It's called English! :)

Is there a reason why americans have taken the letter 'U' out of colour and turned recognise into recognize, I've never heard an explanation.

we took English from you and made the naturally upgrades to it. We took the U out because it was silent and silent. We turn s's to z's because it could and we also don't pronounce every letter of a word if we don't need to like schedule.

Now you tell me -- my London plan was to go to a pub and make fun of everyone. I guess I'll have to rethink that.

Oh, and can I just say: thank goodness for incompetent terrorists. Hopefully the rest of them manage to accidentally blow themselves to smithereens before they leave the house.

The best thing about Britain is our whimsical incompetence, we can't even organise terrorism properly...

Oh, and Molina, that description of Strongbow made me laugh out loud - so true! That stuff makes me gag... a proper pint of ale anytime!

And cricket was invented about two centuries before baseball ya ignorant yanks :wink: baseball's based on a combination of rounders (girl's sport) and some native american game, isn't it?

Oh, and as Australia seem to be walloping us, looks like the game is going to only last a maximum of 3 of the possible 5 days :wink: darn...
