Anti-britishism

We've been punished many times over for that... (just check out that photo*, isn't that punishment enough?)

*and then use adblock

Im afraid the damage have been done already.With the melting of my eyes as i witnessed the horrid scene.I had to adopt a keyboard of the blind people and i blame now the Brits for that also!:smash:

Somebody ought to do one of those frame-by-frame beer-by-beer morphs that go around in email.... I think that's actually Samantha Morton.... before the beers.

Do you damned Brits think that we here in Finland have forgotten Ålands war,during Crimean war?Bombarding Finnish cities with your wretched ships being too afraid to fight like men!

---

Did we really do that?

Wow, is there ANYONE we haven't sailed up to and bombarded at some point?

Are we the boys or what?

On a side note, whenever Scots are abroad (mainly Euroland) and are proposed with the question "Are you English?" (which is quite often), the foreigner gives a notable change in tune. Reel off a few words in the native tongue and the chap'll dance for you, too.

But the vast majority of Americans feel as though you, the Aussies, the Canadians and the Israelis are the only friends we've got left in the world.

Pah! 1812 was a glorious British Victory! Turning back the American rebel invaders in their goal to Annex British North America!

Well, we are 0-for-2 going after Canada -- not examples of U.S. military brilliance by any means. The Brits managed to occupy our capital city during both wars. Odd however, that the pre-20th century RN never was particularly successful fighting in what are now US waters, though they tended to smack most of the other contenders around more or less wherever they found them.

It's hard to sail battleships over mountains.

Oh, and guys, those boys in squares wearing red coats? They withstood 12 charges by French Cavalry.

For the record, the English are not really welcome in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall.

I love this country. We're so up ourselves that we feel the need to put the word Great in our country's name, and have had a great time annoying the rest of the world by driving on the left hand side of the road.

Oh dear, is this what they teach kids these days?

This from a Yorkshireman as well. :wall:

You beat us at the Battle at Reden 1801 where Horatio Nelson stole most of the danish norwegian navy and bombed copenhagen. Dont dare come near denmark.

edit: i suppose it makes up for the time when we invaded your pretty little island.

250 years ago the only thing worse than going to Austraila was hanging.

No change there then :laugh4:

Whilst I realise that the thread has a light-hearted aim, it would be appreciated if the outright country bashing and insults are stopped.

American girls will fall over themselves fighting to get their mitts on the goofiest, palest, skinniest dude with coke bottle glasses at the drop of the word "al-you-min-ee-um". It's just not fair :wall:

Where in the USA does this happen? Where exactly? Im talking which street? Coz Im going there... :2thumbsup:

I've been thinking about this thread all day long, but I can't for the life of me come up with a single thing that's not to like about Britain....:shrug:

I'd love to say;

You, Sir, are a bounder and a cad and I will have satisfaction on the dueling field.

But I won't. :oops:

Could we just give you some IKEA vouchers instead?
Places I don't feel safe in or welcome.
Some parts of Fulham I used to wonder into were right dodge. Never felt at home in Cornwall either, the local store owner (of Cornwall) kept on harping about "eew arg, so yers ere frum lundon. Oooh yull enjuy it ere, were all kelts duwn ere"
Gosh, it was increadibly annoying. But he did a damned fine bacon sandwich.

Britain you are OK on, call it part of England though, and that could cause trouble.

I love Cornwall. My name is Cornish (alas my branch of the family had to leave in a hurry in about 1850 after an incident between my great.....etc grandfather and a dairymaid, who in due coruse became my great....etc grandmother) so I get on fine so long as I tone the Landan accent down a bit. (Sometimes I just pretend to be Australian as a lot of us got transported too.)

Plus, pasties. :2thumbsup: :2thumbsup: Food of the gods. If any other county has a better foodstuff carrying its name I can't think what it is (NB IA, its not Yorkshire pudding. :laugh4: )

The A303 could do with being sorted though.

they spread this silly, painstakingly long (5 DAYS!!! who ever heard of such a thing), boring game called cricket like an std, and to continue the sexual analogy, like their sex, its boring & they are cr@p at it.

they suffer from little nation syndrome, so they had to go around colouring half the globe pink

the royal family (yes William too)

they smell bad

they whine incessantly about everything

Essex slappers

they wore bright red coats and fought in little squares so they were easier to kill

the bill

they deep fry everything

the spontaneously combust if subject to direct sunlight

they say they are speaking english but you cant understand a word that comes out of their mouths

a smiling englishman is a contradiction in terms

their silly little partitioning lines they drew all over the globe has caused most of the worlds wars

did i miss anything

very,very good, I agree fully!

Now to the bone.

You forgot to add

Sucks at Cricket

Sucks at making tea

Can't make Meat Pies

Doesn't play AFL or NRL, only Soccer.

They whinge too much.

Don't care about what we aussies say.

I thought the Dumnonii were one of the smart tribes that co-operated with the Romans on the basis that having to live in villas with central heating and plumbing got more votes than annihilation and having your sheep sold into slavery.

It was the Saxons that shoved them out of what became Devon and Somerset and forced them to become Cornish. And you wonder why they hate the English. :wink:

This thread reminds me of the time my wife asked me " Do I look fat in this dress?" :juggle2:
No matter how I answered I was going to be in the doghouse. Therefore, no comment is my response. :yes:
