0.051 in Witney (call-me-dave's constituency) :roll:

Boooooooooooooo! :(

Less than 10 to go!

Are you ok there Talkemada? Would you like us to call anyone for you?

MF, its currently a wooden door and frame, but the frame's as shagged as the door and the whole lot needs replacing (if it was just the door I'd be tempted to do it myself, but I don't fancy ballsing up the frame!

Please, please tell us it was kicked in…?!

Sorry but no :|

wwaswas, I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like the look of it :lol:

Despite being 6'5" I have a bit of a problem with heights and much of that fantastic vid made me a little unconfortable :roll:

Anyone?

… nothing, I have to work :(

OMG!!! Is that a real cat?

No, it's a magic cat. All magic cats exist somewhere between reality and the weird (Yorkshire or Wales I think!) :?

Health & Flippin Safety, although it does pay the bills! :wink:

I can't be arsed reading through all the replies so sorry if it's already been done but how about an Astravan (this isn't mine it's just one that turned up on google!)

She's not what I'd call fat:

(edit -she's Miss England I think!)

druidh, as Cunard is a British-American company there are some yanks that have an argument that all Cunard owned vessels are also British-American too (despite registration in Southampton) :roll:

Calm down Alice.

Another fantastic argument from LHS… I think you need some of this:

I think if you look at the top of the page, i did, therefore you are wrong.

Wow, that's such a convincing argument I must be wrong… :roll:

Submarines in general – invented by William Bourne

Although William Bourne designed a prototype submarine in 1578, the idea was nothing new and it is not know (although speculated) if this design was used by Cornelius Jacobszoon (a Dutchman) in the first successful submarine in 1620, therefore you cannot claim submarines as being an English invention.

LHS, The Vanguard class submarines are British (Royal Navy) and are all based in Scotland, how is that English?

I think the only thing that could make this anymore English would be if we had to queue up and discuss the weather before we could complain and argue!! :lol: :roll:

PeterPoddy – I do hope you were trying to be obtuse as you managed to contradict yourself beautifully there, well done. :lol:

don simon, I'm asking for your opinion and not trying to change your point of view.

I agree with the sh1t way the press deal with national identity (Murray for instance -British when he wins, Scottish when he loses, but always a ****t!).

I think we need more British sporting representation and more than a Lions tour or the Olympics every 4years (if nothing else we may have more chance at winning something).

As for the national anthem, I feel that England should change theirs and leave the current dirge for Britain (as is done in the Commonwealth games).

Southern Yeti, I'm British, but was born in England. I'm not sure why I feel British so wondered how other people feel about the matter.

I was born in the South and grew up in the North where I was taught to be Northern and Proud and now live in the South again. I'm don't quite understand why being northern is something to be celebrated while being southern is frowned upon, I no longer see it as an issue, so don't see myself as either.

*Edit* what Hora said +1

don simon, would you consider yourself British if a flag was changed?

March up and down your local high street wearing it with mascara smeared down your face carrying a sign reading "wedding dress for sale".

toomanybikes are you in the WI? :lol:

Yeah but they go too far the other way sometimes.

I think Jamie gets the prize for undersatement of the day :lol:

Come on then guys and gals, let's see your patriotic pictures and links!

What, like this?:

wasn't 'St' George Turkish?

Yes, but he IS still the patron saint of England (and others).

dooosuk, in case you cant wait, here you go:

My first impression is that it’s very brown :?

Maybe he likes to dresses as a French maid (other stereotypical costumes are available) on the weekend and so wears a tie during the week to feel more 'manly' and for a greater contrast between the two?!

Can anyone tell me why they also feel the need to drop those fudging red elastic bands all over the place?

If you really want to screw with him, break a few plates, bowls and cups and then replace them with random others, the mix of un-matching crockery will be too much for him to cope with :twisted:

hugin 8O

… and not always the most friendly bunch

If woodsman is anything to go by I think you might be right :wink:

it was on a grassy/muddy track

That makes sense(ish), my first thought was that you decided to run along the road barefoot :roll:

I thought I would pop my shoes off and run barefoot for a bit

why? :?

Can anyone post the route guide somewhere where we can all get a copy?

If not can you please email me a copy? (engledow_uk[at]hotmail[dot]com) Ta

I hope not as my foreheads gradually becoming a fivehead! :cry:

My wife is called Heidi..

Was she named after the badly-synch'd Alpine TV temptress or the goat?
