Note to self: don't come home from the pub at 2 in the morning and start replying to articles in Neatorama because then everybody will think that people from the UK do talk a load of incomprehensible bollocks. Apologies.

With the "67" thing I think he's trying to suggest that people in the UK will talk a load of (to foreigners) incomprehensible bollocks, then conclude with "and Bob's your uncle" as if that makes everything hunky-dory. He forgets that the whole phrase is "Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt", and that "fanny" in the UK means something entirely different than it does in the US (as a kid, when I first heard the phrase, "sit on your big, fat fanny", I nearly died of shock and laughter).

As for "Texan English": shoot 'em, and when you can't shoot 'em, hang 'em, then hang 'em again and when you can't hang 'em or otherwise pretend to have a criminal justice system worthy of the name, and you've already tried to sue them for messin with Texas, claim "Houston" was the first word said on the moon, all the while not knowing that it actually refers to this place:

You mean the Union Flag, it's only a "jack" when flown from a ship. And it's the flag of an oppressive, corrupt regime and hopefully after the referendum in 2014 it will cease to exist and Scots can at last enjoy true representative democracy, something they've been denied for more than 300 years.

True and this kind of blanket imposition of physical "anti-cheating" mechanisms shows a deep mistrust of these kids, they're all assumed to be cheats and that has to have an impact on their emotional development.

Adults can be all too quick to condemn kids for lack of respect; where's the respect being shown these children?

In the beginning...ignorant, uncivilised, Bronze Age goat-herders made up some stuff and then, later, some other ignorant, uncivilised medieval sheep-fiddlers believed the same stuff (under pain of, let's be clear, severe pain, torture and death) and now we have, all over the world, ignorant, uncivilised savages who believe in Bronze Age fairy tales. Yay for religion!
