Fuck me, if you lived here you'd be buttoning right to the top all the time too to keep the bastard miserable cold weather out.

I can't remember where I read it now, but there was an interview with Tim Roth where he said he ruined the first take of the scene when Michael Madsen starts dancing as Roth couldn't help laughing at the ridiculousness of it - and apparently he was corpsing through the later takes.  Not sure if you can see that in the…

Why?  Don't you have regional accents where you come from?

Ha!  Now you know how Brits feel about every fucking baddie in Hollywood movies for the last umpteen years being British (Alan Rickman started it in Die Hard - the list is SOOOOOO long now).  Okay, we get you might want to get a dig or seventy in about your once-overlords, but sheesh, give it a rest already.

Yes but it's new money, dahling, so very frightfully infra dig.

@ Morgendorfer: so says someone from a country that regularly loses its 't's on a monumental scale (innernational/innernet/godda go (no-one in the US actually pronounces it gotta, let alone got to).) Horses for courses, you say potato, I say potato, and all that.

But am I perve for liking watching Clive Owen grope his family in Close My Eyes?  Was I bad for getting just a little bit moist at the sight of Clive making the moves on his sister in that film, played by Saskia Reeves? Ooh la la, still does it for me, 20 years on.

No, they do not.  Maybe there's an Ireland-US hybridisation thing that passed us by, but we've always called it the little finger.

Wait - why would I NOT be serious?  Is it so hard for you to understand that Americanisms aren't understood the world over?  Get over yourself (to use an Americanism).

I probably shouldn't post this, but I just can't help myself:

I'm from the UK - what's a pinky?  Is it the same as a winky?  God I hope not.

Heheheh, he said 'prick'.  And 'bare'.  Heh heh.

No, just saying that why should Keith be surprised that a British programme chooses to locate a lot of its action in the UK?

"The Doctor, as it turns out, has landed in Britain—which he generally seems to do" Yes, and thank goodness he does - how many US shows ever bother to travel beyond their own shores? You probably don't realise in the US the state of the cultural imperialism your television has over here in the UK - it's impossible…

I can't believe no-one has commented on the PLANE - the massive huge presumably not-a-prop real World War 2 Lancaster Bomber or whatever it was - that was the most impressive bit to me.  The size of it!

Oh, the Chrissie Dr Who made me cry but then again
a) I'm a girl and
b) I've drunk rather a lot today and
c) anything to do with World War 2 has me tearing up in an instant.
Merry Christmas (or what's left of it over here - you Yankians have a while to go yet)  I'm off for a sloe gin or three.

My lovely horse
I want to hold you so tight
I want to rub my fingers through your tail
And love you all night

Oi!  I'm not yours to hand around like some dough-based pacifier.

I worked on a kid's summer camp in the US in 1988 and called one of the American counsellors a twat during a conversation (he was being a tit) and caused the most huge unintentional offence - bit of cross-cultural misunderstanding.  In the UK twat is used like 'knob' or 'prat' or 'berk' or idiot - it has the strength…

Brunch is Americanese.  We don't all speak it.
