Thoughts on Britian?

[Doug]

I like britain but im from the north east and its infested with chavs and i regularly get shouted at in the street for having long hair and not wanting to look like a cock in burberry gear.

I share your pain. I too am from the north east. as long as i stay on myestate i dont get bothered by chavs, but as soon as i go to one of the towns surrounding it its just a long line of insults by chav scum. One time on the bus, they were annoying me so much i got the bus driver to kick them off. That was a good day.
Anyway, i love britains history. Most of its people annoy the hell out of me. As does our current government. I just cant help but feel the glory days have gone. And i missed them because i wasnt born yet

Yea i feel the glory days are definitely gone

Technically, our glory was invading and oppressing foreign lands in the name of Queen, Country and 'Bringing Civilization to the Natives'(TM).

No that it was all like that or all bad, but still, lets not pretend it wasn't a race with the French to see who could steal as much of the planet as possible before the other (still, we won - take that, Johnny Frenchy! ).

Any country that has given the world Monty Python, The Beatles and Doctor Who is fine by me.

Yea bringing civilization to the natives by sailing over there and going 'your family works for us now and your land is also ours'

I'm English, I talk in a posh accent, have tea and crumpets almost every day and my teeth are actually pretty bad...I know nothing about and stereotypes though...

(Everything I said about myself is actually true!)

 

[The_Healer]

I know someone has probably already pointed this out.

But you spelled Britain wrong.

[sub]How embarrassing...[/sub]

Britain is shit, and all the people I see saying "british accent" I want to hit. HARD! FOUR COUNTRIES IN BRITAIN... wait 3 the uk is 4... or is it the other way around... pah it's confusing anyway!!!! FOUR BLOODY ACCENTS!!!! YOU MEAN ENGLAND!!!! The crapest country in britain btw. Scotland is the best, best accent, best people (hello we have invented the best of things, tv, telephone, anaethetic, radar, bank of england, the bike and it was US that MADE BRITAIN!!!!) then Northern Ireland (or cousins XP) and Wales.

now enough of my rant. Love my country, I am Scottish not British.

Also, Scotland has the highest alcoholism rate and heart disease (also, the inventers of the Deep Fried Mars Bar and the Deep Fried Pizza - no, I'm not joking American readers).

As for 'making Britain', I'm pretty sure that was English Imperialism, and the fact that the national economy of Scotland ended up being bankrupted by a scam, ledding it to let us English 'buying it out'.

Anywho, I am in fact half-Scottish.

 

[Inverse Skies]

I'd like to visit the UK, and you guys make some amazing comedy shows, but I can't really say much as I haven't been there. Give me a few years to go over and I'll let you know!

 

[MattRooney06]

I'm Australian.

I don't think about Britain much. Unlikely that I'll ever go there unless someone else pays for it, because I kinda of prefer the hot weather where I am. Although I think girls with English accents are kind of hot, so maybe if I ran into enough money I'd go during the Australian winter...

and they still managed to p*** of the americans lol


i love the beatles

Edit: ignore this i replyed to the wrong comment

before britain the us was full of native americans (not saying its a bad thing)

the british pillgrims (yes british thats pillgrims from england, scotland, wales and ireland) moved there and settled, eventually the pilgrims called it there land and made it there own becoming the first americans.....naturally king george didnt like this and thats where the red coats came in


anyway scotland is an awesome country....im half scottish and half english the best combo lol

Tea, fish and chips, meat potato pie, sunday rost, Train spotting (the film), Our rock music, our punk music, local pubs. History and the variety of culture. Our football fans will fight tooth and nail with each other but when it comes to getting a burger from the takeaway there will polity line up with each other. Rain Rain Rain. Our comedy, we take the piss out of our selfs more then anyone else. Irish abillity to drink, scotish abillity to deepfry everything. These are the things i like about GB.

Londen is like going to a diffrent countery, i hate the place i hate the peolpe there.

 

[TimeLord]

My thought on Britain is that Gordon Brown needs to GTFO as soon as possible, Britain itself is pretty great though

 

[ottenni]

Well i'm Australia so without Britain i wouldn't exist. So thank you. And i appreciate the rivalry in rugby and Cricket (though i don't appreciate Ricky Ponting keeping the captaincy, how do you loose the ashes more then once!). And i think the accents are hilarious! So is the fact that us convicts can beat you at your own sports, next it will be soccer.

Unfortunately i have also encountered a great deal of arrogance and racism towards Germany (and i'm half German too) in British people I've met which sucks. But i have NEVER met a Scottish or Irish person that i haven't liked (though i know someone who met an VERY distasteful Irish bloke).

 

[RanD00M]

Britain hosts the Download festival.So it's fucking awesome.

 

[elgenx]

the fact that britain consist of a great lots of nordic genes makes it great

 

[arc101]

Well, most "British Stereotypes" are in fact English stereotypes, if we wanted to incorporate the whole of Britain it'd be:

Haggis eating, Sheep fornicating, tea drinking, boozing, kilt wearing, chip eating, angry, violent, insane, gay hooligans.

Edit: I'm Scottish by the way and the term "British Accent" pisses me off.

I'm welsh so i protest. We also hate Britsh Accent
OT: I like Britain, we aren't all yobs and thugs, carrying knives thrying to mug everyone the same way that everyone in Iraq is not members of the Taliban.

did you read the US as the U.S.? I ment us as in Scotland, James VI uniting Scotland, Wales and England after... Elizabeth I I think it was died.

Again see the James VI comment. English people tend to forget the first king of Britain was Scottish. And fyi to everyone the whole deep fried mars bars/pizzas are really unhealthy is complete bull.
