Did anybody here watch the game Miami and New York Giants game that was played in london? Well, I didn't get to because sadly it wasn't on Nation TV but I bet it was something else to actually watch... just because basically it was hosted in London for the first time ever in NFL/American Football history, I bet you London people(if there are any) here were excited about it.
They don't like football over there, JDog. Well, actually they do, but it's what we call soccer.
Also, their chips are our fries, and their biscuits are our cookies. Madness!
Well, how would you know? maybe they do, maybe they just never get a chance to see what its like, there were alot of people at that game, and i bet alot of them where from london or some other parts.
Actually, that was really more of a setup for the punchline. I'm a regular Jerry Seinfeld!
I'm still pretty sure not many British people care for football (not soccer!), though. Or else it would have a larger following there, neh? And I bet they'd prefer rugby anyway. :P
P.S. Their crisps are our chips, and their scones are our biscuits. Confused yet?
Yea I guess, though it was pretty cool that it happened.
I... love Scones, though.
Living an hour and a half away from london by train I have to say I didn't even know this happened. And apart from one guy in my year (who incidentally wore these knuckle duster type things on his hands for tag day) I don'yt personally know anyone into American football. And he didn't mention this.
You call scones, biscuits?
That's just weirrrd

Jdog, people in London aren't living in a Totalitarian society. They can watch whatever they please, it's not like there's a law in England saying that they can't watch American football...

Watch it, or we might have to throw some tea into the ocean again.

I ment like a live football game, not just on TV, but like a live actual game, maybe I ought to have been more specific XD

That quote box's family isn't going to be too happy when they hear what you've been doing with it.

I'm surprised we can even understand each other.
Edit: "Wotcha cock!" is officially my new favorite expression.
