Nope

I said it loads of times yesterday


well done

did it feel good? how high were your adrenaline levels when you did it?


No such thing as english anymore.

Only british.


maybe

but the extreme "politeness" is more specifically english, i don't think the welsh and scottish are as bound by it, if you know what i mean.


I said no quite forcefully at Burger King the other day.....

'NO. If I had wanted anything else I would have mentioned it 10 seconds ago when I placed my order'.


they ask if you want another item.

you say no.

there's no need to be rude.


Its not the sales people

who make those decisions, though. They hate doing it, probably a lot more than you hate hearing it. And they're not getting paid very much.


^ this

so god damned much


and all they are doing is asking oif you want that supersized or whatever

if that hets you up, maybe you should consider moving to a cave somewhere


They probably have franchises in caves too

Osama, bet he has a branch of Burqa King in his mountain lair.


why were you in Burger King anyway?

Couldn't you have just forcefully said NO to the person holding the gun to your head?


maybe

but probably yes.

although...


N..n...nnn..


</3


i'll hold your hand

if we can walk round the castle grounds, deal?


NO

see, i'm not english, so saying no is not a problem for me


Sometimes

depends who I have to say no to. Sometimes I'm emboldened by 4 pints of Guinness and I will take on all comers. Other times not.


I said no to overtime

on Sunday! Go go go go go go me!

I felt guilty about it all day though.


this sounds horribly like

something from a BNP mail-out.


No, it hasn't


No, I disagree
