How the British Work1 pint 'Bitterness over lost global influence'
2 measures of Curry
1.5 cups of 'Irrational fondness of an outdated Monarchy'
stir in 70% 'whining'
Simmer in 'Splendid EU Monetary Isolation'
Sprinkle with 'Inability to project a meaningful foreign policy any further than the Lake District'
Serve with 'two-faced self-righteousness' made possible only through the sure knowledge
that someone else will do all the work, pay all the bills, and get none of the credit
Sip gently as you are ignored as ineffectual, slightly eccentric and generally useless.
PS: We saved your collective asses twice in the 20th century - next time, we're keeping it.
There, doesn't that feel good?

Geoff Hurst - Krufty VirginianNot just an american. A bona-fide backwoods Virginian, a hatchet-equipped, scent-enhanced, consonant-dropping Virginian.
Now be good.

I don't recallshooting our own troops, which the Americans seem very good at in every recent conflict.
Oh and don't believe the movies (U571 for example), you're just like the sub put on at the end of the game and claiming to have won it even though you're team were 50 - 5 ahead.
You're not better than the Brits, there's just more of you stupid enough to get in the way.

I don't recallany Brits picking up guns, being as they were too busy hiding under their couches, sucking lollies and mewling for their old schoolmarms to come give them proper spankings.
Oops, did I say that?
It's OK, don't worry, nobody is expecting you to do anything, just stay home and tend your gouty foot, Mr. Brittania and slurp down a few more (Imperial) gallons of marmite. Bloop!
And if you taunt me again, I shall become even more of a jingoistic fuckwit.
This was a rather silly thread to start out with, anyhoo.
