Does Brittania still rule the waves?

[100%]

i thought surfers ruled the waves?

so does Britain whom has cold as ice water still rule the liquid?
and if not what does Brittania actally rule?
(other than fishnchips)


I wish I was in London, walkin' in the rain
I wish I was in London, ooh I really miss the rain
Oh, just take me home again

I wish I was in England, I really miss the Queen
I wish I was in England, ooh I really miss the Queen
Oh, just take me home again

What happened to the Empire? There's nothing in the Bank
They gave away the Empire, without a word of thanks
Oh just blame it on the Yanks

So give me rule Brittania, Brittania rules the waves
I live in California, but it's really not the same
Oh, so take me home again

Oh, please take me home again
Oh, so take me home again...

Vosper Thorneycroft LTD, has offered plans to the British Navy
http://www.sheringhamsurf.com/data/seawraith1.jpg
"Sea Wraith" will utilize a radar absorbing composite superstructure and deflecting angled design to achieve stealth. High speed electric motors will make it very quiet.
Sea Wraith will take stealth a step further, using artificially generated mist to disguise it as a patch of fog. This cloud of mist would visually mask the ship. At the same time, it would prevent infrared sensors from detecting "hot" spots created by the ship's powerplant or recently fired weapons.

Yes they do, only this time its all the waves they get as they sail back over the waves to Britain; after losing nearly all "their" colonies..

As you get bigger, it gets harder to hold on to it all.

We, as an empire, have deteriated into some little island in the middle of the world who drink tea and act all high and mighty. We have turned into a joke.

I, myself, am ashamed with what we've become. We've become America in the 80's. 70% of children are now obese, we have a McDonalds in every town, and we have a government who seems to think we need ID cards more than hospital beds.

Back in the day, we were ruthless, and smart, and cunning, and, at times, downright evil. But at least we were proud of it. And we made our place in the new world. Nowadays, ppl are emigrating left right and centre, just to get away from this country/island. On every street corner is a group of 15 year old spotty ignorant kids, guzzling down cider and berrating anyone who walks past. With their babies/pregnant gfs. You go into a supermarket and see a fat person with pork pies and LIGHT mayonnaise. Cause it balances out you see. You go into town, and there are shops specialising in clothes for overweight ppl. And some can't even fit into the biggest sizes. Plastic surgey is now rife, even my next-door neighbour has had her nose and boobs done.


The UK. Britain. The Nation Which Ruled the Waves. Dwindling.

[Rat Faced]

Remind me to never visit your town.. :unsure:

[Biggles]

Remind me to never visit your town.. :unsure:


:lol:

I thought places like that only existed in Tom Sharpe novels.

In truth would we really want to return to invading countries, stealing their property and shooting them?

:(

Oh! I forgot, Tony has already done that.

[Emmylee]

Hmm. I got this email from my friend and I think I should share it with you. :P

Proud to be British?! You won't be! haha

Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then traveling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.

And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign.

Oh and...... Only in Britain ... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

Only in Britain ... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain ... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke.

Only in Britain ... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

Only in Britain ... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in Britain ... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.

Only in Britain ... are there disabled parking places in front of a skating rink.

NOT TO MENTION...

3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.

142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.

58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.

19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.

British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.

101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.

18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.

A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.

5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of Control Scalextric cars.

and finally.........

In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.

Em, you are aware that Utopia is a theoretical place of perfection and not a foreign country, aren't you :ermm:

Nah that's in America too.:ermm:

No, America now.

[Emmylee]

You're much worse now.

[Busyman]

You're much worse now.
Agreed but it's still the same shit in there.

Only in America - you live in a small hovel of an apartment but drive a BMW 740i.

In america, the cheeseburger and fries would also be labled "diet"

[MediaSlayer]

And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign. <<i agree that one is kinda true more often with the british than most other countries





A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth. <<hehe that one is believable, too


but imho the rest of that stuff could be said for many other affluent countries besides britain, don't you think? there is definitely a kind of "dumbing down" going on here in the us, and yes it possibly could be going on there too, but reading your post i would've gotten the wrong idea(if i didn't know better). of all the countries' citizens of the world i have talked with, i have only found a few countries whose citizens are as intelligent as britain. especially the men : )

[kult]

Yes but only because the force of the mighty Scots are on the front line!
