What Do You Think Of British People

[Parche]

Do you like them?
Do you dislike them?

[Phillycat]

1. I married one.

[LSK]

2. they like to say Goodnight

[ohiosmith]

3. Like em fine, on toast with a bit of marmalade.

[MrScorpio]

4. I liked all the Brits that I've ever met

And they enjoyed my sense of humor as well

[billyskank]

5. They SUCK.

Trust me, they're a bunch of assholes.

[Parche]

9. They suck

So what your telling me is they give good head?

[Bucky]

27. Yes indeed

That is an acceptable synonym for "total assholes".

[Deep13]

39. Bloody-'ell, you're a wankah!

[Arugula Latte]

6. Love 'em!

Except for Maggie Thatcher, Liam Gallagher, Tony Blair and most of The Spice Girls.

[Fleshdancer]

7. ultimately it depends on the person but...

the good thing about the British is that even if I don't like what they're saying, I like hearing them say it. I'm a sucker for a cool accent.

[huskerlaw]

8. Love them!

London is one of my favorite cities.

I want to go back and explore the rest of the country more.

Also, the accent?? :SWOON:

[terrya]

10. Well, I'm sure they're like other people.

Some you would like, some you wouldn't. Doesn't have anything to do with their nationality.

[redqueen]

11. I like some... dislike others.

I seem to be partial to Irish people, though. Especially men.

[Parche]

16. Irish People

I have a nice Blarney Stone...........

I slay myself............

[quip]

24. What a cunning airline name!

[billyskank]

28. Now that's just Virgin on the ridiculous.

[Parche]

36. Irish Airlines

Aer Cunnilingus?

[qwertyMike]

66. They call it

Aer Fungus back home

[Drunken Irishman]

51. Well hello there. ;)

[redqueen]

72. Howya.

[Phoonzang]

12. They make the best music and have the BBC

Good enough for me...

[judaspriestess]

13. British men are my absolute favorite

I looooove them. If I didn't have my sweet honey and wouldn't trade for the world, I would be with a Brit.

[redqueen]

Cause of the accent?

I really love a good accent.

Irish, Scottish, and English. In that order.

[Parche]

18. You Are Always After Me Lucky Charms

[mwooldri]

67. I think that's Irish - but Ireland is part of the British Isles. But not British. (nt)

[quip]

26. Aussie accents are awesome, too

Less pretentious than Brits I think.

Sometimes I don't even understand Scottish and Irish.

But they all rawk.

[redqueen]

31. I'm not fond of Aussie accents.

Dunno why... not my thing.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. I agree wholeheartedly

While there is a certain population of inarticulate yobs (caricatured as Onslow on "Keeping Up Appearances"), the UK has a higher percentage than the U.S. of verbally adept, witty men who know how to be masculine without being macho.

I LIKE visiting the UK.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

14. What do you think of me?

I'm British... (also American as well)... I may not have the neato accent but I did have the ovaries to take the driving test.

I dare ya to take the British driving test!!

[BarenakedLady]

15. I'm rather fond of the ones I've met.

[billyskank]

17. This one reciprocates.

[Parche]

40. You are such a player

You are full of the Queens crap.......


PS we still love you.........

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Well, if they're like billyskank or tjwmason, they absolutely rock.

[tjwmason]

58. You're far too kind

There's plenty I could say about Virginians too.

[Greyskye]

21. The people are mostly great

The food sucks though. "Boil it until it's done, then boil it again."

[IronLionZion]

22. "If these people think they're going to keep the British people down,

they've got another thing coming". Now imagine that in a strong Scottish accent. That's what the Scottish baggage handler said after he stopped the terrorists in Glasgow airport. Awesome stuff.

[quip]

23. Are you kidding me???? Any group of people who gives the world

Monty Python should be bronzed! And I love the funny way they talk, too!

That they gave us Spinal Tap is just icing on the cake!

[mitchum]

Uh...there is only ONE limey involved with Spinal Tap (C. Guest)...

Spinal Tap was an American production

[Tikki]

25. Many Brit born and raised men I know....

tend a nice garden.

Tikki

[Bucky]

29. No sex threads, please

[Deep13]

30. Pretty hard to judge a whole island.

The one I married is a total Sweetie, of course.

[Dukkha]

32. Very nice blokes

They make the best music by far. Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Radiohead, The Cure, Queen, Moody Blues, The Police, The Clash, The Smiths, the list goes on and on.

[doc03]

33. Bad teeth

[supernova]

34. Help me decide: I need a large sample of British men

to be able to tell.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

42. Go to England

Plenty of lovely British men there. I wanted to take them all home with me, but they said their wives would object.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. should returnt the koh-i-noor to india.

[Deep13]

38. What's the koh-i-noor?

I mean the British Empire has stolen so much stuff it is hard to keep track.

[muriel_volestrangler]

45. One of the biggest diamonds in the world

Fought over by many rulers; now in the British Crown Jewels. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koh-i-Noor

Not just India, but Pakistan (it was last at Lahore before the British got it), Iran and Afghanistan claim it too.

[redqueen]

78. I will never understand the preoccupation with shiny rocks.

Never.

[IronLionZion]

37. Thanks for the railroads, cricket, government system, unity, and language

and a big no thanks for the bureaucracy, taking our natural resources, partition, and leaving India without bringing us too!

[Fluffdaddy]

41. I like their TV and Movies. But I never met a Brit personally

[Arugula Latte]

69. Whaaa? Never met one in the flesh?

How is that possible?

[WinkyDink]

43. I not only love them; I wish I WERE one! LOVE movies set in Britain! Been there 10 times!

Spent a career teaching Brit Lit.

HATE the American Revolution!

[lost-in-nj]

44. Shit give me an accent

any accent........
regional american, (except, Bergen, Essex and Hudson counties in NJ) european.....
what ever

I'm gone......
take me away


lost

[alarimer]

46. They drive on the wrong side of the road

What's that about?

[SPKrazy]

47. I've met some very nice ones

and

I think they are from Britain too

[qwertyMike]

48. The Brits

think Americans are just like kids - poor cousins.
Like the guy at the end of the street who just won the lottery.
Loud, brash, infantile.

Then again, those superior Brits.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

62. I don't get that impression

[Quantess]

49. Slightly eccentric dog-lovers who love gardening in the rain. I think I'd fit right in, LOL.

Currently, I'm a little jealous of their government. Hey, I've heard enough about British government to know it's not ideal, but the last 7 years...I'm thinkin'...I'll trade ya.

But I think I need to visit first!

[Drunken Irishman]

50. I grew up in a British hating household.

No kidding, my uncle used to have the Queen on his dartboard. But that was because they tried to run us out of our country.

[Connonym]

52. the imperialist bastards

Who can blame them for wanting Ireland? Although truth be told it seems like there wasn't any place in particular they *didn't* want. I hold no grudges...mostly

[Drunken Irishman]

60. Neither do I, though my grandma sure did.

[supernova]

63. You have special dispensation

300 years of invasion is bound to make people crazy.

[XemaSab]

61. My house wasn't British hating

it was more like British NOT LIKING.

[leftofthedial]

53. they talk funny and shit

and drive on the wrong side of the street

[orleans]

54. their accents are simply wonderful--and contagious! n/t

[Richard Steele]

55. Totally likeable, but a bit too POLITE for my taste.

I've met a few, and they're just so goddamned NICE and DECENT
that it gets ANNOYING!

[T_i_B]

56. We're all wonderful of course.

[tjwmason]

57. Smug self-satisfied superior bastards

[mvd]

59. Very nice accents, and England is a big part of..

my heritage, along with Italy.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

64. They're evil

they plan to take over the USA and ban baseball and replace it with Test Cricket. Lyndon LaRouche told me.

[supernova]

65. And The Queen is a drug dealer!

Larouchie told me so!

[Blue_Tires]

68. not too keen on that Geico cockney reptile....

the rest of it is all good...hope they can find a real soccer coach for WC 2010

[supernova]

70. 99% certain that's not a real cockney

that Geico Gecko.

[tigereye]

71. I love all things British

well, except for their history of colonialism...

[GirlinContempt]

73. I prefer British Indians

Now *that* is a sexy accent

[Cabcere]

74. I love them.

Their accents are hot (and so are most of their men, at least the ones I've met! ). They also have great senses of humor, in my experience.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

75. They have THE most wicked sense of humour on the planet.

I lived amongst them for two years and had the bloody time of my life.

And you haven't LIVED until you've eaten fish and chips served up wrapped in newspraper...

[kwassa]

76. Descended from them

a few hundred years ago, I know.

A blessing and a curse.

[mitchum]

77. As a whole, they are a bunch of crumpet-sucking twits...

but I do have several limey friends
