Marjorie Dawes: Dust. Anybody? No? High in fat, low in fat? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. Anybody? No? Dust. It's actually very low in fat. You can have as much dust as you like.

Towards the bottom.

Not quite as bad as the "Howard is a ****wit" rating.

Of course it's homo****** but we all know how bitchy shirtlifters can be.
That's what makes it funny to us Brits because it's basically a big gay bitching session about the absurdity and general surreality of life in Blair's Britain;)

But I guess that means it doesn't 'travel well'

For Gods sake, do not even put this in the same league as Monty python. Doing so is simply admitting that you didn't understand half of Monty pythons jokes.

Little britain is funny. But it's all catchphrase humour with the same jokes repeated throughout a series.

Catchphrase jokes? No, not "Roy Walker walks into a bar..." but why do everyday people think that repeating a funny catchphrase from the comedy show makes them comedy geniuses? Even worse when the ****heads decide to use them as ringtones for their mobiles. Andy Pipkin is NOT funny when it's some crap impersonator blaring out from a phone. Bastards, the lot of them.

It's the German (i.e. Anglo Saxon) contribution to the gene pool;)

Don't think so... German girls are quite good looking... I think it has to do with the isolated population on islands. Inbreeding on a large scale...
Regarding the striking ugliness of British women, binge drinking is the only way how reproduction can work in Britain...p-)

I think it's a more localised scale of inbreeding. My town for example has an extremely ugly population, all of which were born and raised here. However, just 15 miles up the road is a town where all the good looking, non inbred ladies seem to have emigrated to.

So it seems to be the luck of the draw as to what you get.

Well I travel to Germany regularly (my wife is half German) and even she regularly remarks about the number of complete howlers over there.

As for insularity and inbreeding Britain was a global trading nation with people going backwards and forwards to distant lands for hundreds of years while Germans were er sitting in Germany. My wife's relatives in Swabia are nice people (as long as your not Black/Chinese/Asian/Russian/Bavarian/North German etc) but are the most insular people I have met anywhere in my travels round the globe. Unlike you Fritz we've never had racial purity laws either ;)

LOL I wasn't born in Germany, so don't call me Fritz. When I've been to England the only hot girls I saw didn't seem to be naitive. And we all know that those racial purity laws were BS, those who made these laws wouldn't pass the requirements...rofl
Don't forget that the German population is a mix of Germans, French, Slavs...

Being a global trading nation does not make you diverse in race. The Brits have been colonizing, but never mixed with the people they colonized. Just like any other Nation trying to build an empire. The only exceptions tot his rule would be America, Canada and Australia. But those countries (except for the USA) were still mainly British when the empire broke apart.

Actually that's simply not true. In Britain we've got the descendents of Picts, Irish, Welsh and Scottish Celts, Pre Celtic peoples, people from all parts of the Roman Empire (including Africa and the ME), Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes, Norsemen, Norman and other French, plus massive waves of immigration from Eastern Europe and Italy in the 19th and mid 20th centuries. Then there's all the immigration from the various colonies too which isn't exactly a recent phenomenon. For example in the mid 18 century there were ~20,000 Africans living in London alone and from the early 19th a lot of Indians and Chinese too. All these groups left their mark on our society and now Britain has the highest proportion of mixed marriages/partnerships of any society in the Western world.
But you're right there's a lot of fat ugly pigs out there :-) and in Germany too

The romans got the hell out of Britain as soon as they stopped to have a military presence there. Britain was simply given up by the empire, just like Germany north of the Danube and the Rhine (these countries were too barbaric to conquer p-)). The picts and celts (except for Wales and Cornwall) were either killed, or absorbed by the peoples that came later. Like the Irish (which went to Scotland), the Anglo-Saxons (main bulk of the British gene pool), Danes (mixed with Scots, too), and Normans (French speaking Vikings).No major waves of mass immigration from 1066 to 1945.
Germany has absorbed many slavic and baltic tribes when the Teutonic order expanded in the baltic east after the crussades (well, Germany didn't really exist in these times). And we had a lot of imigration from the west and east in the 18-19 century (Hugenottes from France to Prussia and Poles, Silesians and Pommeranians to the Ruhr area).
You might have had 20000 Africans in London, but they didn't really mix with the Brits. It all began in the 20th century. After WWII Europe really became a multicultural society.

You're right, every country has a fair share of ugly women.

The Romans were in Britain for around 400 years Lippe. If you think there was no shagging going on over 400 years then you maybe need to learn a bit more about the activities of bored randy squaddies miles away from home.:)


No major waves of mass immigration from 1066 to 1945.

That's incorrect there were large numbers of French Huguenots, Flemings, Spanish Jews (late 15th C on), East European Jews (19th C on), Indians and Chinese (mostly in the sea ports), Italians (late 19th C on)


You might have had 20000 Africans in London, but they didn't really mix with the Brits.

That simply isn't true. Georgian London was famous for being 'a den of iniquity' and to put it bluntly people in those days liked to breed their own slaves. Not very PC I know.


It all began in the 20th century. After WWII Europe really became a multicultural society.

For Continental Europe yes but the process started a bit earlier here.

Well, there's your word against mine! I'm not an expert on british anthropology, so I can't really prove you wrong, but I still claim that British women are not good examples for gracile beauties...p-)
