We won the war.

you say 'war', I say 'troubles in the colonies'.

Yes you seem to have a terrible track record with those "troubles" of any sort.

In the annuals of British military history, it's down as a minor skirmish

Same way Dunkirk was a "minor setback" as opposed to a "disastrous defeat" right? Ah well the British military has always preferred vastly inferior foes, preferably armed with slices of fruit eh Blackadder?

Actually at the time the US was the arse end of nowhere and the Empire was more interested in keeping control of the Caribbean islands or fighting one of the bunch of other global superpowers that was fighting them at the time...

Whaaa...? You know we're talking about the *Football* World Cup, right...? (Soccer, yes, yes, whatever.) The one the US gets to take part in?
...and hasn't won yet...?

Admittedly the "two world wars and one world cup" thing is usually aimed at those dastardly Germans. ...who've won the World Cup many more times than us. Still...!!

We also have more Olympic Medals that you in your own invented sport: Rugby Union

We invented a lot of sports... hell the Modern Olympics came from Yorkshire!

Oh, you did NOT just bring better beer into the equation and manage to misspell it straight off... It's spelt: A L E

he spelled it correct...the superior product which is served cold is beer, the inferior product which is served warm is ale!

That scraped up donkey p*ss you call beer, would have to be served cold.
America where people dress up in body Armour to play rugby.

As a British person who plays American Football at Uni and has played rugby throughout secondary school I feel qualified in saying the difference between American Football and Rugby is that Rugby is a contact sport while American Football is a collision sport. There's also lots of rules in rugby dictating where you can hit someone whilst there isn't in american football. And, the best thing is? The pads and the helmet aren't to stop you being hurt. they're to stop you being 'seriously hurt or killed'.

You must be the only one then.

Nope, definitely not the only one, I keep a mini-keg in my fridge at all times (it's better than bottled Newcastle) I also love the summer ale, Bombshell

I thought he was talking about the place...
