Re: UK'S SNOW CHAOS
As long as you crush the snow tight enough you get a pretty hard 'ball' anyway, my one friend has an awesome throw on him, he's got a great aim and he gets a hell of a lot of power into it, the snowball will suddenly curl into you sharply building up speed throughout the curl, even with jeans on you can really feel it if he hits you in the leg...

Re: UK'S SNOW CHAOS
I rather feel that misses the point, causing actual pain is not really what I call fun.
FYI, you can tell your teacher that "Britain" is geographically incorrect, because Britannia is the main island, "Greater Britannia" is the whole bunch, including Ireland really.Of course these days we don't usually point that last bit out.

Re: UK'S SNOW CHAOS
The term Great Britain is used to differentiate between Brittany and the island to the north. Nothing to do with propaganda or jingoism.
Your teacher is an idiot who should know better. It's amazing that they let these cretins loose on kids. No wonder an A level is the equivalent of the 11+ these days.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: UK'S SNOW CHAOS
I stand in awe at your intellectual prowess. Oh hang on...
http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/home/scotland/britain.htmlGreat Britain is the term used for the island containing the contiguous nations¹ of England, Scotland and Wales. Great Britain is used to distinguish Britain from Brittania Minor, or Brittany, in France
It's not often you're right, however you're wrong again.

It's all England to me
This thread makes me want to make a snowball. I feel like my childhood was somehow robbed because I didn't make on of these things. We used to play in the dirt and cactus.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: UK'S SNOW CHAOS
I forgot to mention your lack of humour which explains a lot.It's not often you're right, however you're wrong again.
Anyhoo, always glad to debate someone as grumpy as myself. How was it for you?
Oh wait, you never knew you were being had..

Ya know i think he might have just been making a little joke about the state of the country... but out of interest what economics did you study at the age of 11 ?

Re: UK'S SNOW CHAOS
Turns out IA was right and I was wrong, oops. Actually, it would be "Brittania Maior" in Latin I believe, which is Greater Britain to go with Lesser Britain. Given that it has been about 1500 years since anyone said that in everyday conversation, however, it's not surprising it's been shortened really.Nope. If you were right, it would be called Greater Britain. But then you never are.And they call me grumpy.Are you a girl?

Oh, and I'm not a girl, I just don't like gratuitous violence, if I want to prove myself manly I shall chop down a tree.

Ironic really, given that I live with a Welsh girl.

I think ironic would be being a pig farmer and living with a Jewish or Muslim girl...
Sheep and Welsh go together like lamb and mint.
