Yeah well.. Its probably because we're so great...
I mean we started the industrial revaoloution. And Englishman ... Mr Johnson invented the dictionary (and at the same time spelling tests)... we have the fine writings of Shakespeare... one of the few free health services in the world... the conquered large parts of the world during the Victorian age... and (rant banter nitwit oddment tweak)
and we are home to many fine authors such as Iain M Banks, J R R Tolkien , JK Rowling, Terry Pratchett mong a great many others...
(further ranting

And if i were to complete the traditional English rant I would say:
that the americans need to 1.get a decent president.
2.Get to wars and help allies on time.
3.Stop threatening people with nuclear weapons.
4.get a decent education system.
5.Get rid of that annoying accent.
6.Stop sending shoddy TV shows and movies over to our fair Island (except the Simpsons

).
7.learn to understand that 'todays' americans were the product of slaves being brought in from all over the world.
8.That as much as they want to beleive it and impose their opinions on other nations - the English are NOT the most hated nation in the world.
Of course these aren't my opions

.
Its just the gossip I hear in english pubs from my cloud.

English might have invented a few good things, but it doesn't mean English *is* great, isn't it? For example, English invented the railway, but the English railway system is one of the worst in the world. Or, the NHS is free, but it's in a complete mess.

@Minerva, i would have to agree with you about the NHS, but then people have to also be responsible, i have not been to the doctor in about 16 months, i have had flu and other ailments in this time, but they were not life threatening, i just had to take things easy for a few days.

Maybe i should make a website on porn, after all there is none of that on the internet....
I still want opinions BTW even if this topic has now transmuted into a pig.

You could make a site featuring your johnson as a type of puppet. Get a web cam and film him dressed up and doing scenes from Hamlet, or perhaps as Captian Hook from Peter Pan

Get a shock of red doll hair and have 'her' bemoan the burning of Atlanta as Scarlet O'hare.

The thing is, during the BSE crisis, I wouldn't have eaten British beef either, so...
I bet there's a worrying amount of people who think Wales is a place in England...

I wouldn't dream of sticking up for Dubya, but it's not like Blair's that great either...

...because obviously England never had a slave trade...
<STRONG>What about the Midland?</STRONG>
@Minerva Ah, if only Gruntboy and Vixen were here to hear you complaining about northern accents...
I agree about the NHS and the rail service though.
@Waverly Have you heard of a couple of Aussie guys who do a show called Puppetry of the Penis?

OMG
No Georgi, never hear of them. I do remember an older movie (Groove tube) that had a few minutes of a penis dressed up in it.

You didn't go did you Sleep?

Yeah, I think I saw them on some late-night Channel 4 programme (most likely) promoting their tour! Very scary... looked painful...
