how about that boxing day test match

[Jiro]

All out for under a hundred. Man I don't think anyone has sucked this bad. But I don't even watch cricket so I don't really care, you guys can have the ashes. I'll still pretend to be angry that you whipped our asses or something. The best team is gonna win and then Australia's going to be all butthurt and blame and bitch and complain while the English gloat like mothersmurfers and I'm just going to be sitting in my relaxing chair having a couple drinks not giving a . Because that's how I roll.

[Pheesh]

Yeah...but at least we drink our beer cold. You sick smurfs.

pretty sure everybody everywhere does this. It reminds me of something my old History teacher said. He and some other students went to visit Russia during the Cold War to see other students there, and the Russians were absolutely convinced Britain was filled with workhouses where the poor were sent to prison for being, well, poor. Britain hadn't had these for well over a hundred years. It was just propaganda to convince them the USSR's silly commie ideals were kickin' rad. Likewise, I think this cold beer thing is propaganda to make you Australians feel better about being inferior to all other nations (besides the French, naturally) at all things.

[Pheesh]

Know your stereotypes.

[Psychotic]

Stereotypes are usually based in truth. Tea drinkers with bad teeth? That's us! Warm beer? What the smurf are you darned convicts on about?

On second that, that sounds like the best place ever.

I don't have a problem with national stereotypes. They're often true about a significant percentage of the population.

I don't say I'm from America; I say I'm from California or Los Angeles. America is too big to have many stereotypes that would be accurate for people across the country. The only one I can think of is that we're independent and/or self-centered.

Me too. I only tell people I'm from New York. It's amazing to see how the expressions on people faces in the UK, when faced with my American accent, became much more pleasant when I said I was from New York.

I hate that all New Englander sterotypes depict Massholes. I hate massholes.

I had to look that up. I was totally thinking it was someone so fat their mass caused a black hole.

xD
Massholes = people from Massachusetts
People from the mid west are flatlanders

Can I just go be un-American overseas?

I've heard for years that you people complain that we drink our beer too cold. I had just assumed you drank it less cold.

[Old Manus]

I think they're referencing the fact that they cannot comprehend the joys of real ale :manus:

[DK]

Would take a warm English beer over a cold bottle of whatever gutter filth the convicts are currently throwing down their necks tbh, easily the makers of the worst beer in the world.
