I wish I could marry a girl just like the girl who married dear old dad.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

You seem to hold a grudge against Arabs for a bit more than 5 minutes.

My dad's a lapsed Mormon repressed homosexual with a teenage daughter who doesn't talk to him and a loveless marriage.  If I was in my dad's position, I would have either tried to fix it with all my energy or killed myself.  Not like him much.

He holds a grudge against an Arab for 5 minutes, then moves on to the next Arab.

I'm quite simillar to my father, but as I grow older I'm starting to be even closer to my father's father in some aspects. His mouth, his eyebrows and forehead... and some of his temper. I hope this trend doesn't go too far, because Grandpa was (or became in his last years) very irascible, a sore loser, and extremely good at holding grudges - he hated Germans so much because of the Civil War that he could never bear watching a German team on TV!

I'm a lot like my father, both in terms of looks (down to stuff like being unable to grow hair on certain parts of my face, thus inability to grow sideburns) and in terms of behaviour. He is a fucking panic/drama queen, too. :P

I am a clone of my father. Edit: And my father was a clone of his father so I am a clone of my grandfathers clone.

Like we are going to fall for that trick. You are just immortal.  :rolleyes:
