Is the OP friends with KP, by any chance?
Where’s the OP go? Hope he didn’t get his bones ground to make bread.
You’re lacking that classic English trait, understatement! It’s un-English to be proud of being English. Even Sir Isaac said “If I have seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
what time do the Pubs close in jolly ole English…errrr Great Britian…errrrr England
About midnight. Post at 12.21am or so. I’m convinced.
What’s your plan for getting back on top?
Step 1: Boast on internet.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit! (and most of the map coloured pink again!)
does anyone else think it’s weird to be “proud” of the patch of dirt you were on when you slid out?
I thought it was because the Empire was in the East and the sun sets in the West.
But serious question for the OP: Why are you guys so much into spanking?
Yeah, but it’s not uniquely English. I mean, I’m incredibly proud of my birthplace of Paisley, Scotland. I mean, have you seen it? It’s…quite a sight.
“It’s SHITE being Scottish! We’re the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don’t. They’re just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can’t even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We’re ruled by effete assholes. It’s a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won’t make any fucking difference!” – Trainspotting (1996)
Wait…
Everyone hates England?
I thought that was OUR thing!
Well, yes. But we do get to blame the English for everything that goes wrong here. So there’s that.
Most of my ancestors were English; fortunately they got over it.
Sorry, but in the mind of the typical American, English is tied with Canadian for “least threatening foreign nationality.” Probably 95% of Americans’ England-related conversations for the past decade or so have centered around Harry Potter.
HP and Monty Python.
I do if that patch of dirt isn’t the United States of Awesome!
He said he could ask. He didn’t say we would listen.
I’m an English boy
Precisely made
You can pin me down
I am not afraid
I show no fear
I will serve with joy
I’m proud to be here
An English boy

Oh, like the time you beat the American colonies, then came back and got beaten again? And then we had to save you from the Germans . . . twice? And the time you needed our help with the Falklands?
