    No Timgoz the thread has not evolved.

    The subject of the thread was the lack of Americans engaged in the forum.

    We are providing the answer.

    We are engaged in humour.

    Get it.

    Yeah even Frosty can take part in that - normally without grasping the true significance but he's trying (God is he!)

    What are you talking about Poida? We Americans are funny as Hell! That is why we kicked the Brits out; to stuffy.

    Speaking just for myself, YES.
    If you're asking about our government, YES.
    And Tim says YES.
    So the answer to your question is YES.
    Se how accomodating we Yanks can be! :D

    Hey Art,

    :p :) :D It works. The "snowball" hasn't posted in this thread for almost FOUR (4) days. There is a God for he has worked a miracle (even if "snowball" posts now, it's still a miracle) :D :) :p

    Im going to start deducting points from smiley users,----God-- I hate that tounge sticking out one.,---

    Why doesnt God help me and not just every one else? EErrr no thats not true I dont need Gods help ,---well not as much as others do.

    Poor ole god must be rushed of his feet in Origon and Cornwall Afganistan. Infact any where the ******* have been helping.

    God is not American --He was infact a Yorkshire man hence his ability to communicate, entertain and suffer fools. Something I do every day.

    Slight confusion here Frosty. I believe you’re referring to Enoch Godly whose formative years were spent in a fish and chip shop on Ilkley Moor, and who at the age of ten invented the three-cup stainless steel bra - which unfortunately proved fatal for cross-Channel swimmers.
    But Enoch was in fact born in Lancashire to Elsie Tupperware a tea-towel designer from Burnley, and fathered by wandering Juan Guillermo itinerant Spanish banjo player.
    Enoch would be about six months old when his parents’ wanderings took them to Ilkley, where having fallen upon hard times - due to a lack of interest in Spanish banjos, they exchanged their baby for a bag of chips.

    Though of course you may be confusing him with Wilberforce Godling - sales representative for the Yorkshire Pudding Company, whom alas, was found three days before his fiftieth birthday, battered to death.

    Welll Errr you could be right. Did you get that off google too.

    About the baby,--- for what I know about babies and that aint much, but from what I do know about them,-- swopping for a bag of chips sounds like a good deal.
