It may have only been a movie but there's still no way I'd ever walk through that area at night! I'd piss myself If I heard any kind of noise.

My favorite quote from the movie was the little english boy at the zoo:
"Mummy, a naked american man stole my balloons...."

I'd like to say something about the American TV ... the sitcoms at least.

Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Will & Grace, Frasier, Scrubs and of course The Simpsons along with Futurama and Family Guy... They all kick ass. Friends is on pretty much everyday over here and has been for as long as i can remember. At first i didnt mind it although i wasnt a huge fan... but like many things, when you see enough of it you start to develop a fondness for it cause it feels familiar. I am actually now quite a big Friends fan. Not the most macho thing in the world but i dont really give a shit about that lol.

Friends (and the others i named) are good fun shows and i often watch em in the morning

The final scene in the Porn theatre of American Werewolf in London was filmed in Picadilly Circus. But London council have since re-arranged Picadilly Cirucs and so it doesn't look the same as it did in the early 80s.

I remember walking past the door of that theatre though, everytime I went to London with my parents.

It's not that we don't remember, I just don't think we were ever exposed to his talents, whatever they may be...

Timmy Mallet and Magic I do remember though...

I have a few questions that I need answered. I'm not being rude....just curious:

Why don't you have air conditioning in the airport? Does anybody have it?

Why do you like your martini's shaken...not stirred?

Do you all agree that Baby Spice has gone from a "porker" to one hot piece of ass in recent years like we do?

Do you notice that breast implants are getting more popular over there...as they are here?

Do they have strip clubs on about every street....like they do in Texas?

How much is a typical lap dance? Do they have the 3 foot rule like in Florida?

What's the difference between a pound and a quid?

Do you think the mini cooper is a really cool car to own....like many american teenagers?

Is the stereotype that english people have bad teeth really true...or just an Austin Powers thing?

Do you guys think the Austin powers movies are funny...or insulting?

Do you actually stop working every afternoon at 2:00 for a spot of tea?

Is it really as rainy, damp, and foggy there as we think?

Do the bobbys carry guns?

Why do you call the police bobbys?

Why do you call trucks lorrys?

Why do you call evevators lifts?

Why does the queen have all the money, but no power to do anything?

Do you really take packs of 50 beagles and chase down a poor fox just for sport?

If London is drowning and you live by the river....is that a bad thing?

What does "Never mind the Bullocks" mean?

What does "If there's a bustle in your hedgegrow" mean? What the hell is a Hedgegrow?

What's a spring clean for the mayqueen?

Do people typically drop a lot a acid over there before they write songs?

How long does it take to ride in the chunnel over to Amsterdam?

Do the special task force police guys EVER negotiate with people holding hostages?

Does the I.R.A. still threaten the royals...or is that over?

What do you call "English muffins" over there?

What do you call "French toast"?

Just how friggin big is Elton John's house?

Why does "Boy" George call himself Boy?

Aside from Elton, Boy George, Rob Halford, Freddie Mercury, Pete Townsend, Mick and Bowie......are any more of your famous singers gay or Bi? Is that a trend?

What percentage of your paycheck do they keep as "tax"?

Why are guitars so expensive as compared to the states?

Are Marshall amps cheap to buy new over there?

And what the hell is a "Crumpet" anyway?

My wife has a $3000 dog that came from "Yorkshire". Where is that place and why are pets so expensive there?

Why is it that everyone from England is such a good guitar player?

hmm im really not sure ... Chris ? Mondy ?

Why do you like your martini's shaken...not stirred?
lol thats just a bong thing i believe

Do you all agree that Baby Spice has gone from a "porker" to one hot piece of ass in recent years like we do?
shes fairly attractive . have seen better.

Do you notice that breast implants are getting more popular over there...as they are here?
i think this is getting more popular everywhere ... unfortunately . they look horrible if you ask me

Do they have strip clubs on about every street....like they do in Texas?
theres a fair few . not on every street though lol

How much is a typical lap dance? Do they have the 3 foot rule like in Florida?
im not sure how much and im not sure about the 3 foot rule... Chris ? LOL

What's the difference between a pound and a quid?
there isn't any. a Quid is a slang term for 1 pound

Do you think the mini cooper is a really cool car to own....like many american teenagers?
i quite like the little mini's . the new ones are great cars too . but i dont know if i would want to own one.

Is the stereotype that english people have bad teeth really true...or just an Austin Powers thing?
its a horrible stereotype. plenty people in plenty countries have bad teeth and plenty have good teeth . but all the stars have great dentisized teeth and they are the ones you see on TV all the time . overall though i would say us Brits arent quite as shallow as in we dont care as much as you guys seem to lol . no offence though. personally i have a lovely set of knashers

Do you guys think the Austin powers movies are funny...or insulting?
i think they are awesome. Mike Myers if my memory serves me well actually found fame over here in childrends TV. i know for sure he loves the UK. in the first movie i believe he actualls pokes fun at the cowboy american guy. its rather discreet but its there if you know you are looking at it lol.

Do you actually stop working every afternoon at 2:00 for a spot of tea?
LOL i asume this is a joke. if you are serious . then no ... no we don't

Is it really as rainy, damp, and foggy there as we think?
depends. most of the time its a bit dull . but in my opinion it just makes us all appreciate more the nice days we have. the place i live is gorgeous in summer. truly . its all worth it . if i had sun all day every day i would get sick of it.

Do the bobbys carry guns?
some of them do.

Why do you call the police bobbys?
im not sure... its good though eh lol

Why do you call trucks lorrys?
because we do. to us they are lorries. to you they are trucks . who cares ? lol why do you call crisps chips ?

Why do you call evevators lifts?
because we have something else we call an elevator. an elevator here is like a moving staircase . you stand on a step and it is like a treadmill . they come in 2's side by side and one goes up the other goes down. lol. you have them there i believe but perhaps call em something else.

Why does the queen have all the money, but no power to do anything?
im not sure why she has no power anymore. maybe monarchs got too good at making bad decisions so the government took the power. technically she governs the government though ... in a way. not really though LOL. its good to have a heritage and history like that though.

Do you really take packs of 50 beagles and chase down a poor fox just for sport?
this annoys alot of brits. we had it banned recently. people who do this are country snobs and they see no problem with it. maybe if i resurrect a T-Rex and some velociraptors and chase THEM on their horses they might see what all the hububb is about and why alot of us hate it.

If London is drowning and you live by the river....is that a bad thing?
london is drowning ?

What does "Never mind the Bullocks" mean?
nothing important (doesnt literally mean THAT)

What does "If there's a bustle in your hedgegrow" mean? What the hell is a Hedgegrow?
a hedgrow is a hedge a row of it. its a plan/tree type thing alot of us have in our front gardens. if theres a bustle in it ... is some lyrics from a Zep tune and i dunno wtf they were talking about either .

What's a spring clean for the mayqueen?
lol ask a british led zep fan

Do people typically drop a lot a acid over there before they write songs?
i really dont know . but i dont think so. but again ... dont know . maybe they do lol.

How long does it take to ride in the chunnel over to Amsterdam?
dont know this either LOL not too long i dont think .

Do the special task force police guys EVER negotiate with people holding hostages?
of course. it isnt always in the news i would imagine cause people might all end up living in total fear. but it happens more often than most of us know i would say.

Does the I.R.A. still threaten the royals...or is that over?
im not really sure how you expect us to know this lol . they may do .. but it may not be public knowledge . you know what i mean ? . i'll let someone else answer

What do you call "English muffins" over there?
umm ... crumpets i think.

What do you call "French toast"?
french toast i think.... im honestly not. sure..

Just how friggin big is Elton John's house?
im afraid i (like most brits lol) havent been .i imagine its damn big though

Why does "Boy" George call himself Boy?
cause hes a retard

Aside from Elton, Boy George, Rob Halford, Freddie Mercury, Pete Townsend, Mick and Bowie......are any more of your famous singers gay or Bi? Is that a trend?
just trying to be interesting and get attention if you ask me . i cant think of anymore really famous ones.

What percentage of your paycheck do they keep as "tax"?
too much . cant give you a figure though.

Why are guitars so expensive as compared to the states?
hmm cause we have healthcare stuff. it evens itself out when you go into detail over it all. but im not 100% lol.

Are Marshall amps cheap to buy new over there?
fuck no . are they cheap to buy new anywhere at all ?

And what the hell is a "Crumpet" anyway?
English Muffin

My wife has a $3000 dog that came from "Yorkshire". Where is that place and why are pets so expensive there?

HAHA. yorkshire is north of england. not as north as me . but its classified as north . then again ... londoners classify birmingham as north and its fucking 4 hours south of me lol. they arent exspensive . she bought new shoes too and lied to you LOL jk. dunno.

Why is it that everyone from England is such a good guitar player?

because being british we are instilled with a whistful melancholy that gives us a deep sense of poetic sensualness. alot of us pretend we dont have it . but its there . british are potentially very romantic when the moment is right. and that helps with good guitar playing i think.

Didn't know it was a stereotype. However, we're not as obsessed about pearly white straight teeth as the Americans. It seems everyone who wants to make it big over in The States has to get perfect rows of dazzling teeth before they even think about it, a la Jon Bon Jovi's teeth...

You're asking about lyrics to a song written when they were fucked up on drugs, and you expect us to explain it ?



A hedgerow is a hedge, or small bush that was grown in lines to divide plots of land, i.e. fields when the fields were smaller. This used to give you that "patchwork" view of the countryside where there were lots of little field bordered off by these little lines - the hedgerows.

They aren't seen that often anymore as they went with the invention of combine harversters when farmers realised that they could get more use out of one huge fuck off field than lots of tiny little ones.

Still see them at the side of roads down country lanes though...
