Don't worry cousin, the next time you're attacked, we'll still come to your rescue. 8-)

I should bloody well hope so - the number of times we've had to be there to help you out of late
... despite more of our troops getting killed by septic friendly fire in the first Iraqi fracas
Which brings me round to thinking ...
Have you actually won anything since you came to help us out (at great expense to us) in WW2 ?
err ... Vietnam ? ... No
Chad ? ... No
and whose defence network was hacked by a 14 year old kid
anyway, bye for a while - off to sunny germany

That's a very good example of why most people with brains left Europe for 'The new World'.
If one took all the time, energy, expertise, and brain power expended on this thread, I betcha it would be almost enough to duck tape them thar wires to the battery.
So how come Britain made a better nuclear bomb than the New World? And the New World wanted as much detail of our superior technology as they could get?

The promblem is that the Septics believe their own war films...for example, 'U-571'.

What superior technology? Lucas?
A giant US engineering company, TRW, put its best brains to work to develop a successful electric power steering system. They spent a long time and many millions of dollars. In the end they had to go out and buy the technology from a little British outfit. Guess who that was? It's now the world most successful electric power steering system.
Now who the hell was it....
Oh, yes. Lucas.
That's odd, I know it's a work of fiction and not a documentary. Even as a small child, I knew that Superman was not a real person. Perhaps some people believe everything they read or see in movies and TV shows. I have found that many Europeans get their stereotypical opinion of the Southeast U.S. from the media and when they visit, are surprised that there is no constant banjo music and a Negro hanging from every other tree.

The US military also purchased the rights to build the Harrier Jump Jet. I think there has been a lot of technology going in both directions. So be fair about it, The UK is a great place.

I thought Lucusitis was a disease cause by the use of Lucas products? Is there not an evil fellow named Lucaser, Prince of Darkness? 8-)

Everything Lucas made sucked except their vacuum cleaners.

Indeed, no constant banjo music or Negro's hanging from trees.
Just lots of extremely large people and restaurants that all think you haven't eaten for months. I guess the trees couldn't withstand the weight, so the Negro's just dropped to the ground.
No "superior technology" has come out of GB since about 1950. - and that may be stretchng it. There have been a few "good ideas" since
