| | | EF safety valve (aka - why do you hate the British)
Due to the drama on the other forum, I thought I'd start this thread to allow the Swiss members to vent and complain about Brits and the British (notwithstanding the fact that the OP in the other complaint thread was not British).
So, what do you hate about Britain and the British?

God, i hate the way they queue!
They just stand around and waste time!
And who the h*ll came up with the idea of putting mint sauce on lamb?! Have they no culinary taste at all!?
Might i just add, that the Americans are all so loud, and the New Zealanders have absolutely no dress sense.
The Australians? They're just all damned sexy! Thick as a 2 x 4, but damned sexy...

I hate the way the Brits have such weird words... like "Chavs". wtf is that?

All people before that were direct descendents of the Celts. There are only 7 real British people left and they're kept next to the remaining Smallpox samples in a lab in Texas.

Ed., having not read the entire thread first time around, I now realise the Brit bashing was opened up to all! *Blush*.

Reason: Not reading the entire thread and therefore getting it wrong!

Has the Brit-bashing thread turned into Icelandic-bashing thread? 
Back on topic: Some hate the English. I don’t. They’re just wankers.
| Quote: | | | | | Despite reasonably good weather, many of the marines developed severe seasickness[...]
Meanwhile, Marines on Berwick were being ordered aboard Fearless, which would take them to the harbour. The seasickness and inexperience of the troops were causing delays and the officers were becoming frustrated. Just before five o'clock in the morning, Fearless, loaded with around 400 marines, set out for the harbour. A small crowd had assembled, including several policemen still waiting for the customs boat. The British consul had received advance notice of the invasion and was waiting with his associates to assist the troops when they arrived. Uncomfortable with the crowd, Consul Shepherd turned to the Icelandic police. "Would you mind ... getting the crowd to stand back a bit, so that the soldiers can get off the destroyer?" he asked. "Certainly," came the reply. | | | | |  |

| | | | | What makes you lot get off on this kind of thread? It kind of typifies the mentality that is "sometimes" prevalent here, whereby one person gets a headkicking by the crowd. Does it make you feel superior to bash one nationality? Well I hope youre getting something out of this, otherwise its a total waste of space rather than a huge waste of space.
Labelling 65 odd million people wankers is quite frankly embarassingly crass for the writer, mate I feel for your acute embarassment for having written it. Im British, Im proud of it, it could be a lot worse , and we have done an awful lot of good in this world, so Eat My ST George Cross,Bulldog,Red White and Blue, God Save the Queen Shorts! Good Day to you all. |
