    In life there are always the unfortunate ones. Despite trying to be plastic British by living in London, you will never be British....accept it and have our sympathies.

    Old chap! I'm... so terribly, terribly sorry.

    Is there anything they can do?
    I'm sure there is a Mess somewhere nearby that can lend him a Webley. It's the decent thing to do.

    If it's been sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk then not only am I also probably pissed, I've probably stolen it.

    Are you sure you guys can even find a spare "firearm?", just saying, you know with the gun laws in this country and everything...

    A gentleman doesn't need a firearm except occasionally for matters of honour and reminding uppity colonials of their place.

    Sheer force of nobility will usually suffice.

    We need people who look to the stars, holding the nation and the world in their hearts but at the same time we need down-to-earth people who can do serious and trying work.

    In a definite sense, a country's power and prestige isn't only a reflection of its economic power but also a reflection of its people's quality and morality. Moreover, I think the latter is actually more important in the long-term.

    If I were an American living in this country I think anywhere other than London'd be a nightmare.

    Oh, sure, especially in London. We get the odd drive-by or two occasionally, although, of course, nothing on the scale of the average Californian city.

    I think you're rather underselling Britain. I"ve heard you can get hold of guns and drugs in Moss Side and Glasgow, and some of our politicians can be just as wacky.

    Well if you're a gun nut your place of residence ought to be the Isle of Man.
