Whooaa boy! Don't do it :P Put the crack pipe down and go to bed for a few hours :lol:

$35,000 for a computer... You could always donate the money to me and I'll quit work and start travelling tomorrow rather than waiting :P

$35,000 will last you a year if you are frugal. Maybe a few months if you have an expensive travel habit. Maybe a few weeks if you have an expensive crack habit! Maybe a few minutes if you have an expensive Techno fetish! :D

Ahh 'What Dreams May Come!'

I don't believe you actually bought that! Show us the receipt!

I could buy my computer ~40 times with that much money, haha!

Your joking right? Or are you serious? :? Maybe I am misinterpreting Brit humor. Case in point Monty Python tickled me but Faulty Towers perplexed me at times. Culture barrier I think, humor gets lost in translation sometimes even if its the same language. The Atlantic is a big pond I guess .

EDIT: Of course, I miss the point of joke here in states too. :P

Brit humor is way better than US humor. US humor is just thrown at you ten seconds before the punchline just in case you get confused when the punchline finally rolls in :lol: Brit humor is just nice, dry and true-to-life (usually) :P

So anyway, where's the receipt?! ;)

I agree with d11. It's like the Office. I loved it, but I thought Ricky Gervais made it, he's a legend. Supposedly the guy that plays David Brent in the American version is a great actor (he's in 40 year old virgin), but I just can't watch the US version of the show because it seems weird.

Back to topic, it wasn't a joke!

Yad, yada, yada, yawn,.. :roll: Lets throw our bravado out in the street why don't we. Humft what happened to 'English Downplaying?' You sound more like an American than a Brit, maybe from rural Texas were everything is bigger and better!

Opps, take it easy on me if you read this Texans! You know it's that way in some parts! :wink:

It's odd... half my family is British, no problem there... but I can't for the life of me understand what some of the characters on the office are saying :? Maybe I'll hunt down some subs and try watching it again.

I want a piece of this pipe dream you speak of... Can it take me out of Salford and into the sunshine? Actually, I'd settle for just the first bit.

Well I never saw 40-YOV, nor one episode of Office. But that guy in both was great as the weather guy in 'Anchor Man'. I love that movie, Ha! :D I think its classic, almost as good as 'There's Something About Mary '!

But I don't watch to many sitcoms as tv humor and drama seems a bit strange lately.

No way! You're right, he is the weather guy in Anchorman! I never knew that! Anchorman is the best film ever made. Ron Burgundy is my hero :)

My car isn't worth that much, but again, my income is most probably less significant then yours.

PS : By less significant I mean, f***ing less significant :P
