Britian searching for new national motto

Mine: Our last invasion: with guitars.

except for the Faulklands, I mean

How about “Our island is spelled ‘Britain’!”

OK, my take: We’re crap, but it’s funny.

Come to Britain. It’s great.

:smack:

I spelled “Falklands” wrong, too. :confused:

I hate it when the edit window expires…especially when it’s because the board times out 2 or 3 tries in a row!

At least it’s not France

(or is it just the English that hate the french?)

Let’s go and get shit-faced

It’s OK, I messed up the spelling in my correction too. Luckily I noticed immediately. :slight_smile:

The UK - we’re… oh never mind. Anyone fancy a pint?

How about: We’re sorry about Slough. Please visit anyhow!.

Does Britannia no longer rule the waves?

What was wrong with “Fancy some beans & toast?”
:smiley:

“Britain: without us, the world would not be exactly as it is.”

“Britain: come for the women, stay for the cuisine.”

“Britain: we’ve got Jaffa cakes, and you don’t. That alone makes us better than you.”

“Britain: We’re sorry about the marmite.”

“Enduring yet more ‘citizenship’ bollocks.”

“Now with fewer overcooked vegetables!”

That’s the winner IMO.

Et in Arcadia asbo

I think “Let’s get pissed!” has a better ring to it.

I agree with you. But it’s a shame the first of the ten is plagiarised from Douglas Adams.
