If you weren't English What Nationality Would You Like to Be and Why?

[Easy 10]

I'd like to be scottish. Then I could still live in England (whilst pretending to hate it), be drunk all the time, and not work.

 

[Aldo]

Spanish.

The women are awesome, the food is really nice and its a great place to live

HG201 won't be happy!! And i have to say I can't think of any other nationality I'd want to be in all honesty.

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Not Japanese then?

Good Lord no. The longer I live here (18 years so far) the more I yearn for England's green and pleasant land. That and Twiglets, Cornish pasties and a decent Ruby of course.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Yeah I would go for Italian I reckon.

 

[Brovion]

Someone once asked Lord Palmerston this very same question. He replied: "If I were not an Englishman then I would wish to be an Englishman."

 

[Simster]

Bergen makes Manchester look arid.

Indeed. But the main difference is that at least the people of the county of Hordaland weren't STUPID enough to build there cricket ground there and then BLAME the weather on their lack of domestic titles.

Scandinavia is how this country could have been if we hadn't got greedy.

I'd say our issues have been caused by too much selfishness and not enough municipal/social thinking.

Would you swap jap birds for English ones though?

 

[Braders]

Irish either country

Ditto

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

You know me well
Same really, can't imagine myself or want to be any other nationality other than English

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Mmmmmm, that's a toughy, Spanish. Eerm let me think about that one..................Okay whaddya reckon

 

[Silent Bob]

you can tell me if you like. One day I may be a grown up and go on a trip of a lifetime to china myself and see it with my own eyes. for now though, I will rely on you.

Wise choice sir, wise choice.
You'd have to be pretty lucky out of the 1billion or whatever to be one of the tiny percentage that have it quite good.

Afternoon Spanish, Thats very judgemental of you sir

just because, i like good southern music

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

French, oh la la

 

[Superphil]

Were I not English, I'd like to embrace the other bit of my heritage and be Catalan.

Beat me to it Frutos. Catalan for me too - stunning capital city, great climate, tapas every night and Barca every other weekend.

Catalan isn't a nationality, nor is it a country. Would you prefer the France, Spain or Andorra on your passport?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

German of course.

 

[xenophon]

Chinese? Are you completely mad?

They are incorrigibly rude, spit everywhere, pull the hairs on your European arms to see if they're real then laugh at you, reek of garlic, slurp every piece of food that's reached to them while keeping their faces 2mm from their food. They wear their pyjamas out in the street at 4pm, and finally they have absolutely no idea of what a "queue" constitutes.

And they're racist little bastards who happen to be Red Scum too, no thanks

p.s. I've a British passport and an Irish one, and that's enough for me

 

[Andrew]

I would love to be Italian.
