Up until I was 10, I *devoutly* believed that Football = American Football.

Soccer = World Cup Football

Yeah, this is what happens when the only sport you experienced for many years at home was American Football, due to your mother and her boyfriend being American Football coaches for a local team.

The full phrase, atleast in my area is usually, "as sure as Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt."

Fanny being an old english name here...not what you filthy, filthy Americans use it for.

Filthy!
I used it as a shortened version of Fantasia, for an old dog of mine. What's so dirty about that?!

This is what I was planning to do, as a means of periodically exercising my French.

There are 4 things that the EU Community must bring with them to the NA Servers

  • Döner kebab
  • German Beer
  • English Breakfast
  • Birmingham Curry

That is all.

I'm pretty sure that eating an English Breakfast is considered attempted suicide in the US.

How can one go wrong with eggs, fried mushrooms and tomatoes and beans?

I think it's the bacon, sausage, black pudding, and fried bread that cause things to take a left turn.

I know this is a "feel good" thread but we have plenty of equal (better actually) beer here in the US. The Pacific Northwest and New England offer beer without compromise. I actually view German beer as 4th best in Europe.

Still... welcome!

No, shouldn't have to. The worst that will happen is I will expand out to the newly available servers so each has a team in them. Then I'll spend a few weeks playing nothing but those characters to "catch them up" to the pre-existing ones.

My infection will root in Europe, and slowly spread outwards. Soon everyone will be unable to play without spreadsheets... the guards at Buckingham palace will move their hands all the time in spasmodic twitches even while on duty... the Mimes of Paris (M.O.P.s for short) will remain trapped in the box forever because of the same twitching... Everyone will be unable to stop it... the jerky motion of hitting ALT-tab to check out some data on the spreadsheet before ALT-tabbing back to the game...

As in that they are made with real meat?

And black pudding is *LOVELY* though (although i guess that knowing what goes into it will turn the normal person off it).

Fried bread though, if done properly, isnt "dripping with fat" and more along the lines of "crispy" (lightly fry so that it goes brown, and then leave to stand on a piece of kitchen paper) whilst you serve up the rest of the meal.

*Side note: So who brings the left handed haggis? I think i have a right handed haggis in a witches hat somewhere around here*

Just watch the good times roll from that.
What a good idea!

French:
"Je suis un affreux Americain et je me moque éperdument de votre langue ridicule."

German:
"Ich bin ein hässlicher Amerikaner, und ich respektiere Ihre dumme Sprache nicht"

British:
"I am an ugly American and I do not care about your silly language, with all its extra 'o's, and its 's's instead of 'z's"

** all this said tongue firmly in cheek **

I warmly welcome the server list merge, hoping that all our servers will be enriched with more British humor, German engineering, and French food.

Part of me, however, does fear that we might instead get stuck with British food, German humor, and French engineering.

Actually the FULL English Breakfast is bacon, sausages, black pudding, fried egg, beans, mushroom, large tomato, hash brown, fried bread.

For the all day full English breakfast (sometimes it's used as a dinner replacement) add chips (or fries as you Americans call them) to that.

With a cup of tea to wash it all down with.

Only if I can get some Peanut Butter M&M's, some Bubbleyum (if it still exists), an In-and-Out Burger, and some S'mores.

(We can also provide Devon Cream Teas, Cornish Pasties, Fish and Chips, sunday roast dinners with yorkshire puddings, staple stodgy sweets like spotted dick and roly-polys, and more.)

ETA: I forgot Welsh cakes!
