You should appologize to Bertel Lund Hansen for speaking out-of-term. You need *permission* to speak. Address Bertel Lund Hansen as "Yes Master, Bertel Lund Hansen." Of course I would tell Bertel Lund Hansen, "Go fuck your mother!" Go ahead Steve, tell Master Bertel Lund Hansen, "Go fuck yourself!" with permission first..

It's about "strange English". It's not my fault you have reading comprehensions problems. >>>>> I was watching UK Love Is Blind.. but it is differcult understanding what everyone is saying because either they talk stange English and they all seem to have a French accent??? I don't get it? I thought UK was in England, but it sounds like everyone is from France. What happen? I heard somewhere that French people are a minority in France...so who is doing all the talking in France??? Maybe UK is not part of Englang, or all the French people moved to...UK???? I'm sooo confused. Good thing Netflix has English subtitles. And the subtitles are in English! I lucked out, by jove! btw, I saw Love Is Blind France, but nobody there seemed to be from France!?!? Or was it Love Is Blind Italy?? What difference does it make, right? Nobody in UK speaks English anyway! dis rubish vorld is a bloody mess... i caun't speak english anymore. >>>>>>>>>> -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.

All good suggestions, but anywhere west of the cornfields is probably a
legitimate candidate.
That said, Texas, Oklahoma, and Montana are probably in the lead for
Hollywood's choice.
