Oh, for a wicked alternate recap check out BBC's Blackadder (esp. series 2. You'll wet yourself! -it's dead funny).
All Ogle, No Cash -- It's Not Just Annoying, It's Un-American
Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

They will also come in useful if you ever want to make an authoritative statement about either.
Hell no!
Then may I suggest you avoid authoritative statements in the future?
Did I sound authoritative? t winces slightly
Go high school history (and 4 year honours degree)
Edited to replace "preens" with "winces".

Try again, this time reading for comprehension.
Zoe, you're treading on my last nerve, as a Buffista citizen. Please stop being obnoxious, or GO AWAY.

Um, Zoe, you were wrong.
And there's nothing wrong with that - happens to us all. But I don't understand why you're so upset that people politely pointed out the true situation.
DNFTEC.
Yo.
It's Ok, but we all are friends here. Or are trying to be, anyway.If you are going to misunderstand something, you couldn't be corrected by a nicer group of people. But that is why I rarely post on political matters, because there are issues that affect me so emotionally that I'm not able to express myself as clearly as I would like.I don't know how editorial writers do it.
However when I am speaking about my own viewpoint of my own history in my own country it is only polite to let me finish. I would never lecture you on finer points of American history, society or governance, please show me the same respect.
For the record, it's history, not current events, so your location alone doesn't give you an inside track. Probably more of us than not have ancestors from the British Isles. That you live there now, makes you no more capable of learning or restating British history than we (see previous posts for practical examples). Jim lives there as does UTTAD. The non-Scots 1/4 of me is English, Welsh and Irish. Doesn't mean I was born knowing anything more about the British Isles than anyone else in the world. History is a course of study, not the eye color gene.
Finally, I didn't lecture you on any points of history. I spoke to you about your posting manner, which in this instance, strikes me personally as grating, and disruptive to a serious, and formerly interesting conversation. Given that I didn't lecture you on history, your final sentence in the paragraph I quoted at the outset of this post lends support to my previous statement about my feeling that you're not actually reading and discussing, but rather taking things out of context to argue.
It's un-Buffista-ly.
