    Currently, we seem to be adopting a rather more aggresive approach to the way we treat disorder abroad. In the past, we only got involved if we needed to. Now we get involved at the drop of a hat. What's your take on our rediscovered sense of ruthlessness? Is it a good idea for us to (possibly) compound others problems further, or should we take a back seat, and let others lead the charge? I'm not putting a poll for this, as i'm more interested in your views.

    The UK is the USA's lapdog. We just follow blindly without challenge.

    What gets me is that our "friendship" with the US is referred to as a "Special Relationship". What's special about it, we gain no real benefit from following them on their middle eastern misadventures.

    Surely, a "fiver" doesn't have to mean Pound Sterling though?

    The Krauts and Frogs don't know how to please a woman either

    Americans can't be counted because they are too fat and stupid

    The worst thing i've heard was an american call pounds sterling "quid". It doesn't work with an american accent, it's like if we refer to Dollars as "bucks", it just sounds ridiculous.
