The Daily Mail and it's legion of fascist - er, sorry, I mean, slightly right wing - readers would disagree with you there. I read in it that apparently ten thousand billion asylum seekers are all coming to England to rape our jobs, commit our women, and steal lots of crimes.

Or something like that.

The north is only good if you're talking about north of the border

[caladanbrood]

And even then, it's not as good as the south...

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Well, at least we can all agree that where we are now, whether it be north, south, or, yes, even *gasp* norway, it could be a lot worse.

We could be French.

[GardenGnome]

Or British...

*shudders*

[Thelomen Toblerone]

Or have been completely subservient to the Danes for centuries. Imagine, ruled by lots of Trems.

[GardenGnome]

Or have a royal family descended from Norse gods.

At least we all seem fairly satisfied with our lot, to the extent of putting down everywhere else....unless we are so dissatisfied that the only way we can feel good about home is to put down everywhere else...

The argument comes more from the fact that the north suffers from comparative high levels of deprivation, hairy, ruddier, less well-educated inhabitants, and dodgy, often incomprehensible accents. And the fact they're a drain on the economy, dole scum

The south on the other hand, is full of pansies who think they're better than northerners, and londoners (like me) who think we're better than everybody else, but prefer southerners to northerners because....well, they're closer.

I think that pretty well explains it. Except that Northerners are a lot cooler and better looking and have sexier accents, and... well you get my point. God was born in Yorkshire, you know.

I got my black belt in "Ecky Thump" last week and in "Bah Gum Lad" last year.

Pah. The scots are just Yorkshire folk in denial...

Former statement = Being from the North. Latter statement = Being from the South.

You could do a lot worse than be British. You couldn't do much better actually... Of course we then have different degrees of Britishness... We have the "Lesser Brits" (Scots/Welsh/Northern Irish) And then we have "Superior Brits" (or English).

Dirty northerner!

if england is so great, then why did all those people commit crimes just to get a chance to come to australia all those years ago?

Excuse me! Since moving further down south, I have discovered showers, and have had at least two in the past three years. Oh, and it rained the other day anyway. So less of the "Dirty" please.

:eek: Is that what they teach in schools? For shame, Australian education system, hiding the truth...

Being deported to Australia was a punishment reserved for those who they REALLY wanted to make suffer... They were all nervous about being killed, and then... That.
Horrible... *shudders*

I'm Friedrichshafen near Lake Constance in southern Germany now, near the Swiss border. Great place, absolutely fantastic people. Loving it.

[shadowdancer]

[Cold Iron]

Umm... hello! are you real? and umm.... sentient?

[Rat Mentor]

Just added location, bloody well couldn't find Kendal in Cumbria. Dropped off my location as SE England, so I posted a picture of me at the Euro championship in Portugal with group of West Ham fans, (I'm the one in the West Ham top). The picture was taken before the England v Portugal qty final, (Portugal won on pens) my brother's and I had tickets for the game. I tell you, I'll never forget walking back to the hotel through Lisbon (ave D'Roma) the city came to a stand still with my brothers and I the only England fans in eye-sight. All the portugese wanted picture's taken with us, took us 1 hour to walk 1/4 mile from the underground to the hotel. Great memories....

[henk]

why does nobody on antartica read malaz? stupid eskimos

[Darkwatch]

That's because they're not eskimos, but Inuits and there are none on Antarctica.

But fear not one day I plan on having a fortress there, so there will be at least one Malaz fan there.

[Wiggles]

May the Great Lesbian Radish smite you with her Daikon.

and then I'll move into your fortress with my 27 kids and flight some aliens and outrun a nuclear explosion up an ice tunnel
