Brits in America (8/17/09)

The Times of London recently explored a subject near and dear to my Anglophiliac heart, y'all: "Why do so many Brits fail in the America?" is the article, and the question is one I'd quite like to know the answer to. I could use more Brits in America, thanks. Of course, their failure here could be down to a tangled time loop: Beckham may be having problems with soccer fans, and Tesco may not be able to launch a chain Stateside, but these problems don't even begin to compare to the problems they ancestors had with the colonists.

On a closely related topic, the Independent has compiled a short-list of the smuggest Britons, and you can check it out and vote here. Are any of your fave peeps on the list? And, more important: In your heart of hearts, are you ready to admit that maybe they belong on the list?

Uh-oh, Ricky Gervais! Are you smug?


Speaking of Ricky Gervais, I got tickets to see him in November! Most excellent.
