Your Favourite British Thing(s).

[spookydom]

We are a nation who are more than aware that all our best stuff has already happend. Our only consolation is that Australians are much bigger tossers than we are.

I would love to see you explain that one, mate.

Prisoner cell block H. /End

You do realise that show was called Prisoner, but we renamed it so that it wouldn't be confused with your own Prisoner show? And the thanks we get is that we're all tossers? Well gee buddy, thanks.

Hey! I'm not your buddy guy Plus we have all your exported soaps. I think you did ok out of us really.

Monty Python, Red Dwarf, and your sexy accents.

Comedy. For people who are often considered to be cold and reserved, the British tend to produce some of the finest comedians the world has ever seen. Heck, Rowan Atkinson and the Monty Python troupe alone deserve entire monuments to be built in their honour for how much they contributed to Britain's recognition around the world.

Although, to be honest, Britain has some awesome actors in general.

The slang, definitely the slang.

My favorite British creation... is Australia.
thank you for making us, we don't need you anymore.

 

[elbrandino]

Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Alan Moore, Douglas Adams, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, and all things Monty Python (yes, i know Terry Gilliam is American). and plenty of other stuff. British comedy in general.

and the tea. oh god, how could i forget tea?!

Don't forget fish and chips. But yeah pretty much all of that.

 

[Jaidenator]

I went to England and Europe on a school trip in June, I loved London.

 

[Comrade Mateo]

My experiences show their their the only ones who can keep up to my drinking, so that's an attribute.

Also, all the ones I personally know are ridiculously cool, so that's good I guess.

Monthy Pyhton
Douglas Adams
Tolkien
Iron Maiden
Led Zeppelin

 

[The Stonker]

But anywho, what I love about good old England.
The people.
The beer.
Stephen Fry.
Ricky Gervais.
Hugh Laurie.
The queen (You have to admit she's pretty awesome)
My relatives there (awesome people).
and tea.
Plus biscuits and crumpets.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

The fact that your countries National grid runs, like 40% on Nuclear power. I don't know why but that impresses me. Other than that, British Humor, Top Gear, Yahtzee, and the English Language. Plus.....women with British accents are so ridiculously GODDAMN Hot!

 

[Sulgoth]

Earl Grey tea... hey its caffeine and it's better than incense for making a room smell nice.
Sue me.

 

[starwarsgeek]

The Beatles and Doctor Who!

I like how people go on about how much booze the brits drink, and we don't really care. We know we do, we just get on with it.

An i agree with the comedy, i always hear about foreign people saying we are funny.

And that we are thee most moany faced buggers on the plannet. Too hot, too cold, we want snow, too much snow, where's the sun ahh there it is , now where the shade? I find it amusing.


I'm Scottish by the way so i'm allowed to say these things about Britain

Fuck yeah High Five! Or some such other pseudo American celebration.

The thing I love most about Britain and Scotland in particular is not the fact there are pubs, but the fact there are a disproportionate number of pubs. In fact I live in the hell hole that is Coatbridge and not five minutes walk up the road from where I live(which is the literal edge of Coatbridge) there are 5 pubs, 4 of them are on the same side of the street. About 10 minutes walk from the last pub, still walking away from my house there are 5 club/bars and another pub.if you take the long way back you will encounter another 5 pubs on the way before reaching the street with 5 pubs on it which is the only southbound way out of Coatbridge.

In short there are 11 pubs and 5 clubs within walking distance of entrance to Coatbridge, not to mention the grange hotel which is also right at the entrance and which also has a bar.

I also quite like the fact we take patriotism to ridiculous levels at any chance we get.
I wouldn't also like to mention that the goddamned snow is back here and it will surely do my tits in.
