Why do we Brits like a whinge and a moan so much? Who knows but i thought id start a wee thread to have a good moan about the lastest topics!

Ok heres mine! The bloody weather! nuff said!

"And heres' you BBC weather report.....................we are pleased to report that weather conditions will be normal for the months of September, October, November, December, January and February. Rain and more rain. Right! Now for some dreadful news from other parts of the world..............."

The thing is Brian your probably right!!!!!

"Whinge?"

Yep Whinge. Scotty is proficient at this form of "Middle English" His grasp of his own "native" language has fallen by the wayside somewhere in the cavern of his mind. He's very good at profanity too though.

Kris its a UK thing we all moan about things.Now what about the price of Diesel.......... and Brian Medways gags!

I'm telling!............you started it.......

Ok you win!

Politics
Hurricane season
The price of fuel

I'd rather talk about other stuff...say, a Scotch on the rocks; life's so much more pleasant after a Scotch or two on the rocks.

I havent even mentioned the prices of guitars in the UK! Gordon Brown! or the Christmas adverts on T.V already!

How's the weather, Scotty?

Snowing today!

That's about what I figured

"Whinge" and "Whinging" are pronounced the same way we here in the States pronounce "whine" and "whining" IIRC. Am I correct Scotty, Brian...Sarah?

Ah man,

I thought with this title, it was going to be something dirty!
