Since I was young I have been fascinated by inventors and inventions and since the Brits invented almost anything of any use I am proud to be part of that. The Hovercraft has got to be one of my absolute top faves.
If you're a brit and proud then feel free to shout it out and tell us why?

im not a brit but i dig you blokes especially your twists. the accent that comes outta their north gives me a standin election.
I love being English. Makes me feel like a man. WE have the best army in the world, the SAS (Special Air Serive) SBS (Special Boat Service)
And best of all. Were closer to Amsterdam so we can get their quiker.
I just love England, and am very proud to be British.
Saying that, I'd love to live in America, just for a while to see what its like.

"Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a
Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a
Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch
American shows on a Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all?

About Special Forces. The SAS are regarded by the majority of the world to be the best.
US army rangers do the same length of training and physical fitness as the standard British infantry battallion soldier. And that IS checkable.
US army Delta Force is based on the SAS the creator of Delta Force spent a year with the British army's SAS and when he returned to America tried to setup a force based on the British model the result being Delta Force.
US Navy SEAL's also only spend 6 months in training the equivalent of the British army Combat Soldier length of training.
"German outfit GSG9" is highly limited in what they do, Both organisations of Delta force and GSG9 in terror hostage situations have failed majorly Delta force in rescuing hostages from there US embassy 1979. GSG failed in rescuing the Jewish Olympian competitors in 1972.
At around the same time the SAS carried out a highly similar operation viewed on national tv by the british public from the outside 1980 only 1 hostage killed and nearly all terrorists neutralised in a full frontal assault. Extremely similar in nature to the ones carried out by Delta Force and GSG9.
The British tend to make up for what we lack in resources, and superior equipment with better training, and fitter soldiers.
How as it you say Da haze meister? They couldn't hold a fucking candle to the SAS?

I was born in the north of England and I remember my dad saying parts of this to me.I had no idea it was a song :cool: :D :dance:
Hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, drink all, pay nowt.
It's a long time remember
from January to December
So hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt
And if ever thy does owt fer nowt
Always do it fer th'sen.
When I was a right young lad
Me father said t'me
Seems to me thy's growin' up
Now what's thy goin' t'be?
It all depends upon th'self
It's only up to thee
I won't say much to you again
But take this tip from me...
Hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, drink all, pay nowt.
It's a long time remember
from January to December
So hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt
And if ever thy does owt fer nowt
Always do it fer th'sen.
Save thy pennies while thy can
And just do what I say,
If thy doesn't keep thy 'ead
Tha'll 'ave some brass one day.
It all depends upon th'self
It's only up to thee
But there's one thing thy can reckon on
Thy won't get owt from me.
Hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, drink all, pay nowt.
It's a long time remember
from January to December
So hear all, see all, say nowt,
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt
And if ever thy does owt fer nowt
Always do it fer th'sen.

If your a big Monty Python fan I suggest trying to get hold of Ripping Yarns. Its a series by Micheal Palin and Terry Jones. I much prefer it to any Python stuff.
In Particualr I recommend Escape From Stalagluft 112B and Tompkinson's School Days.

Englands ok, it aint gr8, most of the places you walk to are inhabited by a new breed of youngsters known as the ''chavs'' or the ''rudeboys'', who think they deserve ''respect'' cuz this is ''there'' town..............there's too many buildings, people are in to much of a rush, and generally quite intense, we got good roads though, we are closer to the dam, and because we're british, we can exploit this very wealthy economy and cost of living, to piss off to nearly anywhere in the world, and because the pound is so powerful, (and the british passport acceptable nearly anywhere you go) live like millionaires on a waiters salary in sum places :D
Buuuuuuut....the one thing I do love about being English, is the humour, just a personal opinion, but NO1 makes me laugh like an english person, the sarcastically blunt bastards:thumbsup:, and between all the twats, the chavs, the rudebwoys and the lager louts, there are some damn friendly people, with some twisted sense of humour, no other country in the world could you go up to ure mate and go 'How are you? You fuckin tart :thumbsup:' and get the reply 'I'm alright man :D, wanna spliff?'

Man you only have to look around at Scotland, Wales and Ireland to see how beautiful this country could be, and cities are everywhere, and every1 needs to deal with them at some point for either work or shopping etc etc.
An yeh cities are shite aren't they? I'm gonna go check out the lake district over the next few weeks with a healthy slice of ganj, and there's also a waterfall in Wales which is the biggest in Europe that I need to see. Plus the second biggest shark in the world (first bein the whale shark) swims up the west coast of England between october and feb, starting off at Cornwall, when I can brave the freezing cold waters I will be checking that out aswell, England aint without its charm, but for natural beauty there are shitloads of places better, but the people, no no no, could only cut them from English cloth.
