As to my "Anglophobia". To paraphrase Sly Stallone in his movie 'Cobra': Yeah I a problem -- but it's only a little one.
I actually do like the old British Films and Brit Film Stars from the 30's, 40's and early 50's. 'The Four Feathers' (1939) is one of my all time favorites. And Alfred Hitchcock, wow, who could top him (his '39 Steps' is 4 Stars). Or Monty Python's Flying Circus in the late 60's. And no one was better than -- Archibald Leach (didn't even have to look that up). And music, 'heck', Eric Clapton is my guitar god. And even Keith Richards with all his faults, I like him too. He's great on his Fender Telecaster. So see, it's only a 'little problem'(1).
(1) it's that whole WWII thing and that $#&*ing Monty screwing everything up due to his EGO. Then 'we' barely get a thank you afterward for saving HIS reputation by carrying his load, and for saving the UK's rear end. [Sprechen Sie Deutsches?])
‘(1) it’s that whole WWII thing and that $#&*ing Monty screwing everything up due to his EGO. Then ‘we’ barely get a thank you afterward for saving HIS reputation by carrying his load, and for saving the UK’s rear end’
You wonder WHY you get ‘no thanks’ when Americans like you come away with phrases like saving the UK’s rear end?. Not only is that bad history, its insulting to your relatives and to every British person. Do you have any idea how insulting that is?.
As to Monty, I would be happy as well to about him, as whilst I am not a huge Monty fan, the assertion that the US carried Monty is nonsense.
