The train that links London to Paris/Brussels is called Eurostar, not Eurotunnel trains and NEVER chunnel trains.

With all these people liking Rules, alll i can say is that it's a shame that Fanny Craddock isn't about to cater to you.

Bloody computers.

Botham just couldn't get his leg over.

I remember cars pulling onto the hard shoulder of the motorway for laughing when that one came out.

Google <b>chunnel</b> and you will find that the Eurotunnel is OFTEN given that appellation (not the least of which by Brit media).

We can thank Madame Craddock for this lovely thread....

There are a few classics from an Irish radio presenter who does a quiz at lunchtime...

Larry Gogan: &quot;Name the BBC's Grand Prix commentator? .... I'll give you a
hint. It's something you suck....&quot;
Contestant: &quot;Oh, Dickie Davies.&quot; (Murray Walker is the correct answer).

But this is my all time favourite from another Irish radio show...I nearly crashed the car hearing this one...

Gerry Ryan (chat show presenter): (during a discussion on whether people would like to be buried
or cremated when they die) - &quot;Would you like to be buried or cremated?&quot;
Caller: &quot;Oh, buried Gerry.&quot;
Gerry Ryan: &quot;And where would you like to be buried?&quot;
Caller: &quot;Up to me balls in Bibi Baskin!&quot;

(Bibi is a TV presenter in Ireland)

Chunnel - yes - but this is the one you drive your car onto as opposed to the ordinary train.

On Family Fortunes there was the quuestion “Name a dangerous race” and the bloke looked puzzled for a bit and then said…. “The arabs”

The foot passenger service is Eurostar.com
Automobiles with passengers by Eurotunnel.com
The submarine conduit is the Channel Tunnel, but &quot;Chunnel&quot; falls more trippingly from the tongue (Hamlet).

Not quite. Just takes up less space in a headline. One of those terms journalists use to show how out of touch they are.

&gt;&gt;&gt; think that most Americans don't realise that ice is frozen water and actually dilutes anything that you put it in.&lt;&lt;&lt;

What you really are saying is that you think most Americans are totally stupid?

Goodness, no. He was just bantering.

See, I got it!

Another yank/irony interface problem.

Frakkin'ice again

From the first Gulf War:
US Pilot: &quot;It's hell up there, we're taking triple A, SAMs and tracer&quot;
UK Pilot: &quot;A bit dicey&quot;

From the Afghan War:
US Marine &quot;Tora Bora is hell's mouth&quot;
UK Marine &quot;Tora Bora Tomkinson&quot;

&quot;Google chunnel and you will find that the Eurotunnel is OFTEN given that appellation (not the least of which by Brit media)&quot;

You'll also find that the first page of results fails to link to Eurostar or Eurotunnel, whereas &quot;channel tunnel&quot; returns these as these top links.

And here I thought the archetypical English restaurant was Burger King.

Preferably enjoyed in a shiny track suit with stripes up the side, and a set of triplets in a counterfeit Burberry pram.
