Quote: "There is a theory which states that if ever, for any reason, anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.”... Douglas Adams 1952 - 2001
But the world doesn't have to be "Americacentric".
I propose we beat that lot across the Pond and rebrand our UKLEM's "The World Series Laser Enthusiasts Meets" - WOSLEM !!

Sorry Lads.
Same rules as your World Series Baseball thingumybob.
This is a not a definitive list and home players may add to it to define what makes us quintessentially British.
- Only home teams can enter.
- You have to partake of Tea and Crumpets at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
- You must be able to talk about the weather for hours on end.
- You must display an intricate knowledge of the difference between wit, sarcasm and taking the piss.
God Save The Queen !
Oh, oh! I know, I know! I've got something to add to the list of characteristics that make you "quintessentially British".... (And I am *so* going to hell for this next comment...)
Er... On second thought - no. I'm not going there.Bad taste and all..
Ah, screw it.We're all adults here, right?
We can take a bit of ribbing... (And besides, how likely would it be for someone from the UK to travel all the way to the US just to beat my ass because I offended them?
Yeah, not very likely...
OK - go for it!)
Ok - then # 5 on the list of qualifications required to participate in the UK world series of lasers would be:
Loosing the revolutionary war to the bloody Yanks...
Ok - start throwing your tomatoes now.I *told* you it was in bad taste. But come on, the setup was soooooo good.
No? Not so good? Ahh hell. Every time I think I might have maybe crossed the line, I soon discover that I actually crossed it long ago, and the cheers of the crowd are actually chanting "off with his head!" Dang...

The stuff from Skeeta.com is half that price though... for the same material.
Adam
I have another prerequisite for the list:
You have to know what "smoking a fag" really means!!
Sure caught me off guard the first time I heard it in that part of the world!!
Like we say here in Tennessee, "Y'all talk kinda' funny!!"
