So if Obama is a British citizen

[XemaSab]

does that mean we all get national healthcare? :crazy:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Or at least witty comedy

and Dr. Who?

[stellanoir]

3. LOL

or bangers and mash . . . ?

:hug:

2. The Brits would love to claim him.

[myrna minx]

5. I'll put the kettle on, shall I?

:D

[cbayer]

7. Please do.

I don't think we can have this discussion until we have had a nice cup of tea.

:rofl:

[Milspec]

9. Then I shall knock you up when I'm in the neighborhood

[PBS Poll-435]

16. I think you've done it!!

You have single-handedly solved the GD: P "circular firing squad" problem!

Before you are allowed to post a message to GD: P, a warning message will come up and ask you if your post is British-"enough."

Politeness returns to the tubez!

[Autonomy]

6. Maybe we will get some decent rock bands playing n/t

[ashling]

8. Does that mean he is not the President,

he is the Prime Minister ... or the King? :shrug:

[Mz Pip]

10. Can John Cleese

be VP or maybe Secretary of Silly Walks?

[Number23]

12. As long as they keep British food IN Britain

... why not?? :)

America may be ready for national healthcare but it may take a while before we're on board with pickled eel/herring/Velveeta/God only knows.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

22. ...what? You are thinking of Britain, aren't you? Left of France and up a bit?

I've never come across a pickled eel. *Jellied* eel is a stereotypical British dish, but not one anyone actually eats.

Pickled herring isn't British cuisine at all - I think it's Scandinavian, possibly, or Dutch.

Velveeta is American, isn't it? Here in Britain, we have actual cheese (a jealously-guarded secret involving cows).

[Number23]

24. Good God, man. It was a joke!

I did a five second search on "pickled British food" and came up with 15 dozen recipes including pickled turnips, cabbage and other assorted goodies. I know that pickled eel is not a British snack but there is no shortage of pickling going on in Britain.

And yes, Velveeta is American. I think there is some cheese in there somewhere but it's jealously hidden by all of the Real Cheese #12 food coloring.

13. You'll all get a nice cuppa tea anyway

And you won't get any more French fries OR Freedom fries - they're chips!

Wouldn't mind a share in Obama, anyway!

[Forkboy]

14. No, but it does mean we can all say "cor blimey" on a regular basis.

Well, the rest of you can. I already do. :)

[SoxFan]

15. And free British dental care!

[EFerrari]

17. I'd settle for Doc Martin and some Cornish pasties. n/t

[depakid]

18. Oh Noes! Americans will have to watch teh cricket!

[Clio the Leo]

19. He better not bow to the Queen when she comes over! I know that! NT

[SKKY]

20. No, it means we'll all probably be having tea and eating burgers and fries with...

...HP Brown Sauce! :puke:

[tigereye]

21. oh, so now he's a Brit?

:crazy:


personally, I love the wiggy Brits.

[Aristus]

23. Ring me after the cricket match this avvie, and we'll piss off for a pint.

We'll be right as dodgers after we get outside of some Guinness. That'll be lovely...
