Mais, chéri, Elizabeth David is vairrry Engleesh! In fact, she is the person who introduced the British to French cooking.

Bisous bisous, mon petit chou. Donnes-moi une suce sur ta canne à sucre ;), un gros bisous de ta chatte.

Hello, Honey. :)

The very thought of it has me salivating.

'Lo, Sugar :)

The thought of my ... filet de boeuf? ;) I must recommend my butcher to you <snerk>.

or just eating with lasciviousness...

from Tom Jones

That one is famous. . . .
and deservedly so!

That was delicious! It reminded me of the oysters and champagne stories people wrote for the Guardian competition. And of that guy I met on a train one time, who insisted on taking me out for lunch, even when I said I wanted oysters and champagne - then had to ask for a tissue for his 'chewie' through which he had been sipping his glass of Laurent Perrier :D I'm very grateful to him for not sticking it under the chrome bar stool in the Selfridges oyster bar, LOL.

Kids in the Hall had to have been one of the funniest damn shows back in the '80s. Of course us Yanks had to depend on the Canuckians to finally bring good British humor to North America! And TKitH went places even Norman Lear hadn't.

We finally played catch-up (somewhat) ten years later when In Living Color began its television run and broke all the rules.

One of the guys I grew up with was the show's lighting director and according to him, at least a half dozen FCC censors had either heart attacks, strokes, or resigned because the Wayan Brothers just kept pushing the envelope further and further. :D

And yet the good ol' USA managed to survive adult humor being on broadcast television...just like Great Britain had been showing them could be done for three or four decades. ;)

Kids in the hall was Canadian so it was Canadian humor.

Hence my reference giving credit to the Canuckians. ;)

KitH certainly had its own unique flavor but was definitely heavily influenced by all those wonderful Britcom classics like Are You Being Served? and Fawlty Towers.

Don't forget the Carry On Films! I must watch Carry On Up the Khyber with Piglet, LOL. I'm determined she should have an education that includes all the key classics. Nobody should be without knowledge of the Khasi of Kalabar and the terrible consequences of Private Widdle's encounter with the fiercesome Burpa tribe.

And of course, there are those hilariously funny Monthy Python movies you guys gifted us with.

I just snagged a vintage VHS copy of "Life of Brian" for 25¢ at a thrift store the other day. Sounds like a great way to spend this evening...Curl up with some red hot chili, a few glasses of wine, and Monty. And maybe run out beforehand and get a fresh baguette to make another of those chocolate sin things you turned me onto for dessert. :cool:

Piglet might also understand the basics of 'Nagging':
"My mother told me not to marry a soldier but would I listen, Oh No. Well I'm certainly paying the price now, aren't I"
etc...

Good Irish girls know not to marry a soldier: here's a comment from a ten or eleven year old (Her mother tells her she has to wait until she's more mature - thirteen - before she can get serious.)

Bfhearr liom féin mo ghréasaí bróg.
á oifigeach airm faoi lásaí óir.

(The cobbler is the man I like the best.
I prefer him to an officer with golden braid.)

It's from the Gaelic Classic, Beidh Aonach Amárach (There's a Fair Tomorrow)

I take the liberty of recommending two old B&W films which may be regarded as classics:
Inherit the Wind [Spencer Tracy & Fred'k March]
On the subject of the 'Tennessee Monkey Trial' in 1925.
and
Twelve Angry Men [Henry Fonda and others including a damned good performance by Lee J Cobb]
On the deliberations in the Jury Room.

They are visible on YouTube
