I don't have time to go through 10 pages of thread, so hopefully I haven't already been ninja'd...

Spoiler: this guy

British things I HATE?

Their feeling of superiority over Americans because they "invented" the English language (even though they just bastardized it from other languages) and they fact that they think all Americans are fat rednecks.

The Beatles. I fucking hate the Beatles. Except George Harrison...he's cool in my book.

David Tennant

Ditto. That and the awesome breakfast combo of Beans and toast! not to mention Fish and Chips, as well as, Sausages and Mash. Anyone who says brit food sucks has no taste buds!

 

[EmilShmiengura]

The way British always "assess the situation" everywhere (then do something that's probably bonkers) . The fact that you have the best and the worst women I have ever met. The fact that in season there's not a bolder in France whithout two Britts leaning over it and moaning about "the horrid tea they serve here" . Byron, Keats, Shelly, god-damn bloody GEORGE ORWELL! Oh, and if nobody said Keira Knightley yet, then we, my fellow male Escapist may have a problem as a comunity

Football on the weekend, our comedy and two pies, double mash with loads of liqour.

Hell yeah, proper pie and mash.

Good natured complaining.

Casual swearing which is almost part of the dialect where I live.

Eccentricity which we seem strangely proud of.


And Robert Rankin.

 

[Blackflame140]

Top Gear, IT crowd, and killer accents

 

[Wintermoot]

Docotr Who and Top Gear!

 

[SoulIsTheGoal]

Oscar Wilde, the Longbow, the Spitfire, Thin Lizzy (even though Scott Gorham is American), yorkshire pudding and Laney amps. British and awesome.

 

[Arcane Azmadi]

Monty Python, the Goodies and this odd little chap you might have heard of called Benjamin Crowshaw.

 

[Karakasa]

Curry and Tea. The perfect mix.

 

[Ze_Reaper_Of_Zeath]

Accents, Top Gear, Beatles, Monthy Python.

 

[Tallim]

[Priddo]

Fish and Chips. Don't know if they're as good or better than here, but they're damn good down here in Australia.

 

[Shady_T]

Chicks with British accents, obviously.

Timesplitters is a close 2nd.

 

[Bigsmith]

Top Hats.
As a matter of fact, I'm wearing one now. Not a fake, plastic-y, new one, but a really old one, at least 100 years old. Probably more.

And I'll top that off with the fact that I'm wearing a bowler hat, it's new, but not a crappy, plastic-y fake.

Stephen fry and how people react when they hear your accent on on-line games.

it's the accent
no I'm serious I love the way you people talk
everything is better when you say it in a British accent

my least favorite thing about Brittan is America...
I hate to say it but you dropped the ball on that one guys

I would love to know what the world would be like if we still had our Empire.

 

[Enemy Of The State]

Doctor Who, Stephen Fry, Blackadder ,The Beatles, Red Dwarf, Monty Python ,Tea... and much more

Also Jeremy Clarkson Top Gear
