There wouldn't be enough room in your brush shelter for my ego and me, I would have to sleep outside. And then it would rain so I would be no better off.

I wasn't inviting you to the brush shelter. I assumed you knew you'd have to sleep under a bridge like all the other British expatriots and Irishmen here.

Comes to the same problem again though, my ego and me both wouldn't fit.

Bridges? BRIDGES? Gar, in my day we dreamed of sleeping under bridges! You zoobies are too soft on us Brits, I would give us a leaky paper bag and have done with it.

We've all lost our edge here from living the good life and don't have the will not to coddle foreigners anymore.

It is a glorious reflection of modern life. Zoobies and British people living in perfect harmony. Gone are the days when you would run in terror with the local press posting stories in the Zoob Gazette about "human sightings" (claimed as crackpot theories). And within a few short years (only 143 days in each) there have been no wars. If only the rest of the world could get on like us.
