The North / South Divide

[Che Guava]

"Commonwealth"?
More like "Sponge off Britain's Wealth".

Now what exactly are we sponging off Britain these days? Not food or dental technology....

What these so called "Winter" games? I have heard of them but They seem to be elusive, but noone seems to watch these so called games? Please tell me about them.

How do you explain snow to an Aussie? I guess its like sheep's wool, only cold, so watch where you stick your.....

Considerably more successful than darn Sarth. European Cup anyone?

For Instance- Peter crouch or Emile Heskey.

Intelligence, reputation, beer, women and everything else.

Sheep's wool is not actually white, but is has a slight yellowish colour to it.

In Australi we only every do the best. We have the finest sheep in the world and we produce 1/4 of the wool in the world so you better show some respect to us.

 

[BCLG100]

still should be careful about yellow snow....

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

As does the Canadian snow

oh, it's all in jest..! Stop by sometime with a woollen afghan, and I'll trade you for some maple syrup

AHA i got the snow joke in before you

Sheep's wool is not actually white, but is has a slight yellowish colour to it.

Is it true that you also call wool "bugger grip material" in Australia? Sheeps ears are called "bugger handles"?

Anyway, nice to know you've got so up close and personal to make such a detailed (and loving?) inspection.

You must be dreamin' *

I'm sorry, did the person from our biggest colony say anything?

 

[Serutan]

No, I didn't say "anything". I said you lot were full of !@#$.

BTW, this has been hilarious reading!

I was going to make a thread on this subject a few minutes ago but I realised: a) I'm in too flippant a mode today b) I would have made it UK specific, which would have been boring and exclusionary and c) That you're a northern bastad who'd never have got it anyway.

before I read the rest of this thread, I'd just like to laugh at this.

I'm from deepest darkest South England, and we consider anyone North of the South Downs(a range fo hills on our doorstep) To be a Northerner, and therefore somewhat suspicious

English brothers!
Cease fighting amongst your bretheren, and let's focus our hate where it is needed!

Like those sheep shaggin' Taffies.

Don't forget them leary Sasanack hating Scots

Northern monkey, Southern jessy. If your from the North you're little more than a proto humanoid, if your from the South your gay. At least the North being monkeys thing makes sense. If the whole of the South of England is gay, how come we outnumber you so much

This thread would probably have been closed long ago, if any of the mods had a clue about what y'all were on about.

And as near as I can tell, it's a tit-for-tat reminiscent of thieves arguing about which among them is the most honorable.

Indeed but to me they're all wrong headed, being Northern as they are

Don't worry this sort of thing could go on for twenty different threads and you still would have no idea what we're going on about, 2000 years of wierd social stereotyping has pretty much developed it's own language

Fries are sold in McDonalds and places like that.
What we refer to as 'chips' are generally thicker.

Much like Northerners

It's not just North and South that hate each other. Lancashire & Yorkshire, Wigan & St. Helens, even two schools in my town hate each others guts.
It's what being B RITISH is all about.

As well as having rivals such as the Scottish, Aussies, French, Germans, Welsh, Argentinians, ect, ect

Indeed when we weren't fighting and beating the rest of the world we were fighting each other on the fields of England.

No argument here, our footballers are b****es.

Northern footballers less so since all you get down South are over paid primadonnas and Frenchmen. (Primadonna Frenchmen)

Two words Manchester United, hell even the Mancs don't support them, what country are they from again?

 

[nonconformist]

Shut up, if you were any futher south, you'd be French!

 

[Sidhe]

I'll give a nod to Oxford having been there, you are almost civilised, and hey don't bring the French thing into it, that's just below the belt

If being the operative word.

 

[Whomp]

You guys have issues! However, I'm here to help if you need someone truly impartial (being an American I'm willing to stick my nose in everywhere) to sort this mess out.

Don't you even have rivalry between teams in the Americas? Derby games anything like that?

Southside hard working, salt of the earth, knowledgable, World Series Champion Chicago White Sox versus Northside yuppie, cell phone totin', no knowledge, no World Series winning for 98 year whiny baby Chicago Cubs. .

Did I really post that?

 

[Whomp]

Did I really post that?

Probably not but I didn't want to give the northerners any credit for asking it.

 

[tombeef]

there are plenty of bitter rivalries in the U.S. We just don't go throwing flares at the athletes (and over here soccer, or non-american football, is dead).

As for north south over here, there was this little trifle called the Civil War...
