How can you say Simon Pegg and not Nick Frost. Don't get me wrong I prefer pegg to frost but they are a duo.HailtotheKing said:
they are like batman and robin. Robin (Frost) gets forgotten all the time.
OT: I like the way way we apologise for everything.
Most of what I can come up with is done so.
How about the greatest captain in the universe?
Or how about Sharpe/Sean Bean?
Both are from Yorkshire. Because it's awesome.

I believe you mean Hob Nobs. And they are good, especially when dipped in tea...MMMMmmmmmm!narwhalman218 said:
I'm proud of the fuck ton of stuff we've invented (mostly the stuff by us Scots), our comedy (Some of the best in my opinion), the English language itself, our contribution to literature (Woo Shakespeare!) and our military.
EDIT: OH OH OH
A guy from my home town is called "The father of modern economics and capitalism"

I propose a toast to our most marvelous National Health Service!Danny Ocean said:
Without it, it seems we would both be dead, pretty much anywhere else in the world.
Although, I didn't cost that much to save, just a couple of tens of thousands. I think >.>
So yeah, anyway, I'm proud of the NHS. Still putting up with Tory crap, and not yet dead, helping everyone it can.
I wasn't aware that Britain had comedy. Thought it was against the law there.BlueberryMUNCH said:
In all seriousness, the British Empire. Thanks for civilizing huge portions of the planet, Britain. You might get called Imperialist scumbags by balding, loser neo-hippy history profs at Dickhole Community College, but they're just pissed off they spilled bong water on all the ungraded term papers. Your empire produced: Australia, which is awesome; India, which is also awesome; and America, which is the best country in the history of the world. This is not to mention the tons of other countries which are better off than the countries around them simply because at one time they were colonies. Way to go.
A close second is your military. I worked with a British Major as part of an exchange program at my last installation and I've worked with Brits in Iraq. Your soldiers are all fantastic.
MARMITE! Now I know what you must be thinking, but where I live (New Zealand) it's quite hard to get the stuff. That and New Zealand's take on the Marmite is quite frankly horrid!
And don't even get me started with Vegemite!
P.S. Look NZ you didn't Invent Marmite, and you didn't invent bloody Weet-Bix!!
P.P.S. You did however invent Pavalova, so hats off to you in that department.

Oddly, northern girls' accents. They really get me going, I have no idea why. Or Irish girls. Why do I like them so much? I could quite happily just listen to a cute Irish voice for...ever? Luckily, I'm British too so I at least have something of a chance of finding a semi regular supply of Irish girls xD
Our sense of humour
the ole "stiff upper lip"
How noone on this green earth has the foggiest idea about beer, except us Brits of course
How weve taken inspiration from the best parts of other cultures
A predominantly logical and nonsuperstitious outlook on life
The ability to utilize self deprecation and not take ourselves too seriously, so many countries need to learn this.
