But H, you do realise that when you use such language, the world outside the US looks at you and simply thinks - twat.
Why would the world outside the US think that? What's wrong with this language? Hyro's making a reasonable inference based on the Nobel commitee's actions in the last few years. Just because you don't agree with him doesn't make him a twat. If anything it makes you sound like one. Just thought I'd point that out.

Re: Nobel Peace Prize?
My apologies, the subtleties of written language were lost on me that evening. I just thought you were calling him a twat for his opinion on the Nobel committee. Dum de dum...
