None of them. Well, maybe Alan Rickman ;)

Well there's a few we never did find after the revolutionary war.

You didn't pronounce that right. It's Theatre!

too true! I loved the Importance of Being Earnest.

About a woman recently widowed:

"Her hair has gone quite gold from grief."

Mad Professor 03-09-2009 04:29 PM

Peter Cook.

But then I'm a Brit, so I don't know if my vote counts

Undertoad 03-09-2009 04:47 PM

I'll back that one up Prof.

There are some Derek and Clive bits that still destroy me, to this day.

Was Oscar Wilde a Brit though?

Sundae 03-22-2009 05:51 AM

Well, he was from the British Isles.
We have quite an elastic definition. As you can tell from the accents of the people who play sport for us...

DanaC 03-22-2009 07:55 AM

I'm not 100% sure, but I think he may have had dual nationality. He was from an Anglo-Irish family (Dublin born). I don't know enough about the path to irish independence. Cause Dublin was part of Britain prior to that I think.

Trilby 03-22-2009 08:17 AM

do you Brits claim Jonathan Swift? Or is 'eee too Eyerish for ye?

DanaC 03-22-2009 08:19 AM

I think we lay claim to Swift.

Trilby 03-22-2009 12:45 PM

I like to think Stephen Colbert is our Jonathan Swift and Jon Stewart our own Alexander Pope. :D

Urbane Guerrilla 03-23-2009 01:28 AM

Gilbert. Sullivan.

Wrapped a community-theater production of The Gondoliers a couple weeks back.
