Tubs,

A few pointers...

Shabba once told me that "I wouldn't know sarcasm if it kicked me in my teeth". To which I replied "I don't have any teeth".

Irony along with sarcasm is the basis of English humour and totally lost on most Americans. Saying "...NOT!" is not sarcasm.

A couple others..

Twat. In the US, calling someone a twat is unwise since you are accusing them of being a pussy. In the UK, it's a mild insult meaning "idiot" which we are so you perceive it to be a compliment. I now ordain you a "twat" when talking to you at CDZ.

Personally I would like to learn proper usage of cockney rhymes someday...you know sandra bollocks and all.

Oh one last thing....soccer is not a word in any language outside of the United States. If you do use it...I say bollocks Tubby gets fist in arse.
