I can't wait until Human Weapon goes to England to learn how to do jousting. The English sure know combat sports.

even the football hooligans have a strong vocabulary which makes them seem way smarter than your average wearing socks w/ sandals American.

DLizzle- People don't have classes, this isn't Dungeons and Dragons. The hilarious part was: "high-pitched, chippy, common voice" not any of the descriptions.

FWIW, I'm sorry people don't like you just because you are racist. People are mean. Especially black people, amirite?

Hahaha, do you really not believe there is such a thing as a high-pitched, chippy, common voice? Or that you can't judge a person by how he talks? Oh, I forget - you're no Englishman.

It's amusing to me that allegedly normal Englishmen have mannerisms most closely associated with girls auditioning for My Super Sweet Sixteen on this side of the pond.

Effete mannerisms like class snobbery are a big reason why English people seem gay. It's either that or the buggery.

Fwiw, I have a rather plummy voice which makes me sound either expensively educated, or gay. Or both. But I am pretty sure I'm neither!

rofl if you think class snobbery is exclusively confined to England. You are very short-sighted if you don't see these things going on in America (though admittedly probably not as bad as in England). One similar area where Americans are much, much worse imo is when it comes to people of different financial situations than them.

Classes do exist whether you like it or not and it is dumb to believe they don't. I personally like the class system since it keeps the jumped up pantry boys from the working classes in their place!

Btw, saying someone has a 'common voice' is not particularly offensive. Tbh, in England these days it much more socially acceptable to be working-class scum than an upper-class twit.
