It would seem babys are the new tamagotchi amongst the British youth these days too.

Yep, that's very well put. 15 year olds get pregnant, not by accident, but because they "really want a baby." Then they do it again a few months later because they realise it's easy making their own mother look after their baby, and they get bored of the first one. And no one complains. Doctors don't say "you're fifteen, why the fuck are you pregnant," they say "aah poor you, it must be hard. You're a real hero."

It just fits in with my theory that chavs are just humans that run on pure instinct. Once females get old enough, their hormones kick in and it's time to have a baby! Of course, the males have no objection, they get to do what comes naturally to them too - spread their genes everywhere.
It's pretty much the same way that all animals behave.

It is a pity though that with all you have the country is riddled with drugs.

Yeah, damned drugs. What kind of loser uses them anyway?

Worst food: Nah, not quite. We've got some good stuff. Yorkshire puddings. Gravy...

Yeah, I guess we're not that bad when it comes to munch.

Worst music: We have some bad pop music, yeah, but also some damn good music. Muse, Placebo, Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs... remember the Beatles? We have one of the best, if not the best music industry in the world.

---

Beatles yes, but i'm talking about NOW. That's the thing, pop music (ie. music for the public) dominates the industry and it's all just SO FUCKING BAD :eek: .
The definition of good music nowadays is anything succesfully manufactured to the point it looks like an ounce of talent was involved in it's creation. Muse, etc are all acquired tastes. Think of Dizzee Rascal, Girls Aloud, the mother-fucking crazy frog, it's a joke, music is dead. There are no music legends, only celebrities, and they're only ever in the paper for having an operation or getting pregnant. :mad:

Then again, I guess that's also the case in America. Oh well... Girls Aloud :eek:!

Worst TV: That's not true at all. As with music, there's some bad stuff, but look around the rest of the world... have you seen Japanese TV?? American TV isn't much better. We have some quality programmes.

---

Well, maybe we don't have THE worst TV, but our TV is still crap. What can I say, I was in a negative mood and scrolled through everything I hate about our lovely country. I should cut us some slack, I compared the humour in Friends with British comedies such as The Office and Fawlty Towers and it was like comedy for the mentally handicapped. Not too complicated now, their heads might explode :D .

Lousy Police: I think we've got very good police. They don't think they're some kind of elite crime-fighting squad like they do in some other countries where they all see themselves as some kind of John McClane-ish hero, and they are well trained enough to handle situations without drawing guns on people.

---

Gonna have to stick to my guns here. Police in every area of Britain i've ever lived in have been fucking useless. You just never, EVER see them anywhere, and when you do there's 7 of them crowded around some timid pakistani bloke. :mad: BOLLOCKS!! Just my opinion from experience mind.

Sorry if I offended anyone just then, it's late and i'm tired with too much unburnt energy :p !

Got another one:

The ability to spot great musical talent and nurture it, even though an artists home country just cannot see it. Case in point; Jimi Hendrix

yes there are many good musicians that existed or that still exist in Britain

The clash
jimi hendrix
beatles

and more (i dont like the beatles but still..)

1 - crack

The British music industry is still, as I said, one of the best, if not the best. There are so many new and talented bands coming from Britain these days.

the english accent is one of the most annoying accents ive ever heard

Lol... where are you from? There's no such think as an "English accent." It's like saying "American accent," there's so many different kinds.

If you mean the kind of "English" accent you get on TV, I understand, but it's not real.

Americans think all British people speak like Queen Elizabeth, really posh. If they heard me speak they wouldn't know where the hell I was from lol. Britain has got a lot of different accents especially for the size of it. They are so different-

London (cockney)
Scottish
Welsh
Birmingham (Brummy)
Liverpool (scouse)
Yorkshire
Newcastle (geordie)

And many others which I've probably never even heard of.

So Az, which accent is it that annoys you?
