If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

Well said, I'll add some Scottish people who have an undue animosity toward English people. This country actually functions well despite it's different parts.

The split thing worries me.
First of all the British flag looks better than the individual flags. It's just ...prettier, that's just personal taste, I suppose.

Devolution is gonna cause more problems than it solves. :bluesad:

I fully agree with you. You don't cut something off just because it's a little different, or because a small minority of people (politicians and Sean Connery)think they'll be better off.

Lots of parts of the UK are different, it doesn't mean you give 'em their own government !


20. There should be a dragon on the British flag...y'know for wales. It would make it look cooler . :teddyr:

I think when the Union Jack was drawn up, Walse had already been part of England for centuries so the "St George's Cross" (Red on white) simply stands for both nations.

But now Wales is a ...um, what is it ?
A principality or a country. The Welsh get kinda upset. I don't want to upset them like I did ghouck :wink:

But a dragon would be cool !!!

I always thought that Britain was a country and the 4 nations alone weren't because they didn't have their own passport. :question:

Actually, I think Devolution has actually largely DECREASED the desire (relatively little as it has been) for Scottish/Welsh independence. It seems to have given a comfortable level of self-government while still retaining the benefits of belonging to a united country.

27.  You guys smuggled opium into China, then started a war with them when they tired to stop you.  Not cool.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

Ed, Ego and Superego

1) The attachment of BBC TV to 70's sitcoms like "Are you being served" and "the good life".  I swear the same damn shows have been on for the whole of my lifetime.

2) The conceit that they know something about fine wines and cuisine, yet they only drink plonk that comes from the Hypermart for 1 euro a bottle.  Or worse cordials made from flowers or some such nastyness. Or maybe thats just MY relatives. 

Man, I must say I miss the place though.  5 years and counting since my last visit.
