Oh well.
Return to rightful owner is what i say, and that includes states!!! :p . Huhuhu, at least most of the other former colonies had the decency to put the Union Jack in their flags...but you??? no, you put some stars and stripes. I bet they're not even straight lines!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr :DQuote:

Chris, would you like India back while you are at it? What about South Africa? ;) Can't have the states. After we were done stealing them from the natives, we figured, why give 'em to you. :P
Yeah, sorry, but we had this thing against the Union Jack. We actually had to come up with something more gaudy.
Though, if we start returning everything... Let me see... does that mean you'll let Ireland fight amongst itself, and return Scotland to the Scots? :)
No, we keep all of Ireland rather than just the northern bit, and yes scots can have scotland (but only if they give us Sean Connery:D)Quote:

The Scots can stick Scotland in their sporrans and keep it there :rolleyes:

Mmmmm, I'm kind of confused here. Scotland is part of Britain and it was the British Empire (Act of Union and all that stuff). So how's about we divy up the world between us.
Scotland can have
- Canada
- Australia (our Jails are getting crowded again)
- Dublin (A great drinking town)
- Galway (My wife comes from there, so she'd be pissed off if I gave it away)
- Rockall
- All the North Sea Oil (oh Yeah! we already do have that!)
- Manchester & Newcastle (Two good drinking towns)
- Britsh Virgin Isles (just because the name makes me snigger)
- Hong Kong
- America
England can have
- The Americans :D
- The isle of Man
- France (the northern bit anyway)
- Ireland (except Dublin & Galway)
- South Africa
- All the African states that we "converted", armed and then left to kill each other
- India
- Airdrie (in exchange for Manchester & Newcastle)
I suppose we should give Wales something:
- The channel Isles
Seems like a fair swap to me.
Any complaints?

See, if you guys played real football everybody wuld have something to talk about and you wouldn't need the guns.
I never new you guy's started playin footie. I knew ireland had a version of the great game but when did you guy's take it up?
So do you still play soccer?
;)
Surfdemon you forgot New Zealand... don't worry everyone forgets new zealand....
What about Sumatra gotta have somewhere to surf!
And "braveheart"! What about that as a national icon...
Yeah, but I don't think we ever owned New Zealand, which probably explains why it isn't screwed up.
On behalf of Britain, I should really apologise to the rest of the world. We pretty much buggered up almost every country on the planet. Sorry. We were being a bit immature and childish at the time.
They wouldn't know a decent football if it was put up their dates.
Hmm,,,,NZ is a former part of the Empire, (they only wanted it because the French thought it might be added to their empire).
Chris
In the process to become a republican, (once we get rid of that Corgi shagging Jack Boot Johnny), we are going to replace the flag, (read no union jack). So expect the world's most gaudy table cloth.
I think we should grant Manchester international independence. We could invite Bush round for conference and nick his alloys.
Get him pissed up (It's a national tradition) and take him out back for a good kicking. We'll be a guaranteed nuclear free nation, but we can still hold the world in fear of Mutually Assured Destruction, even if we do have to use vegetarian kebabs.

Bush has gone out of his way to wind China up and now China is going to make America squirm for their pilots and planes.
Also, the suggestion that the planes were over international waters is an American one, you get a different opinion if you ask the Chinese.
It wouldn't suprise me in the least if it was a mistake on the part of the American pilot(s) that caused the mid-air collision. The imcompetance of the american military never ceases to amaze me. :confused:
Hang on...didn't Tomorrow Never Dies start a bit like this?
Never saw it.
Does it end in nuclear disaster?
Well, seeing as though the nuclear war device was invented by the Americans, it is only logical to conclude that if you had had it in the 1770s or the 1810s, we would've had it, too.Quote:

It may have lead to MAD, but it all the other British colonies would've thought our sacrifice was a good thing (TM). :)
Anyway, yes, we are getting off topic.
China has dragged this out long enough. Return the crew and keep the plane. We don't have any rights to it anymore. We will have to fight to get it back.
Let's face it, this is a fantastic intelligence opportunity for the Chinese and they'd be foolish to ignore it, diplomacy or no diplomacy.
American are wierd:p
(Not sure of the spelling)
But surely back in 1770s all you Americans were Brits :D. Newly immigrated etc. I mean to say, how many of the people fighting in the American war of independance were born in Britain, or 2nd or 3rd generation brits? :DQuote:

I read a fascinating book about the USS Constitution and you would be surprised at the amount of British Sailors who were on board who had moved to America.
Completely off subject I know, but this is the chit chat forum.
P.S. Americans, don't worry, I'm just yanking your chain :D. Hell Britain's pretty much a viking colony if you go back far enough. So to progess that line of thought, if Britain caused most of the worlds problems, the Scandanavians are really to blame. America shouldn't be wasting time and planes spying on China, they should be keeping an eye on the fjords of Norway, looking out for any advances in longboat technology.
Americans didn't invent the nuclear bomb although the first nuclear bomb was successfully built in the USA.Quote:

Your logic is lost on me. America didn't dominate the world in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries, Britain did (And perhaps a few other European countries).
Still, I don't want Britain to Nuke America, I wan't China to!
:eek:
:( You're absolutely right SD....I'm worried that the village idiot doesn't do something even more stupid and we all find ourselves with harps and wings......or pitchforks depending on the situation!;)
Barrk, Your okay, after all "All dogs go to heaven" acording to Warner Bros. (and I refer to you as a dog in the nicest possible way).
As for me, being a Demon, I'm pretty much committed to spending the rest of my days listening to Kylie Minogue records and giving incontenent old grannies sponge baths. (Thats just my personal idea of hell of course).
SD....although my username has the unfortunate drawback of sounding like a noise from a dog.....it is actually my last name and first initial....Katie Barr. Please call me Katie if you don't mind!
Thanks!:)
Whoops Sorry Katie ;)
I was a bit confused as your avitar was either a cat or one of those small annoying doggy things (yappy dogs) (as oppossed to real dogs, Labradors, Cerberus etc.)
I was wondering if there was some deeper pun that I was missing completely (not an unusual situation for me).
Please accept my humblest demonic apologies.
SD
P.S. I suppose I can't use my 'barkk is worse than your byte' joke I was saving up for a special occasion!
Feel free to poke fun at anytime! I just wasn't sure that you knew my name.
Never a yappy dog for me! I prefer Labs myself!!!
Labs are the best. I have 2 myself.
I feel bad now though, 'cause you've gone and changed your avitar!! Sorry.
I'm a very sensitive Demon. When I was younger, all the other demons used to laugh and call me names, they wouldn't let me join in any demon games. Then one foggy christmas night.... oh! hang on, wrong sob story....
There's nothing worse than a demon with a self esteem problem:rolleyes:
I just felt like it was time to change my avatar....you just gave me the push I needed!:eek:
Mmmm. Yeah, I need to get myself one of those avatar thingies.
It has to be suitably demonic.
Bill Gates is too obvious (as is Curious George W.)
I could have Elizabeth Hurley from Beddazzled, that would be easy on the eye's, but some lonesome person might think that I actually look like that and start trying to chat me up!!
Tricky, .......... I'll have to put my thinking cap on (that always makes me look silly when I'm in the middle of an office).
Cheers,
SD
How about the BSD Daemon?
Yeah that'd be a good one, but a little too cute.
I need something that says Demonic, but with a twist of sophistication, a slice of manliness, a hint of humour and a sprinkling of sheer unresistable animal magnitism. Oh, yeah, a little bit of humility as well.. but not too much.
Actually when I think about the BSD chappie will do perfectly. Good idea!
Thanks Parksie!!
I like the new you SD.....self-portrait or just the essense of SD?
Definetely just the essense.
I'm no way near as cute as that wee fella.
Glad you like it. If I get time tonight I might try it with a white background.
Cheers,
SD
Sorry about that, two spelling mistakes in the first line.
"Definitely just the essence"
I should really proof read stuff before I post it.
SD
In some small measure, it is going to upset me if you use Deamon and don't actually use a BSD dist.
Picky... :p
And on that note...isn't it usually /usr/bin/perl?
That depends on where you put it. I put system wide stuff in /bin and user specific stuff in /usr. Besides, its sounds more painful if you scream it without the /usr.
Here is Deamon with either a white bg or a transparent one. I don't know which.
I snagged it from /.
Cool! Thanks for the transparent background one.
I'll change it tonight - gotta do some work now.
Sorry, but your going to have to be upset. I don't use BSD, but I do have a bad case of BSE if thats any help.
The only problem I have is the large hooves. You should see the size of keyboard I have to use!!
Anyway, better go back to chewing the cud .... which sounds a lot more filthy than it really is.
Moo for Noo
SD
Took me a minute to find this. And this sounds more grusome than my sig. This actually is where I got the idea for my sig, though I've always used tcsh (it's what I was introduced to, just haven't felt compelled to switch).
And since I haven't gotten my Linux box back up, I've actually been using #!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe. Sucks, I know.

Latest news over night is that the Chinese have admitted that the original collision happened over international waters.Quote:
