United Kingdom appreciation thread.

[QUOTE="Film-Guy"]This thread needs more discussions about Food from the U.K. Jaffa Cakes FTW:DLJS9502_basic

Pub food is awesome and Cadbury chocolate is made of greatness.

TC your geography is a bit shoddy.

UK = England + Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland

We are - but considering those convicts have grown into the nation that everyone wants to party with, we are cool with it.

Props to the greatest country withing the union... Northern Ireland! Woo! :P

And to clear up some rumours around here:

- If you call a guy from Northern Ireland British, he WILL NOT kill you unless he's a nationalist. However the unionists over here are very proud to part of the UK. I mean they have been fighting for the past 40 years to stay in. :|

[QUOTE="clayron"][QUOTE="SpidersRMe"]It's beome clear that most people on GS think that Britain, England and the UK are all the same thing.ThePartisan

You thought England was the same thing as the U.K ?

I know I came in here expecting a UK thread, but its an English thread, we Scottish dont get the two confused, we arent that arrogant. Things like this **** me off big time to be quite honest, "I know sean connery isnt Brittish" YES HE IS HES ****** Scottish, we are part of Britain too..

Aaw, there's so much love in OT today. I appreciate UK for Top Gear, Monthy Python and their OT posters.Hungry_bunny

There's not as much shame in that as losing to the Saffers.

And hey it must suck to have your criminals frequently beat you at games you invented :P

Just so we're clear to outsiders - this is not flaming. This is how our countries exchange pleasantries.

"So why are you here then, mate?"
"To watch the rugby innit mun. Wales vs Australia comon!"
"Wales eh? Where in England is that?"

You bastards. -_- (Joke, for mods to know... As Crane said, this is how we exchange pleasantries... ^_^).

Speaking of rugby, I've heard many stories online of Welsh rugby fans travelling to an Australia match. The conversations go a bit like:

"So why are you here then, mate?"
"To watch the rugby innit mun. Wales vs Australia comon!"
"Wales eh? Where in England is that?"

You bastards. -_- (Joke, for mods to know... As Crane said, this is how we exchange pleasantries... ^_^).

The Welsh? Are they the fat ones that kept taking their shirts off and singing "Jerusalem?"

Fine, maybe not the 'norm', but many people don't find the American accent to be foreign to them. I still stand by the fact that we're adopting aspects of their language.SolidSnake35

whoever said england cant beat austrailia at anything. We beat you at rugby this year and 4 years ago. 20-17 sound familiar

anyway, UK ftw, we might have our issues, but not all of us have such posh accents (someone once heard me online in game and said i sounded Quintessentially British (l loled)), but we have epic music, very very nice countryside, nice weather (rarely extreme) decent food, and we once had a huge empire (that leaded to Aus, US, Canada, NZ)

oh, and Top Gear

Good ol' Blighty. We gave most of the best music ever to the world in one way or another. And our reputation for tolerating other cultures is known far and wide.

PS. It's pronounced "al-oo-min-ee-um", colour has a "U" in it, they're called "trousers", and chips > fries.
