"To Plump For"? by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #7 Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 09:32:23 AM EST

I do not understand this idiom.

I am from a small, unknown country in the north called Ca-na-da. We are a simple, grease-loving people who enjoy le weekend de ski.

You filthy foreigner.

Be nice to him. by ambrosen (4.00 / 1) #18 Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 10:08:58 AM EST

They still watch the trooping of the colour in his country.

Oh, maybe you don't approve of that.

Beg pardon? by DullTrev (4.00 / 1) #19 Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 10:13:39 AM EST

Yes, I do disapprove of the trooping of the colour, you monarchist buffoon.
Being nice to foreigners is exactly the opposite of what made Britain great.

Why Do You Hate Coronation Street? by CheeseburgerBrown (4.00 / 3) #22 Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 10:29:50 AM EST

Can I get that on a T-shirt? Or, for a slightly higher iron content -- on a baseball cap?

Eh. by ambrosen (4.00 / 4) #23 Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 10:52:08 AM EST

The only time I've ever watched any of trooping of the color was in the house of a Canadian friend, while taking the piss.

Look, we're on Hulver's site, and if Hulver doesn't choose to block out foreigners, we have to pretend to be nice to them. If you don't like it, go and start your own Prestel server on a BBC Model B like a proper Englishman.

Don't Dis The Queen of Canada by CheeseburgerBrown (2.00 / 0) #21 Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 10:27:27 AM EST

It's your business what the ho does in your land, but over here at the North Pole it's all lollipops and giggles.

The Americans get George Bush. Why should we be cheated out of our chance to adore a genetically inferior super-vedette for the glory of our modest jingoes?

Well, it's not the same. by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #24 Tue Jan 10, 2006 at 10:58:04 AM EST

Does she give you tax rebates? Does she take you to war? Does she fluff her words?

And 'eaasy' means simple, uncomplicated.

Although 'plump for' kind of means 'settle for', but in a more kind of relishing way, although more because the alternative is scary.
