Your Favourite British Thing(s).

[Woodsey]

I find they irritate my nipples so I tend not to use them, although they look pretty.

You do realise you're supposed to eat them... right?

Oooh... You meant those pasties... Got 'cha.

 

[ThreeWords]

Me! Less arrogantly, my girlfriend.

Har har har.

 

[WorldCritic]

The accent, and right now I am cursing my heritage due to being only half English. DAMN YOU ANCESTORS!

No, healthy teeth are determined by lack of cavities and gum disease, in that regard, the British have the healthiest teeth. The fastest, best looking car in the world is nothing if the engine is broken...

But nobody sees the engine. =P

More seriously, you may have healthy teeth, but what matters is if they LOOK healthy too. That's why people often see the British as having bad teeth.

Anyway I've got nothing against you guys, even my gf is British. ^_^

 

[Steve Butts]

Irony.

Close second? The Beatles.

 

[eels05]

I'm gonna go with 'Black Books',Dylan Moran is a comic genius.
Also Britsh Bulldogs are ridiculously cute when puppys.

 

[Acting like a FOOL]

The people nuff said. I love em to death.

 

[Amphoteric]

I would be completely shocked if this hadden't already been posted 50 times.

 

[Washboard]

In England, we have the best comedy, we're the worlds best at sarcasm and self deprecation in the name of humour.

Also the fact we're allowed to make jokes about the Welsh.

And the French.

...and the germans, and the americans, and the scottish, and the irish, pretty much anyone really


Oh btw, Pork Scratchings

 

[floppylobster]

Your British girls with their British accents (maybe not the the Northern ones or the Eastenders but most other variants).

And your manners.

 

[Jack Cheal]

The Beatles, Our Sarcasm, and our accent.
god love it.

 

[Bran1470]

british accents

 

[Shoggoth2588]

The Harry Potter book series, Terry Pratchett, The Office and, Monty Python's Flying Circus (their movies too I suppose)

I hope to add jellied eel to the list but it's hard to come by in the U.S. Same with pasties which also look great.

Also Cradle of Filth. I still like that band.

[AMMO Kid]

I'd say monty python but people said that already... How about the castles? I grew up in the UK and I loved all the history and wonderful ruins you could go visit.

 

[Terramax]

Apart from that, I'm not sure there's anything else about Britain to be proud about.

 

[Lawllerskater]

The whole America outcome of the British colonists. That's all.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Simon Pegg

How can you say Simon Pegg and not Nick Frost. Don't get me wrong I prefer pegg to frost but they are a duo.

they are like batman and robin. Robin (Frost) gets forgotten all the time.

OT: I like the way way we apologise for everything.

Don't get me wrong, I love, LOOOVE, Pegg and Frost as a duo, and I find Frost to be a great comic actor, but I had already listed Pegg, Wright, and Shaun. I guess I didn't want half of my list to be from the same movie. I could have put Hot Fuzz, but I guess I didn't want to give the impression that most of what I like from Britain was all about the Pegg/Frost/Wright trio.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

I'm thinking...has to be the stiff upper lip and black sabbath.

 

[Amberella]

My boyfriend.
