Perhaps you can tell me why you, among others obsess over the UK?
ooh, my. aren't we the touchy one?

i've posted 2 threads involving the UK in the past year, and you're practically prolapsing your colon in rage that i'm 'obsessed'?

how odd.

I am? I don't think I've ever started any thread about any US issues to be honest?
The pound hasn't crashed at all, 1 pound was 1.1307 Euros in October 2017, today its 1.1480, after the Brexit vote it sank to its lowest value at 1.0639.

You've posted on American issues many times more than most American posters post about UK issues. I have no problem that you do that, but you get all incensed about an American posting about something UK, just hypocritical is all.

Like I said in my post "you AMONG OTHERS".

p.s. I am not prolapsing my colon in rage and I'm not sure why you think I am?

Huh? This thread is specifically about the UK. Read the title. I think he is perfectly in the right to correct misconceptions about what is happening there.

because you made up a lie that i'm obsessed, despite the fact that i've posted a grand total of two topics on the UK in the past year (probably in the past 17 years, to be honest), and that that has caused you to lash out in rage, just as you did the last time i posted a topic involving the UK.

why do threads about the UK upset you so greatly?

maybe you should find a forum about fuzzy puppies and yarn somewhere. something that doesn't infuriate you so much.
