I think I was born britz and mixed up with a yank baby, but I cannot prove it.

I can’t stand the queen, but I have to say a lot of people here worship the royal family. When I talk to brits they really don’t seem to care.

I don’t think the queen would go for Barrack. He gave her an iPod on a visit (full of his speechless) and I was thinking the old bat could easily afford an iPod on her own and was insulted he didn’t bring her something decent.

I don’t personally mind Harry. Saw the little ginger on a .50 in Afghanistan dropping some rounds while his brother sails on a boat. I hear we both like to drink and do stupid shit as well.

Now Queen. I like Queen. I miss them.

Brits get pissed (mad, not drunk) when I do speak of my favorite brit, but so be it. I have a ton of respect for Margaret Thatcher. She was a leader of courage. Like her good friend Ronald Reagan, perhaps not the most skilled leader, but she did what she felt was right. No one expected her to come here when he passed given her health, but when she did it was one of those moments you never forget.

Of course we know, I am impartial given my love of the entertainment the people of the UK have given me. Doctor Who, Shameless, Skins, Red Dwarf, etc, etc.

I am the only person in the US who owns all seasons of My Family on DVD. Ben Harper is in many ways Adric.

Oh Josue; with the trauma of beating on your grandparents, I am not going to hold that against you.

Unless they won.

As a proud Englishman, I can honestly say that I think the Queen is a little bit pointless. She costs me a blasted fortune in tax and she doesn't seem to do much…. Kylie on the other hand… she's pretty cool.

I have a suggestion… let's make Kylie the ceremonial head of state and we can send the Queen over to be Barack's advisor…. you guys seem to like her. You can pay for her

I am sitting in my Tardis going over the clip from the Christmas special during which we say goodbye to ten.

We have Life on Mars guy, mole girl, and Grandpa Simpson. Wait, Eggy is telling me that is The Master, Donna, and Donna’s dad (but she lies a lot).

I am actually looking forward to 11 now. I know he is young (God I hate young people) but I am going to give him a chance. Five was young and I love him now.

Max can be scary, but we normally save the Swedes for bikini roles or a Swedish Chef cameo.

Dolph was scary, but again he was acting like a scary country (USSR) since swedes scare less people than the brits.

I noticed that Swedes make spooky bad guys! What was the film where the guy needed to transplant a pair of eyes… "Minority Report" I think it was, OMG Peter Stormare can always play crazy! Max von Sydow (seen in the clip of the three brothers story from Äppelkriget) also happened to be in it too.. and Dolph, everyone loves to see him play the bad guy!
I recall that we watch Jurasic Park for Peter Stormare playing a German although cursing in Swedish when the dino stomps him dead. Peter Stomare also seen in a few other films playing a Russian on a space station, and a Swedish Mafia guy on rather weird film, I forgot the name of. Its so weird because he played Hamilton, Sweden's answer to James Bond!
Its kind of cool seeing the mood that was played out so well in that Kenneth Branagh version of Kurt Wallander, in spite of so many flaws, as admitted by a reviewer who was on one side really angry about the series in English, but at the same time, that feeling, that "Swedish Man" thing, he said, and I believe so too, captured in its pure essence. So blind to that which is in front of him, and yet trying his best to fix the flaw once he catches it, and that long lingering sadness when things don't work out…. yes, there you go, makes for a spooky bad guy as well.

Yes, we know where Kylie, Order of the British Empire is from. The brits push her since we ignore anything the aussies push on us until they bring Crocodile Dundee back.

Brits make horrible bad guys. When we do use one like Rickman in Die Hard we make them pretend they are German which is scary.
