Nope, the best line in the movie is delivered by the witch woman after Nottingham has a raging tantrum.

"Something vexes thee?"

The strangest thing about England that I have noticed is the bizarre gender roles thing. So many Englishmen are effeminate (sp?), while many Englishwomen are hateful, psychotic and downright mean. Is the fact that so many Englishwomen are ugly a contributing factor? Do they have to turn up the wierdness knob in order to make their men erect enough to "do their duty" and produce the next generation of that venerable race?

I think we have found the reason England conquered the world. We were in search of fit birds.

- Explains why Ireland had it worst, cos they have the fittest ones.

- Also explains why we left Europe alone.

Aha. I see your problem.

Your entire experience of the English comes from watching re-runs of "Are you being served?".

you know, i have to say, i like british comedies.

fawlty towers was a classic, but i've taken quite a liking to black adder, 2.4 children, and chef... although i like old chef better than these new episodes.

Good english comedies rule.

By good I mean, this kind of subtle secondreading message intelligent humour they have.

the only time where the phlegmatic englishman stereotype gets injected with blood and life.

You might say we seem effeminate but American girls love our accents.
