Still waiting...

[quinara]

...for an English character in US series who (a) is not evil/morally compromised, (b) does not use alcohol as an emotional crutch and (c) does not have an abusive father.

I suppose there was Stephen Fry in Bones... But I distinctly recall him apparently not knowing what a barbecue was so I may have to add (d) is not generally ignorant about life and (e) is not some toff with a secret and repressed rebellious past.

Maybe this is a tall order, but, really, is it that hard?

And here was me thinking it was just a general fear about taxes full stop. I mean, obviously they signal socialism. ;)

Well, yes. But you also burned down our White House.

Really, the Brits are just bad news all around. Don't know why we didn't take you over years ago.

I'm sure it was all very sad... Didn't you build another one anyway? (And, blimey, if we held a grudge every time someone burned/bombed/invaded us, we wouldn't have anyone left to invite for tea!)

[next_to_normal]

Yes, we built a new one. We built a better one - and you're not invited! Well, except for diplomatic things, of course, because we don't want to arouse suspicion by being rude to you, even though we're secretly plotting your demise. Shh - don't tell. We want it to be a surprise. :)

Ooh, we do like surprises... *sneakily gets on the phone to MI5*

*quinara's house suddenly explodes*

Oops, sorry. I did warn you not to tell.

You do know I live in a house with some/at least one of your dear expatriates, right? :P

[next_to_normal]

Acceptable loss. If they were true Americans, they wouldn't have left. :)

*snort* Touché...
