Thanks, learned something new. So he and 70-80 knights were paid mercenaries during unsuccessful siege of Vilnius in 1390. Still don't think it counts as British invasion...

Here is a nice classic American joke.
No really. Most Americans, being the self centered people we are knowed to be, do not realize how much are tv programming comes from England. Popular shows like The Office are franchise adaptations of British comedy. Brits actually create new content all Hollywood does anymore is manufacture boilerplate crap like a most new music products. Apply formula an go.

Interesting, how do typical Aussie women look like? Aren't Aussies a mix of different ethnicities and do not really have a typical look?
Here are some ladies from Aussie rugby team, which one is most representative???
My father is Austrailian and I've lived there for many years. The one in the middle is the most "accurate" although all wouldn't look out of place.
Sydney is a melting pot. You could toss anyone from anywhere in there and they'd fit right in.

So do you actually fancy British humor?
Yes mate. Problem with Brit TV is they only do like six or eight shows for a few seasons only an a ckouple blockbuster movies. Opposite America tv problem of 24 series seasons an dragging things on to the point of ruining a legacy. Friends, Seinfeld, Big Bang Theory right now...

Biggest problem with North American TV shows is the whole approach to making them. You get an idea, create a concept, pitch it to execs and hope it gets picked up. How long for? Well, a season to begin with. Then you hope to go from there. There's no overarching creative vision. You don't say "Hey, I've got this idea for a show. It will go like this, run for 3 years, then end this way." You just pitch an idea and hope you can milk it for as long as possible. Hence the garbage that is Big Bang right now. They had no idea the show would last this long when they created it, and they had no idea of what would happen on the show right now when they started it. They're just making it up as they go along.
Even worse was That 70s Show. The first couple of seasons were strong, a sweet and funny piece of nostalgia that captured both the decade and what it's like to be a teenager in any decade. Of course, the concept of "6 teenagers in highschool in the late 70s" ran into a problem of 8 seasons and then the timeline got wonky and the show became unwatchable. You can tell that the creators had absolutely no idea where they wanted to take it and how they wanted to end it when they created it.
