Maybe I am arrogant because you type in a way that suggests you arent the smartest man to leave Cumbria County College.
English people can afford to be arrogant for many reasons. Rightly or wrongly, kiss my conquering undefeated ass. |

"smart does not equate to wisdom,some of the wisest men in history couldn,t read or write far less type."
Maybe in the year 200BC. Maybe.
"i would like to lick your ass"
Really? Hmm thanks but no thanks
You dont have to type better. Type as well as you want.
Oh ps of course I am not english rob. I would never dip my dick into the chinese female users on this site (unfortunately for them).
Ok lets make up eh jamie? I'll admit, it is taxing to argue with someone of such envied intellect, and I cant keep it up. Truce? |

The question of this thread was "why would anyone want to be associated with England." So I guess Nick la, you cannot read or have a low concentration level.
Sorry eejjit (I hope it's ok if I call you eejjit.), but in today's world there are many people who can't read and write. Sorry they didn't teach you this in school or at The Portsmouth Colledge of pompous asses, but there are. It doesn't mean they are not smart in any shape form or manner. Myebe if you went out and saw the world rather than being in your little bubble of England, not needing to learn anything, you might just do that, learn. I would seriously want to lick your ass and myebe your dick as well. I have to see if you are my type. But as I cannot type, maybe you are not my type. I already have my make up on. So why make up? You are so camp. I like camp Englishmen. Anyone else? "Oh, English people can afford to be arrogant." That's really smart, isn't it? Please enlighten us on this point. I'm sure we are all dying to hear your words of wisdom. Calling a truth already. I'm not even warmed up yet, and here is me missing "Brave heart". Oh well, I only watch it 12 times a day. I'm sure I'll get over it. So original like get the haggis and tatties on a day in the life of the eejjit members of Shanghai expat. They came, they saw and they learnt. **** all.
PS. Fellow members of Shanghai expat, I do appologize if the script of the text is not set out in a professional, proper manner. I do hope that
it is grammatically correct and that prepositions, pronouns, adverbs, punctuations and so on are all in a grammatically proper place. If not, could you please point these out. I shall do my utmost to rectify these grammatical inadequencies in future correspondings. Ta very much. The drinks are on eejjit's heid. |

Nowhere can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots.
The average Englishman in the home he calls his castle, slips into his national costume, a shabby raincoat, patented by chemist Charles Macintosh from Glasgow, Scotland.
En route to his office he strides along the English lane, surfaced by John Macadam of Ayr, Scotland.
He drives his car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop, veterinary surgeon of Dreghorn, Scotland.
At the office he receives mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by John Chalmers, bookseller and printer of Dundee, Scotland.
During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell, from Edinburgh, Scotland. At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, blacksmith of Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
He watches the news on T.V. an invention of John Logie Baird of Helensburgh, Scotland and hears an item about the U.S. Navy, founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland.
Nowhere can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots.
He has by now been reminded too much of Scotland, and in desperation, he picks up the bible, only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot, King James VI, who authorised the translation.
He could take to drink, but the Scots make the best in the world.
He could take a rifle and end it all, but the breech loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson, of Pitfours, Scotland.
If he escaped death, he could find himself on an operating table injected with penicillin, discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming, of Darvel, Scotland, and given some Chloroform, an anaesthetic discovered by Sir James Young Simpson, obstetrician and Gynaecologist of Bathgate, Scotland.
Out of the anaesthetic, he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the Bank of England, founded by William Paterson of Dumfries, Scotland.
Perhaps his only remaining hope would be to get a transfusion of guid Scottish blood which would entitle him to ask…
Wha’s like us? |

Is there for honest Poverty
That hings his head, an' a' that;
The coward slave-we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a' that!
For a' that, an' a' that.
Our toils obscure an' a' that,
The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
The Man's the gowd for a' that.
What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an' a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man's a Man for a' that:
For a' that, and a' that,
Their tinsel show, an' a' that;
The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
Is king o' men for a' that.
Ye see yon birkie, ca'd a lord,
Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that;
Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
He's but a coof for a' that:
For a' that, an' a' that,
His ribband, star, an' a' that:
The man o' independent mind
He looks an' laughs at a' that.
A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, an' a' that;
But an honest man's abon his might,
Gude faith, he maunna fa' that!
For a' that, an' a' that,
Their dignities an' a' that;
The pith o' sense, an' pride o' worth,
Are higher rank than a' that.
Then let us pray that come it may,
(As come it will for a' that,)
That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth,
Shall bear the gree, an' a' that.
For a' that, an' a' that,
It's coming yet for a' that,
That Man to Man, the world o'er,
Shall brothers be for a' that.

That explains why half the British defence budget is spent on McEwans Extra and Special Brew. It also explains why, instead of telling the terrorists to put their hands up in the Iranian Embassy siege, the SAS men shouted, "Come on ya bashtardsh! I'll take the lot of yers!" In fact, there are so many Scots in the SAS, they're trying to change the rules so that they don't work on behalf of the Queen, but instead pledge allegiance to Begbie from Trainspotting. |
