factual.  "Following notification by the admins of the PB.....".  And how long will your review take?  Long enough to see us down with further points deductions and player losses?
"This process will allow us to understand what hurdles may still need to be overcome before matters can move forward......" Sorry?  After nearly 2 years you still don't understand the hurdles? Maybe read this thread - you'll possibly learn a thing or two.
