fair enough

I like the people and Tony Blair. He has been a good ally. Some of the people I have met from the UK are a bit stuffy at first but I always loosen them up and end up having fun with them.

i have to s ay when americans stop making fun about me we have a good luagh

I guess what I mean is , they still can't seem to get rid of that "class" system over there, they will hang on to it until they cease to be a nation.

I think they're fine. I'm not going to judge a whole country based on stereotypes, and a small amount of contact.

lol i wish we was like trhat becuase if we was be a lot less crim violence were basicly a miniture america lol

we are called america of europe

Especially our drinking culture. Widespread binge drinking among teenagers.

I must say this thread is totally uncalled for, we English people have not a care what foreigners think of us, gads we used to rule most of the world ,and
out of the kindness of our hearts gave it back, and now the ungrateful whelps moan about us, disgraceful i say.

im english btw and i started it and no we did not give it back wilingly, after the efects of world war 2 were to por to hold onto it.

Treacherous lies, your English you say? well learn how to spell English.

Treacherous lies, your English you say? well learn how to spell English.
And you laern the correct use of 'your/you're'.

lol how much you wana bet im english?
Oh, we believe you. We're just embarrassed and appalled, that's all. You're showing us all up.

ok im sorry i strugle with my gramar and spelling, but im trying if you look at my original posts you will see that they have got better.

Type them in something that has a spell-checker and check them before posting. There's a good lad.

i'm not showing you all up, all i was wondering is what do people think of the british and please don't be so proud.

I can't help being proud. Us Brits are great. Only the ones who can spell though.

fine thats it we are enemies!

It would appear so.

i'm not showing you all up, all i was wondering is what do people think of the british and please don't be so proud.

Balderdash, sir/ madam, you show we English up by just asking the question,
there is no doubt that we should be held in high esteem.

And, sir, B, i say B, is the first letter in British.

lol by us yea but the rest of the world i highly dout it.

england is a shithole, our leader is an asshole, and i dont think much of our society.

the english stereotype is way off the mark, it must be an old one from before my time i guess,


peace.

the british are currently under terrible leadership. i will wait for the nex election before condemning the people, but the government is almost as bad as the american govt.

I can't help being proud. Us Brits are great. Only the ones who can spell though.

And the ones that do sceince, idoit.

yay oli well a tiny bit defending me iwas once told by a man that daffy fuck would help me!

Daffy is every thinking person's hero.
The finest actor in history, and he does all his own stunts.
I wanna be Daffy Duck when I grow up.

I like the people and Tony Blair. He has been a good ally. Some of the people I have met from the UK are a bit stuffy at first but I always loosen them up and end up having fun with them.

That 'stuffy'ness could be down to price. How much do you charge when you prostitute yourself in England?

well if you have a lisp you're half way there lol

In the spirit of sounding like "Simon", absolutely dreadful gun laws and police state in the making. You might as well all get acquainted with 1984, because you're heading in that direction rather rapidly.

Yall are about a thousand times cooler than the french.

What does the world think of the u.k

Well, i know Australians can give pommies a bit of a ribbing, but at the end of the day, we like them. it's funny because it's like a love hate relationship... lol. nah, well every aussie i know likes the uk, or at least doesn't have a problem with em.

i've never actually met someone from the UK before, but i'm not about to start hacking out a bunch of people i've never met or even talked to, it's just not who i am. And i hate when people have preconceived ideas/thoughts about a nation or person, when they've never even met them. it doesn't make sense to me...

Well i like pommies (BTW, i'm sorry if that term offends you i'm just to lazy to write it proper), even though i've never met one. Give them the benefit of the doubt, until you have a reason to dislike them... :D

But what the hell do you have against the letter `z'???

And I think that it's highly entertaining to watch the House of Commons on CSPAN...much more entertaining than watching Senate debate in the US.

Heh so cool. I thought I was the only one that still called them Pommies, Aussies still do too? Or just you?

Aussies only call them pommies... what's the real term again?? lol

Where are you from BTW?

And the ones that do sceince, idoit.

lolol......didnt we go over this science thing last week:yawn:

Where are you from BTW?

Canada, our countries have a LOT in common.

our countries have a LOT in common.

lol. really? i didn't know that... like what??

Ok NOT Climate and NOT Geography(other than both are Rough).

History. Length of time since colonization by British. WWI(we even served on the same front for a span), ANZACs at Gallipoli and Canadians at Vimy Ridge. Very similar and the after effects IDENTICAL - Nationhood at least the feeling of it. Both became nations on their own in the 30s. WWII we differed only in campaigns and again mirrored after effects. After the war both countries had major european immigration and in the 70s to today, immigration from the same commonwealth India/pakistan/etc. as well as east asia.

Generally people of the two countries promote a good sense of humour(notice how I spell that) over most other qualities at least in passing. We both do not generally value "class" and have disdain for it. You have a strong tie with New Zealand and we well...we convinced Newfoundland to JOIN us.

I could go on and on. Aussies and Canucks go together like peas and carrots....mmmhhhhmmm.

woah, you did your research lol

How old are you BTW? if you don't wanna answer then that's ok, eh? lol

i'm just wondering
The UK is America's sidekick.

I thought that was Australia. you know, with john howard being george w bush's puppet and all... *grrr*

I can't help being proud. Us Brits are great. Only the ones who can spell though.


Shouldn't that be 'we brits are great'?

Pff. Maybe. If you're a toffee-nosed posho. :rolleyes:

I think of luvly ladies and dashing well educated men

What a nice honest person, i would offer you tea and crumpets any day.

Yall are about a thousand times cooler than the french.


Well spoken, BenTheMan. :)

lol britian is a well o.k country but now it's far from posh lol especialy that part im from birmingham lol

The UK is wet.

London itself has interesting Museums, As a city its pretty good, but i've seen better, The one thing i like is the News Media, I find BBC quite reliable and informative than most sources, However, Its not on the International Stage as often i'd like to see today but that may be because the media focuses on the US more. . .

Norway, now where the heck is that, i am sure i read some thing about it

the one thing that america has in common with the english is that we both hate the french.

I don't.

Neither do I. But then again I work with French people all the time.....

I don't.

you could be hung for a remark like that. you better watch your mouth.

That was a joke by the way.

Sorry Sandy. :o

Try thinking about how the world would be without ever having the English.

England. The cradle of democracy.

English. The language of world trade

...

England. The cradle of democracy.
...


???

Try again.

In any case, I think the UK is great.

Great architecture, great food, beautiful open natural spaces, excellent transportation infrastructure, proximate enough to mainland Europe, and OK beer.

Maybe I should have said " Modern " democracy..

It is still the same thought though..

Take away everything that came out of the UK and what would be left ???

English. The language of world tradeWhile I think they are more liberal than America (come to think about it, very few countries aren't), the conservatives are still a very reserved lot, almost pretentious. I don't get why they never changed the name West indian to native American, I mean "west indians" and East indians have nothing in common so why didn't they ever change that name? They made a mistake in thiking America was india, fine, but why did they stick to the name? No respect for other cultures. Just a thought.

great food,
Huh? Which in particular?

Yeah, what with our unarmed Police force. We are not told to keep our hands visible by traffic cops lest we get shot when we are pulled over! Who is is it that gets bullied by armed forces in the employed of the Govt? Not us!
