Our American cousins have been celebrating their so-called

Had they but known, the probability is that they would now be part of

Yes, it was a BIG MISTAKE!
So why don't they now admit it?

Come, come! The progress of American freedom
and right thinking is inexorable. Resistance
is futile. Why ten years ago in what we then
knew as the "twentieth century", our mystically
adorned American dollar was trading at $0.98
to the "Euro". And now? Up around $1.40,
thank you very much.
The Brits are jealous of our English units of
measure, to boot, because English is our
national language, dontcha know...

Heh, foreign PALs may _feel_ superior to
good ol' NTSC, but I gotta tell you,
Google Groups is supplying me right now
with Sponsored Links to convert those
foreign PALs! "Fast and Easy," which
I think involves circuit-boarding.

Well, I did, after the time Probo usually has. He must have slept in
yesterday, trying to avoid recognition that it was Independence Day,
for the obvious reason that for Brits it is still an affront to their
expansionist colonial egos - right up there with Afghanistan, that
ran them out twice.
And, indeed, PAL is better that NTSC (Wikipedia: bacronym "Never
Twice the Same Color"), but after that, everything else mentioned that
can be enjoyed on TV, except NHS and the likes. Could have mention
European trains, however, though there is something nice and nostalgic
about the ones in the US.
And, the US has the best women tennis players. (Okay, you can argue
of one family justifies that generalization [and it has the better
spelling]).

!"I now wonder why,
if the US is so good, some of its supporters choose to live in
Europe? "
In order of importance: better beer, faster women (back decades ago),
and also back then, 20% salary supplement for the rigors of living
overseas (no orange juice, Kellogg's products, etc., for all of
which, German beer is a more than adequate substitute - not for
breakfast).
Well, the beer ist still better, the other factors no longer apply.
I hope you have recovered from your madness. I understood that in
English (yours) that meant one was a little "bonkers".
Give us an easy clue from the crossword.
Prost, Myo

I was in London yesterday and was amazed by how many people were
celebrating 4th July. Don't they realize that "we" were on the losing
side of that one?
Regards,
Roger
PS: I don't recommend boasting too loudly about PAL, considering that
it is being switched off. PAL broadcasting ends in November 2009 in
the North West of England, and has already ceased in parts of Wales.
It will soon all be DVB-T ("Freeview") which of course is better than
both PAL and NeverTwiceSameColor.
"I was in London yesterday and was amazed by how many people were
celebrating 4th July."
See! That's what happens from all the EU hoopla. People lose their
national identity and character and will just whoop it up with anyone
and even at the enemy's victory celebration, liking to feel like they
be on the winning side. Why root for xxx when you can cheer ManU to
victory?
(I know, "our" victory came after the Declaration of Independence,
and had to go into a second round several years later. Was it here
that someone pointed out different nations' names for the wars 1812 to
1815? Might be topic for Quezi .)
