Please speak English and use the verb “let” with an object, i.e. “My husband doesn’t let ME.” Do you enjoy speaking like immigrants??? Well, yes, I guess you do. But is doesn’t say much for your education or your job prospects.I must say, I have always enjoyed speaking like an immigrant. I also enjoy walking, eating and drinking like an immigrant.
And now on the topic:
“I know nothing.”
“I learn it from a book.”
“Uno, dos, tres”.
“Si.”
“Fuego!”
“Typical of this place...”
“Don’t panic!”
“What else is there to do?”

hahaha Fawlty Towers, nice.
Ah yes, the greatest tv show in the history of mankind...
Hmm. I am trying to think of another one of the same caliber.

I’ll get back to you.
Jeeves and Wooster is also brilliant...
Never seen it.
I mean, I did enjoy “Are you being served?” and “Father Ted” and a few other BBC shows, but none quite so much.
A slight example:

In general, British television is far superior to the American variety.
British culture is superior to American culture. Almost all aspects. E.g., Celtic music vs. country. Can you even compare?
If you include food in culture, then your statement is untrue. If you include sports in culture, then your statement is untrue. If you include politics in culture, then your statement is untrue. If you include personality in culture, then your statement is not true.
I include food and sports, and my statement is certainly most true. American food is awful, and you know full well my opinion of American sports. Although I think baseball is evenly matched in its dullness with snooker.
Have you ever eaten British food? You know what they say, "The English kill their food twice- once when they kill it, and once when they cook it."
True, but British can adapt food from their frog-eating neighbors. They’ve gotten much better at it.
OK, I’ll give you American food. I’ll take well made nachos over British pea soup any day. But I still find Gordon Ramsey entertaining.
Something good from the French?
There are plenty of good things that French produced. Pierre Richard. Commissar Megre. Simon Bolivar.
And without French, whom would the British defeat in the wars? Would we have Patrick O’Brian’s series? Or the other one, slightly more boring. Or Soldier Sharp?
Humph.
Top Gear is certainly a very nice show.
Oh yes? I have never heard of it. I will take your word on it.

“I hate to be the one to break it to you, but uncle Watkins has always been nasty and short-tempered. The midwife that delivered him remarked on it.”
I like it. :)
“Women do always put a damper on things, don’t they?”
“Well, they are brought up to believe that it is their duty to restrain the male optimism, sir.”
Brilliant, is it not? No wonder DNA loved PGW so much.
