My pandering about the sex appeal of British babes such as Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, and Helen Mirren finally paid off — a mention in the Times of London about my 1987 Oscars coverage. That’s bloody wonderful!
So, screw you, New York Times! I’m not waiting around for you anymore, you stuffy old fart. And you know what — growing up in Queens, my family read the Daily News anyway. Ha Ha!
And LA Times — don’t make me laugh.
London Rocks! (good Indian food, too)

After hearing your amazing New York accent a few months ago in an interview, I’m having a hard time ‘hearing’ as a Brit…which makes everything you’ve written in comment even funnier. Thanks Neil!
Well done you!
Your’e in london? I could have given you some tips! GO TO PING PONG!
I like Ariel’s detailed explanation. My Brit hubby would also tell you (as he often tells me) that he is NOT European though. I always ask him to then explain which of the continents England is part of? Then there are the times where he claims to be European if it suits him.
Did you know that there was a poll done asking Americans where they thought the United Kingdom was, and the majority of the people polled thought it was somewhere in the Middle East?

Congratulations, Neil! I mean, well done, old chap.
By the way, I distinctly remember being an early Blog Crush… are you shirty with me?
my british snotty snobby cuzing-who is a teacher, i think of 2nd graders or something, said something to me as i told him about my present endevours..
he said, you’re full of beans..
which when asked what that meant he replied, full of zeal and energy.. i know that here it means full of shit..
i am offended and want true clarity..
what does full of beans mean to the Brit.
