Re: so gullible

(Seriously, the American streotype in Britain is that you don't get irony or sarcasm)
Choose the typical American reply:
1) Oh, we get it alright, and lots of it.
2) It's just that it so often has the odour of decayed empire.
3) What could be more ironic than having a blithering idiot for a leader--with your PM in tow?
4) Irony is subversive: No dark sarcasm in the class war please.

Re: It's a joke

Since when does Schraf NOT give commentary to a serious topic? Lots and lots of commentary...
Hey, brainboy, I get paid for my tendency to give lots and lots of commentary, and if I recall correctly, it's that money-earning tendency which has enabled you to live fairly comfortably while you worked to get a piece of paper that qualifies you to give your own copious commentary on a different subject.
If you like, I could bill you.
