What do you think of us Brits

[ParkCungHee]

I wonder what the Brits would say about my old hypothesis that every people in the world has a reason to hate the British.

Mandatory The Man Who Would Be King quote:

Sean Connery:
(We are)not gods, but Englishmen, which is the next best thing!

Must have been tough uttering those words considering he's Shhcottishh himshelf!

You Englishmen claim to have invented football. Be that as it may, you don't play the game very well. How on earth could you lose 0-1 against Northern Ireland. Any decent football nation would at least have scored once against such a modest team.

I can't barely understand your english.

Brits make good wit sparing partners. We like to exchange jokes with them, as they have a good enough humour to respond in a funny and challenging way, but just not good enough to win more than they lose, so we have the satisfaction to be smarter.

 

[ComradeDavo]

I like Britain becoz

1) They sing better than the USAians
2) Not as War/aggressive as the USAians
3) Speak better than most USAians
4) More polite and educated...
5) British humour and comedy are so much funnier than...
6) Better bands
7) British ingenuity

We are polite and educated? Nah.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

I just want to see what you all think of us Brits and what we are good and bad at.

Good at opening Threads inviting opinions and then hammering anyone who does:

We not that bad on hooliganism now in fact there are many countries who have it worse now then we do, although we do like to enjoy our holidays

We are polite and educated? Nah.

That's because the British Empire is fresh in the mind. Give it another 1,000 years or so, then everyone will be far more sentimental about it. Like they are with the Roman or Mongal Empires.

How on earth could you lose 0-1 against Northern Ireland. Any decent football nation would at least have scored once against such a modest team.

Perhaps it's because we're ****?

Brits are more humble than the French. We live in reality, whereas this proves that the French live in their dreams.

Hmmm curry.

Agreed, you live in reality, and its mediocrity compared to us make you think you are humble. In a way it's true, you are humbled.
And we do have a dream life compare to you. Just knowing you are British should be an awake nightmare. I'm really impressed. As Churchill said you will never stop fighting in WWII, you carry one, and struggle with your life, against the overwhelming odds of your Britishness that should drag you down.

Nice prose, I assume you are talking about the South obviously. No Man who has witnessed the Majestic North could utter such words.

You mean... People from the South can even get worse than you ?

But seriously, I agree about the Majestic North. Scotland is a nice place, I liked it when I visited back in 1997.

Even read Dickens? He wrote those stories about out dank urchin infested capital last year. The 1800's thing is a typo.

There's "North" and "too North", Scotland is the latter. You're entering the land of the Celts there. They talk of past glories more than the French

I knew it! English people couldn't be so nice and welcoming! They were Celts in fact!

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

You thought English people were being warm and welcoming to... a Frenchman?

 

[Steph]

You thought English people were being warm and welcoming to... a Frenchman?

We indeed saw a great difference between the welcoming in England and in Scotland. You know the old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

It's just because you obviously weren't English. Although you're lucky they didn't mistake you for a Wannabe-French-Cockney.

You know the old saying "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

No way can a Celt appreciate the subtle logic of such things, anything more than "plunge an axe in thyne enemies head" is lost on them.

 

[Ansar]

Your english accent is sometimes hard to understand, but sounds cool.

Like when you british words, like "jolly good".

 

[Ingvina Freyr]

Aah, so the old French/Scottish bond is being retied? With an Elizabeth on the English throne I guess you can say history repeats itself.

 

[sysyphus]

I see Britain as a nation filled with rich heritage, beautiful landscape, strong character, fascinating cities, interesting culture and a bunch of very very snotty people.

 

[Brighteye]

As Churchill said you will never stop fighting in WWII,

Never to stop fighting is better than to have surrendered.
