Jessamy Socks it to 'em! on ChiswickW4

Posted by: Jessamy SanbelloDate/Time: 02/12/05 15:13:00 Only in Britain... ...can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. ...do Supermarkets make the sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. ...do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a DIET coke (actually, I think this one is pretty universal). ...do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters. ...do we use the word "politics" to describe the process of Government. "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures." ...do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and put our junk in the garage. ...do we buy hot dogs in packs of ten and buns in packs of eight. ...do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place. ...are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink. Posted by: Will WatsonDate/Time: 02/12/05 23:17:00 Are you sure this isn't "Only In the USA" just retitled.I don't think anyone (except ex-pat septics) in Britain buy hot dogs & buns nor am I aware of any particular difficulty getting an ambulance.How many skating rinks have parking outside never mind disabled parking?Must try harder. Posted by: Audrey WaltonDate/Time: 03/12/05 00:07:00 I agree with you Will, sounds just like USA! Posted by: Terri ScooperDate/Time: 02/12/05 23:29:00 ...are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rinkWhat's odd about that?  Disabled people skate too.I appreciate that you didn't write the above and just re-posted it but it is crap nonetheless.

Im just a Bunny Really...

Tamworth!!Knowing our luck thats just who we'd get!!

Colin Vaughan ● 7107d

Point taken Phil, no offence meant. I have to say that there are a few on Chiswick who appear to need a humour transplant or something, I gave up posting on that site ages ago.

The possibility of Chelsea at Griffin Park is mouth watering! I'd be there for the Bees, for sure.  ;-o)

Sorry Colin - it was a failed attempt at irony, some posters on W4 having acquired something of a reputation for scorning all things unChiswick when one attempts to post on their forum.There doesn't seem to be a lot between Brentford and Oldham judging from recent results, so it would appear to be 50/50 to make it to the next round.  Chelsea at home would be just fine, just keep us away from Tamworth.

Phil Andrews ● 7108d

Oh yes and by the way Phil, 'The Bees' just drew with Oldham. So we may possibly see Chelsea in the 3rd round? What could be more about Brentford than that!!!!!

Colin Vaughan ● 7108d

Gerry!! 'Smart Arses' in Chiswick W4 surely not, more like 'Soft wet anti American Liberals',and maybe a few Anarchists. By the way Phil, any Forum member is entitled to discuss the wider things of life sometimes , don't be so insular!

Colin Vaughan ● 7108d

Not a lot, Phil.  Guess David might know.  ;-o)

Gerry Tan ● 7108d

What has any of this got to do with Brentford?  :o)

Phil Andrews ● 7108d

Jessamy, ignore the acid comments in reply to your original posting on the Chiswick forum. You might add a further 'Only in Britain' item which could read:Only in Britain......is there such a pleasant suburb as Chiswick, populated by so many smart arses.
