Ask a Brit thread

[Platypus]

are you guys ready to watch Australia win over half the gold medals at the (British) Commonwealth Games?

seriously though, what is ther British opinion on the former colonies, especially those in the commonwealth (and especially Australia)?

[Platypus]

They don't beat us at sports we care about, either

[Platypus]

We've beaten you in every sport Melburnians care about-even soccer/football. We've only lost to you in one major sporting event I can think of in recent times, the rugby union world cup, out of how many test matches, rugby games, etc.?

Oh, and your females marathon runners are better then ours-but at least we have control of our bowels. that's what English food does to you...

BTW, what I meant be my question before was, does the UK feel any ownership or protectiveness for the commonwealth countries, especially the 'white' ones? Does the UK feel superior, and sorta like it's the boss?

"Britain Forward Not Back" sounds fine with a comma after 'Forward', I think.

well, there IS negative campaigning here, too Lewis. But after following the US election quite closely, it sweems we have less them them, and about the same about if not less then the UK.

BTW, i'm thinking the tories have a really bad slogan. Are you?
