Poll question: Are you an Anglophile?
And yes, I'm voting in defiance of my avatar AND my sig pic.

:P

2. Not really
I like the English as much as anyone else, but I can do without their royals. Why people are so fascinated by the royal family is beyond me.

3. Very definitely
Edited on Sat Feb-26-05 01:31 PM by khashka
Oh England, my Lionheart
I'm in your garden fading fast in your arms
The soldiers soften, the war is over
The air raid shelters are blooming clover
Flapping umbrellas in the lanes
My London Bridge in rain again

Oh England, my Lionheart
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park
You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames
That old river poet that never ever ends
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in
And keep the tower from tumbling

Oh England, my Lionheart
Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge
Give me one kiss in apple blossom
Give me one wish and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard my English rose
Or with my shepherd who'll bring me home.......


Khash.
well that about sums up my feelings.

5. You're mixing up the suffixes phobe and phile again
Like when you told me you were a "pedophobe", and then showed me your scrapbook. Remember how surprised I looked?

7. I thought that bar was too high for me to comprehend
Let alone go over.

8. And you're but a yong lad.
By the time you're my age, you'll also be robbing the grave for lovers.

Except, unlike me, you'll be doing it literally.
