I am an American and a big fan of the British Isles. What is it like being a resident of them? Is it cool to be British?

It's like riding out from your quaint cottage on horseback, eating a sausage butty and following hounds and then you're slaying a dragon and tutting at people in queues and having afternoon tea with the queen and her corgis It's pretty cool I guess.

it's like being american except the TV's different, the weather's worse, the buildings are older, the politics are slightly less retarded, the people are paler and the cops are less likely to shoot you.

Actually the cost to each taxpayer for upkeeping the royal family is 56p, approximately the cost of a half a packet of biscuits which is nothing really when you consider the entertainment value of Prince Philip and how much we pay for the BBC each year when we all just watch Netflix anyway. e: not to mention the tourist money we get as a result of all you johnny foreigners coming over and spending your dollars in a desperate attempt to catch a glimpse of the Queen's knickers, honestly we forget we even have them but the rest of the world seems to think it's a hot topic Shirley Crabtree fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Aug 5, 2014 |

It's like being Irish but more depressed. It's like being Scottish but more depressed. It's like being Welsh but more repressed. It's like being Northern Irish, but more depressed and with less water cannons.

ReptileChillock posted:I heard all the beaches suck there's this one beach but i can't remember where it is... but basically the beach extends out into the sea for a ridiculous distance when the tide is low, and on a hot day all the water in the wet sand evaporates creating this mist cloud and it's like being in some weird wet-sand purgatory where you can't see the sea nor the regular drysand beach anymore. It's mysterious and awesome.
