    Oh, and he's not usually an arsehole (I'm British, so it's not asshole ), he was just being an arrogant SOB that day and thought he was being funny, of course, if he ever asks me what was wrong with it, I shall tell him to stop being nosy, it's my call!
    In Britain, an asshole refers to a gunshot wounded donkey?

            I was inquiring because Debs stated it was explicitly "arsehole". Word play!

                I ask because the only exposure I get to other countries is TV. I hear that word used a lot on shows from Britain and Australia. Maybe I should quit listening to Jim Jefferies, but he is funny as hell.

                    At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

                        Guess I should be more specific. Regular tv mostly sucks. I get video and movies from the internet and one of my IT guys at work. He has about 9 terabytes of movies alone. Finds neat stuff from around the world. He is going to hook me up with some South Korean sci fi . He says they make great sci fi. As far as stuff from your country I have seen...Norman Gunston, Paul Hogan, Kath and Kim, Wilfred and I am sure a few others. I am big on stand up comedy, already mentioned Jim. And don't forget Balls of Steel from both sides of the water.

                        In America, before cable, there were 3 major networks and a forth one that was, and istill is PBS. It would be considered smart people tv with no commercials. They would play British shows a lot. There are shows from Brittan that I had watched every episode of. As a matter of fact, that is where I discovered Monty Python Mr. Bean, Faulty Towers, Are You Being Served.

                            Reminds me of this scene from the Matrix. At 4:06, the "salespeople" swarm in to convert the technician. They are even wearing typical sales garb.
