You talking about Charlie Spencer Chaplin? that nice bloke born in London England on the 16th of April 1889???

sorry i like my films!

But your right our Humor is a bit different to our US friends, like spelling i mean Check is when you make sure somethings ok and not that lil bit of paper you give people to pay for things...thats a Cheque! still we both know what each other means so we all get along!

Well I what I really meant was the physical comedy so prevalent in the US v/s the play with words more prevalent in the UK.

I really like some US comedians esp. the stand-up variety not so much the blokes on TV.

Cool!
I belive that the Morgan club has a saying: "If you have owned an Morgan you have not lived in vain!"

You've got people on this site that think it's the most beautiful thing on the road, then you've got poll results showing people voting it as one of the ugliest cars on the road. I think it looks great, but I see Clarkson's point, and also know people that can't stand the looks of the RX-8.

That is what acctually part of makes a great car for me - that they have character!
I am so dead fed up with the dull cars made to fit everyone so that they in the end loose any personality.

Sorry for the rant. It feels better now.

Cheers, Niclas
