Some piously affirm: "The truth is such and such. I know! I see!"
And hold that everything depends upon having the “right” religion.
But when one really knows, one has no need of religion. - Mahavyuha Sutra

Good luck wit dat.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Hmm... He drinks a lot, though he no Newcastle stuff. He puts a lot of his money into importing Guiness. He is a large man who makes his money on manual labour, but sadly, he is no Scandanavian. No red hair, no blonde hair, no blue eyes. I guess he is close, but no a Geordie.

I learnt british english in school. And I'm still learning. But almost every movie is in the american english-style. So I speak a sort of mix between them both.
