[Misc] So... A Thread Of Things That Make You Proud To Be English

[Eeyore]

Inventors, scientists, medical advances, the NHS, the welfare state, rights, the glorious countryside, CRICKET !

I could go on all night.

Slavery, not so keen on that though.

But I'm still a proud Englishman. There is so much to celebrate.

So what does make folk proud ?

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Our sense of humour

 

[Bulldog]

Our tolerance, willing to listen to the views of others even when they're talking shit.

I'm sorry, but every single thing you have listed is done better in other countries.

Seeing as we have BHALBA, maybe ‘British’ rather than English, then again, to quote Mark Renton:

It's SHITE being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the ****ing Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any ****ing difference!

Kindness to animals. Not everyone of course, but overwhelmingly we’re pretty compassionate.

We’re wonderful exponents of the comic genre of irony, parody, satire, black comedy and nonsense. [With an honorary mention to the Scottish genius Armando Iannucci].

Oh FFS! You really think this is funny? I can’t stand people that seem to be amused at the most trivial things. Just get a life and start being a bit more serious about life in general and the world might be a better place.

If we say British,our inventions have made the modern world.

Also ,our language, it's a magnificent thing.

We didn't piss about when Poland was invaded by the Hun. 'Ave it.

Having the confidence to use 's' instead of the hideous, unnecessary, americanised 'z', even when the word is underlined in red.

Indeed, without that fat, bald, racist in Number 10 we’d all be speaking Deutsch.

But which country does them all better?

Being proud does not require being the best. Football has always been played better in other cities but that has never stopped me being proud of my team.
I would add the BBC, real ale, tolerance and obscure lower league football grounds to the list.
