Thread for the British only!

To our UK friends, I am starting to think you guys may be a bit mad.

I seen the "Great 12 hour Lawnmower Race" on TV today, then thought about how you guys sent us Johnny Rotton and what was that band he was in, can't quite remember the name at this time.

Well, I am starting to think that the madness all started in the UK, then was imported into the states with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Are you guys here to ruin Digital Point Forums also?

 

Ruin? Enhancing you mean...

Remember there would be no DP without the British inventing the internet in the first place.

 

Sounds like you better start a thread on that one Tops, because we here in the states would argue with you on who started the internet.

We all know that Al Gore started it when he and his old high school created the first intranet, then expanded it into the internet.

When you start the "who invented the internet" thread I can prove that we created it.

 

Johnny Rotton was in the Sex Pistols.

Didn't we invent football(soccer) too, and beer, oh and didn't we invent the US?

 

We didn't invent the U.S but we did colonise it

 

Yea, we had to boot your arses out, the King and Queen wanting too much taxation from us poor souls.

We are still ruled by the UK, but by proxy, we fight wars together, you guys can not get rid of Tony Blair, we are having a bit of a time getting rid of the Bush family.

 

It's not about the Bushes and the Blairs.. It's about those who are in charge behind the public scenes.

Back on-topic... Being import here myself I can confirm there are a fair few nutters around here. Well, especially around Europe you always see the Brits behaving.. err... slightly out of the ordinary. But they're a fine bunch and the average intelligence seems at least to be the square root of the Yanks' average . (To avoid mathematical counter-jokes; this average is above 1.)

 

Gota be the punk-rockers that ruined the British

 

Here are a few more...
Depth Charges
Electric Motor
Internal Combustion Engine
Penicillin
Steam Engine
Viagra
The Enigma Machine

But yes, the brits are a little crazy...
Ever been to the costa del sol in peak season... *shudder*

 

lol costa del sol is TAME compared to costa brava. Now the travel agents have stopped doing package holidays there.. well Going Places have, that's how bad it is - even the Spanish wine manufactors won't have the name 'Costa Blanca' on it's wine anymore! .. anyway I'm degressing.

Didn't we fly the first plane too? Or is my history naff?

 

Nah it was the mods and rockers that did that.. (so I've heard )

 

The problem with the British is they all think they are pirates, just taking whatever they stumble upon.

Forget about being Pirates, those days are over for you guys, you now must be honest and earn a hard living.

No more easy rock-n-roll money. No more pirate adventures and plundering, no more easy money.

No more taking advantage of us poor Americans, no more Lording over us.

 

Us Brits have behaved badly, we stole 2/3 of the world, raped and pillaged, then gave back empty carcasses to the inhabitants.

Take Australia! Please Full of ball and chainers sent out to prevent being hanged. Now look at them.

Murcans are not much better, look what they did to the Native Americans, pushed them outuntil they were more or less no more.

But we brits are proud, we know all about puke (re-invented by rotten) on this note I would like to say farewell to Johnny Ramone who died this week after a long battle with cancer.

Murcans can't do anything right, they just throw money at it. And dont even get me started on Tony Bloody Blair, we got into enough trouble all those years ago when defacing the labour party website

 

Have a great trip Shawn.

Well, my grandparents were Irish, and my parents English, but I'm English, because I've never really got to know the Irish side of my family. It's a pretty cool story which I won't bore you with but my grandad was brought up by nuns, how cool is that LOL

Us Brits are proud people.. and also know how to drink beer, proper beer, not that crap US bottled stuff

 

That's a first... Never heard a guy from the US say he was into those beers.

Good on you Shawn - I suggest you check out some of the Wytchwood (Sp?!?) beers next time your over here - That's my tipple - Hobgoblin

 

I like both of those but can't beat a case of Naty Ice.. lol

 

Can you get Newcastle Brown over then?

Is it easy to find?
