Bwahaha. It took me a while to work that one out. Ah, the joys of Cockney accents...

[ellonwye]

I don't get it.

The American is mishearing the word "bomb" as "bum." And thinks bum = homeless person who digs through trash.

Oooh. I was also confused. There was a lot of staring, blinking and wondering if I had missed something. =D Thank you.

...It's really funny now.

I personaly loved the comment to the alleged hilarious misunderstanding. I've always wondered what the US would do if the UK took them to court over funding Noraid who often met with IRA people on their travels to Northern ireland.

I'm dying for them to.

War on Terror? There's a sizeable chunk of the Irish American community that needs arresting right now. Sir Ian!!!!

Will never happen. I can dream, right?

Damn straight! Although it has to be said that most people who have ever raised this kind of subject with me in the US have no idea who or what NorAid is. Just a small subset...but that's what terrorists are.

haha, I read it like 5 times and couldn't understand it, until I tried saying the Londoner side with a "accent".
