just said basically the same thing to my flatmates. except my way of saying it involved john wayne gacy entertained lots of people as a clown, but...
unfortunately, i seem to know more about american pedophile serial killers than my british companions, so the point was missed initially and forgotten
by the time i explained about gacy.

HaHa, Random said "flatmate".
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

haha... i've said "roommate" over here and people look at me and say "wait, you mean you share a bedroom with someone?"
luckily this queen's english crap hasn't really seeped into my vocabulary. i'd want to punch myself in the face if i ever referred to trash as
"rubbish"

it's the worst when you're hanging out w/ friends at home and someone who has just returned from the UK is like, "let's take the lift to my flat!"
fuck off.
'cheers' might be the worst offense at home, though.
cause it's always some pretentious fuck using it.
i'm guilty two london-isms...
1) i start adding 'yeah?' to the end my sentences. the people we hang around end every sentence with 'yeah?' so it drills into my head immediately.
2) week-END (emphasis on the 'end'). i don't know why. i literally correct myself every time i say it.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

finding that a lot of kids stuff is different here, too:
diapers = nappies
nap = liedowns
stroller = pushcart or pram

i was cutting up some vegetables to cook with dinner one night and caught the tip of my thumb with the knife. nothing serious, but it bleeds a lot.
next day, i asked someone at the front desk of the medical center where i could buy an adhesive bandage or band-aids and antibiotic ointment.
eventually, i learned this meant i should have been asking for "plasters" and "salve".
i've largely been able to avoid lift, flat, and cheers. i didn't realize "yeah" was a british thing, but i'm around canadians who add "aye" to the
end of everything.

I'll use cheers here, but it's a very conscious decision.
It'll never happen at home.
There's a show the kids like called Blue's Clues.
At home, two of the characters are called Shovel and Pail.
Here, they're Bucket and Spade.

No,I think the charges were dropped after he paid them like $20 Million in hush hush money.
I watched an interview with him last night.He denied ever having any plastic surgery besides his nose.He said the only reason he had the nose job was
so that he could breath better and hit higher notes when singing.But he was swearing that his face just changed so much because he was growing and
getting older.
Fucking freak.

If you're British? Nothing is wrong with it.
I think I speak for the Americans on the board when I say how annoying it is when some shitbag American nerd decides to adopt either a fake british
accent or british slang (or worse... BOTH).
Words that it's OK for Brits to use but not Americans (at least not with the same meaning): cheers, holiday, mate (I fucking hate this one), oi (hate
this one, too... in America, it's a style of music and nothing else), bird/byrd, fag. I'm sure there's more I'm not remembering at the moment.
And why the fuck can't I fall asleep when I'm tired?

I've seen this first hand. Its annoying as fuck. Although to me cheers is acceptable if said with drink in hand and not being used as a greeting.

I use Cheers, and holiday, I don't think those are exclusively British sayings. Of course I'm just a dirty colonial anyway.

seems strange a family would be willing to settle out of court with their child molester. If I were the parent then only thing I'd be concerned with
was getting him put away, not adding large sums of money into my bank account.

Luca,
I don't think it's so easy. If I were the parent, the only thing I'd be concerned with is making sure he ends up dead. That's not a terribly
practical decision though. The parents were really facing this situation:
(i) pursue charges, hope he gets convicted (unlikely for someone with his money and lawyers), and hope the molestation doesn't have too much of an
impact or your kid, since you can't afford the best therapy, or
(ii) realize he's probably going to get off on the charges even if you pursue them, take the settlement as the closest thing you'll get to an
admission of guilt, and be able to provide for whatever fucked up shit you kid is dealing with now as a result of the molestation (and I mean things
like a lifetime of therapy here, not eliminating the need to ever get a job).
The sad part is that this only happens when the guy has money. Because if he's poor... well, like the old saying, you can't get blood from a turnip.
Only option there is to pursue charges and hope for the best. Your kid still gets stuck with the aftermath either way.

and there was something foating around the other night that the first kid
who could describe his package recanted his story this week after he died
said his dad put him up to it for the 22 million and he was sorry he could never tell MJ he was sorry
sounded fishy and the links were not so great, but
all people are fucking scum
and I don't doubt MJ was a freak but people do far worse things than get their kids to lie for money and ruin other people...
and MJ would be an easy mark for such things since he was always opening his house to kids
