I wonder how long until the buzzkill occurs and people spout up just to say, 'nothing, everythings shit'

For me living in England I love our comedy, I think our stand up circuit has got to be second to none. I also love how into the last election everyone got, it was nice to see everyone debating politics and doing it in a surprising amount of cases with actual facts. Confusing.
I'm also a fan of the UK + Ireland comedy circuit (can't leave all those excellent comedians out now can we?).

John Major, BRIAN BLESSED and David Cameron.

All several shades of awesome.
Infact, we appear to have an up-and-coming from the comedy circuit right here!

I currently live in England and its lovely its in own quirky ways, the public never moan about anything ever, London has some excellent stone masonry work on its buildings (just go to Regents Street and look up, alternatively go check out the Natural History Museum), and Brits are naturally talented Engineers some very simple yet effective engineering feats have been done by Brits.
I don't think you're in the right country o_O

Unless you're being sarcastic.
They moan yes but not at the time, normally its behind your back.

I was once on a train that had broken down for 6 hours (virgin train of course) and nobody kicked up a fuss, they just went "oh dear" and went back to reading The Daily Telegraph, when they got home they promptly sent a letter to said newspaper with regards to the "atrocious" service they received from the buffet cart (it was PG tips tea as opposed to Earl Grey, the swines!).

Lol. Maybe it's different in London, but where I live people can complain pretty loudly. Funny thing is, they complain while they get on with whatever they were doing. I get the feeling they just like being annoyed at something : /

Well I would have to say that the best thing about living in scotland is that there are no English accents. English people are ok, but your accents are horrible... Other than that it's just beautiful land, funny people and good times that I love about Scotland.
Amd shortbread! Don't forget the lovely shortbread!

I guess what I love about my country at the moment is the ability to leave it. Other than that, I guess its history, all apsects of it.

I don't think there is absolutely anything in my country that I love. Anything I can get here I could get elsewhere, and there may be things I "like" here, but they're all mostly things like, fuck, I don't know, my friends and family? Only thing to love about this country, purely because I've just lived here my whole life.

Estonia, by the way.

I love that NOTHING is too sacred to make fun of.

Our freedom of speech. Dont like what I say? What are you gonna do? Sue me? Well.. You cant!

A long and.. Most of the time, proud naval history. And the past conquests. We may not have alotta land.. But we are leading in programming, architecture and... Ehh... Pork!

Manny Pacquiao and his seven (or was that eight) world title belts. Now he's a congressman. Whether to be proud that he knew to quit while he's ahead or facepalm because he entered politics is something that bugs me to this day.
