    I'm in a good mood today (I had root beer -- it always makes me happy), so I wanted to celebrating the "best" things -

    The best things to come here from England (as seen by an American):
    1. Eric Clapton's guitar playing
    2. Elton John's piano playing
    3. Emma Thompson's acting
    4. "Laurence of Arabia" (my dad's favorite movie by a long shot) and "Chariots of Fire" (a movie we all enjoyed greatly)
    5. Newcastle Brown Ale
    6. MAP -- duh!

    Stan O'Kella Hmmmmmmmmmmm?


    Its a lot nicer on tap than out of the bottle!!

    Cant really agree with the Emma Thompson acting thing, she aint no Dame Judy Dench is she! Old slow hand is class and Elton can tinkle the odd ivory, but what about four weddings and a funeral, surely a much better example of a british film.

    MAP is not English? I told my wife it's English.
    Where's it from?
    (Please let it be Scotland. Please let it be Scotland. Please let it be Scotland.)

    That too was a good movie.

    It's pretty global now but originally - yes, Scotland :eek:

    In fact if you take the current 3 owners of MAP we have...

    One Scotsman living in Scotland
    One Englishman living in England
    One Englishman living in Scotland

    Make of that what you will :D
