Oh so they're normal after all then, I was getting worried.

Ah, never heard of that one!
Now knowing there is a second Cumbrian on here, I feel slightly less special. Maybe we could chat about dry stone walls and big hills sometime.

My Mum claims she went to school with him. Though I'm sure he's much older than her, and I suspect she may be making an untruth . . .
Does she go to the same hairdressers as him? He spends more on that coiffeur of his than I earn in a year, that I do know.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ March 26 2010, 9:11 AM GMTAh, never heard of that one!
There's a good reason I've never told it.

I can't get rid of the bastards. There were three of them in the last office I worked in orignally came rom towns within 20 miles of mine. Just goes to show, you can take the girl out of Cumbria but it'll just follow her.
Apart from Americans, if feels like most of the countries who tend to be overly patriotic are countries who feel a bit inferior or ignored next to a more high profile country.
Like Ireland/Wales/Scotland against England who they might feel gets all the attention.
And because England is a bit big headed and feels a bit superior, English people don't think they need to be patriotic. That's why we don't even celebrate St. George's Day, whereas St Patrick's etc is a major thing.
Quote: sglen @ March 26 2010, 6:12 AM GMTAs for flags (sorry to go back a bit...) would anybody actually want to fly the Union Jack even if it wasn't connected to the right-wing?
Yes.
Quote: Nogget @ March 26 2010, 7:08 AM GMTIf I had a country, then instead of a national flag, I would have a national smell. All stamps would smell of it. Coins would be smelly. As would the troops. And I would call it; France.
Quote: sglen @ March 26 2010, 8:39 AM GMTI dunno. I'm not sure what I'd be celebrating really. The nation's far too varied to feel pride for it all.
Why do you need to even LIKE all of it?

More self-conscience scountries? We should get them help, especially Wales.

Lovely stuff!

Posh kids on Newsround. When asked about the 3rd runway at Heathrow.
"Oh no - I hope they don't knock down our school!"
Bloody hell. Most kids would love their school being demolished.
SlagA is bemused and irritated by the fact that, when he sings backing vocals on his even-more eccentric friend's songs, his accent blurs into a strange American-cum-West-Country mishmash. With hint of speech impediment, wussy burrs, and tang of Gutter Welsh, it's the worst of every possible world.
