My ass! I've been googling facts at bars on my NON iPhone for years, yes, YEARS goddammit. And it only makes drunks more angry and more spoiling for a fight than ever. Why the hell do Apple bigots insist on rewriting history. Bunch of assholes one and all. iPhone ending bar arguments? My ass!

It neither requires knowledge of minor British politicians (or worse, intricate familiarity with the business world) to understand jokes, nor is it based exclusively on the standard of its dirty words (don't rush to judgement though, British dirty words eclipse those of most other countries for innate ridiculousness; we do playground insults better than anyone, and you'll find no better example than Viz).

Instead, by its failure, it meant another two centuries for catholic emancipation. Hooray? But even then it still manages to be a bit cooler than our civil war. Inaccurate as national stereotypes usually are, it was a pretty effeminate decision to decide to bring back a king after all that manly fighting and (eventual) head-chopping (not that the joyless, Ireland-brutalising puritans who replaced them were so brilliant... oh British history, you are a cruel mistress!)
