And having a f**king leek as your national emblem and cheese-on-toast as your national dish! (The Welsh national drink, of course, is Malibu. And the Welsh national costume is a smart pair of Green Flash trainers, look you.)

Hey leave the Welsh alone! They're where Goldi Lookin Chains come from.
I've got nothing against the 'druids'.
Mmmm...
The Tolpuddle Martyrs was a Conspiracy.

Texas was #28 of the 48 continental states, achieving statehood in 1845. The last of the 48 was Arizona in 1912.

Do you think any states will ever go it alone? Some would like to, I'm sure.

Very, very doubtful. Texas is the only one with a healthy enough economy to consider it, as New York and California are pretty much broke at this point. But Texans are quite patriotic and would only consider seceding if the rest of the country was absolutely falling apart. But I can't see it happening in my lifetime.
Apologies DaButt, I always thought that Texas was the last to join for some reason...you know, because y'all's is so ornery and such.
I've met a couple of Texans in my life and they do talk about Texas as if it is an independent country. I think it's kind of groovy, unlike those wussbags from Delaware.

Speechless? Say it ain't so!
In support of Texas though, I find the film Lone Star State very funny indeed. There, that's diplomatic of me.

I don't think I've seen the film. The comic wasn't intended as a dig against anyone, I just came across it on another site and thought it captured the essence of YouTube comments perfectly.
If China lands on the moon isn't that war? I mean Nixon claimed it for the US?
Oops, sorry, the image was taking an age to load for some reason, looked like a blank comment.
