Yeah, that's annoying :-(

I had to manually bookmark this page to get the English one:

http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=en

Which, of course, only works when I start searching by clicking on that 
bookmark.

For normal search (not the browser's google search bar, because this one 
is another type of "beast") there are two approaches you can try:

1. Set the browser's language to "english-us" or "english"
2. Use Google's cookies to save your defaults

Google search facility is starting to be a real pain with all that  
presets enabled...
