Bad points of the english? I'll give it a go.

We've bad teeth and silly modish haircuts, managing to be simultaneously fashion victims and slobs. We are class obsessed and prone to be snobbish and judgemental. We're World class pessimists and whingers whilst retaining an outmoded belief of a stiff upper lip, an anachronism we carry, along with a sense of superiority and self righteousness that should have disappeared about the time the empire finally set below the horizon.

This superiority is naught but a mask hiding an inferiority complex and a global chip on our shoulder large enough to consume the world or rather our own sense of self importance. Our culture has become derided, diluted, dispersed and degraded. We are the children of imperialism, a failed attempt at ruling the world, that merely turned inward upon itself, the moment we lost most of our overseas territories. We clung to America like a life raft, intoxicated by the last vestiges of power. We voted Thatcher in, and she continued the job of English self destruction. We voted an American model of capitalism in, and that finished us off.

Now, like any other culture that has lost its sense of purpose, its culture, rituals, observances, meaning; we exist in a twilight state of semi-despair, searching for employment in a land that has already been divided and ruled and conquered for an elite few. Many of us have turned to drink and drugs to escape the worsening ennui, the entrenched sense of poverty, paranoia, overcrowding, lack of opportunity.

And all this hangs over us in the shadow of abandoned factories, closed down mills and shuttered up shops glimpsed through a patina of rain, monotonous as it is ubiquitous; as if the world was veiled in tears.

Got to love this.

Superb stuff, even if it is a little bleak.

The cream always rises old boy. Got to try keep the level of this forum above the bickering~!
 
What a bizarre thread. Dont really understand why someone would start a thread to **** of another nation. Maybe Bundy has got nothing good going for him so he feels better ****ging of other people.

Mcbain.... one of the better posters on here to be honest.

I find your anti aussie "banter" a bit over the top mate.... were you bummed by a kangaroo at a petting zoo as a child?

I bet you a penny to a pinch of sh1te that you wouldn't say any of this to an aussie's face.

Well , that's just me an' that's just you , lad .

Incidentally , the banter between me an' McBillaboong - ONLY McBouncer , btw , is BETWEEN us .

Any other Convict Baiting I may partake in , is normally Cricket based .

As for your Sodomy reference , alas no , but you seem to be familiar with the practice .

Your latter point , well we'll never know will we ??? However , I lived in London for years and frequented Earls Court area . Met LOADS of Swag-Baggers , and generally just had a Craic with them . I'm me , lad . I don't change for anyone .

Thus I would suggest you swerve all future onversations to avoid it getting to you .

Incidentally , should you care to look / be interested , you will find that THEY STARTED IT !!! Both here and concerning McBrisbane - who , should you have bothered to ask , is me TOP boy . Certainly me fav' Antip' . It is precisely what you stated intially , Banter . End of . Whether it be to your taste is another matter .He's a Cricket Fan , so am I .
P.S. Did you read his , Swallowing Turds as we Swim , crack ??? Or was that , Fair Dinkum - See what I did there ???

( I quite like it , meself , now like . Gotta admit . )
 

Fact is, they had a vote to rid themselves of the Queen as head of state. (Note: We've never been given a vote. We had to fight like **** for the magna carta) They chose to keep the Queen. Sorry their Queen.

When it comes to overthrowing the yoke of English Imperialism, Liberation and starting out fresh as a new country on their own two feet Australia are very much sniffling sychophants, hiding under the rich raiments of the commonwealth, and doffing their collective caps at our defunct royal family.

The Ozzies love us really. Or look up to us or something.
 
Fair enough lcab, although this is a public forum, not just a conversation between you and Mcbain. I personally hate the ashes/ cricket thing but I guess it's not for everyone. I just object to one of the boards best posters IMO being hounded out for whatever reason.

Why can't we all just get along? We're all blues at the en of the day.

Anyway, to keep it on topic, here's a picture of a small English child about to get bummed by a kangaroo at a petting zoo

Didn't even realise he'd left, is he not just busy with work or something ?

Banter and Aussies go hand in hand, it was the first thing that struck me over there, that although 'P.C.' exists it doesn't actually exist in the real world and everyone slates each other, with there being no real limits as it is accepted that you give and take and nobody really takes any offence.
The bigger the hit you take = the bigger the hit you can throw back.

I'm sure McBain hasn't left and will have plenty of ammo that he's accumulated in his absence that he will unleash on his return.
 
The subtext is that McBain and LCAB are mates. No?

So why's everyone wading in with the leave it mate, he's not worth it etc.
