you haven't lived until you...

Usually followed by "done this" "eaten this" "watched some movie" etc. It emphasises that so many people have doen it that it has become part of life. Of course, this is most convincing coming from a short fat woman with greasy hair who looks like she's seen every movie ever, eaten every food possible, yo-yo dieted all the time etc.

You haven't live until you've watched the godfather trilogy.

sup?

"What's up?", as in "how are you" or "what's on your mind?"

The pound against the dollar? The euro against the yen?

barbed wire

Steel wire in coils of a few inches to a foot that have twisted barbs of loose ends sticking out with the intent to harm anyone who attempts to cross it.

Das Boot

German for "The Boat"


A movie showing the other side of the war, not Americans doing what the British and French were blowing up/capturing before America's entry.


Documents the life on a U-Boat.

Buy the one with subtitles (Das Boot). The English-language (The Boat) dubbing isn't great.

wheelchair anarchist

(n.) A person, usually male between the ages of 25 and 50 (but often over 50) who believes the government is out to get him. Constantly complains, whines and makes false and slanderous comments about politicians, owns several firearms, and vehemently anti-nazi, and will blindly follow any cause to the death, unaware of the eventual consequences of thier cause prevailing (which they know it never will). Believes that thier lack of education and hatred for 'the rich' and 'the authorities' is compensated by thier age, experience, stubborn beliefs, "common sense", ignorance of past statistics (though they often manipulate facts and figures to suit thier cause) and the fact that they can convince children of thier beliefs. Schooled in any arguement by even teenagers who actually know what they are talking about, and are learnéd in the matter. When beaten in a debate by a much younger person, they will claim that the person has been 'reading too many magazine that are full of what THEY want you to hear', which basically means you are smarter than they are, but they will claim everything you said is a lie because you have attained it from an unreliable source.

The name is a reference to the fact they will claim to have practical experience, but it always seems to be so long ago (giving them an excuse for getting facts wrong).


Usually from a working class background, and often located in the north of england (although many still from the united states), and generally in the upper qaurtile of the age range. Adored by pseudo-intellectuals and poser anarchists alike. Likely to either be very athiest, or deeply christian. Openly homophobic or homosexual.

"If the government wants my guns, they can take my ammunition first" said the wheelchair anarchist before rolling off 100 more cliché catchphrases.

1066

The most important year in British history. After the death of Edward the confessor, three aristocracy of europe claimed the throne. Harold II had already taken the throne. His first opposition came from Viking warlord Harald Hadraada. The viking army was defeated without much hassle. William, duke of Normandy then came from France to the south coast. Harold II ploughed his army onto William's without rest. They made good time, but were exhausted. William used simple but effective maneuveres to kill off many thousands of English. Harold died during the battle, and William became William the conquerer. All monarchs since have been of his lineage. Also, there have been over 50 attempts to invade britain since that point, all of which have failed.

1066 sparked the Bayeax tapestry and the doomsday book

Land Down Under

Where women glow and men plunder


men at work

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
