1. Full of ourselves? I would say the British and Irish are probably the first to make fun of the British and Irish. The UK/Europe thing gets on my nerves too though.
2. Damn straight my old cheese grater.
3. I'll give you that, in truth I don't think one side is better than the other except that Worldwide there is more RHS driving, and ultimately it would make it easier if people didn;t have to swap.
4. I say piffle to that old bean, tea is 4pm. (although personally it's been a few years since I drank tea, and I don't tend to eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner)
5. Fish & Chips from the right place can be awesome... the soggy overcooked and greasy fish shop stuff is not my kind of thing, but there is a great F&C restaurant call Murgatroyds quite near Leeds-Bradford airport.
6. Given that 'pommes frites' translates as apple fries when seperated I think chips is a more meaningful word (as the chips are chipped from the whole potato) As for crisps, well normal crisps are kind of chipped from the potato so chips works, though I would descibe them as slices... however they are called crisps because they are crisp, as in crunchy.
7. Which profession is that? either way I am sure there are jobs like that all over the Western world. Oh wait, do you mean the royal guards with the bearskin hats and red jackets. Yeah that is dumb.
8. Yes, it's fucking annoying... I will generally smile at people I walk past in the street (unless in the city when to do that would require a permanent grin) but I don't do so to people that look between 15 and my own age, just in case.
9. Err no. The redhead populace is surely higher than any other country apart from Rep. of Ireland, but they are still rare (I think there were 4 redheaded males in my year at school for example, out of about 100... redhead girls seem to be more common, though it might be dyed, either way doesn't bother me as red hair on a girl is a bonus for my tastes  )
10. I have no idea what that means.
