From: oh,i don't flippin know, why ask me
Proud to be UK'ish?
This goes with the other 'what's britain got' thread. All for fun.
This might help when asked what makes you UK'ish (was gonna put british but got replies from accross the borders and realised the error of my ways
)
Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a
Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a
Turkish
Kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows
on
A Japanese TV.
And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign.
Oh and......
Only in Britain ... Can a pizza get to your house faster than an
Ambulance.
Only in Britain ... Do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the
drive
and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.
Only in Britain ... Do we use answering machines to screen calls and
then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't
want to talk to in the first place.
NOT TO MENTION...
3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 1999 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of
screwdrivers.
31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the
fairy lights were plugged in.
19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas
decorations
were chocolate.
British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling
accidents.
101 people since 1999 have had broken parts of plastic toys pulled out
of the soles of their feet.
18 Brits had serious burns in 2000 trying on a new jumper with a lit
cigarette in their mouth.
A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after
opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control
Scalextric cars.
And finally.........
In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the
toilet.
IF YOU'RE PROUD TO BE BRITISH SEND THIS ON!

Sorry, forgot to say. Could you please substitute all mention of british for whatever region you come from. I think we will all agree that this describes the whole nutty bunch of us

Re: Proud to be UK'ish?
What makes me UK'ish?
I'm Anglo-Irish with a 'sprinkling' of taffy ancestry. I like Irish stews but not Guinness (but I like most other alcohol)
Mr Banshee doesn't like Irish Stew, he says it's like pi** water! 
I grew up in South London and like eating hot bags of chips late at night with lashings of vinegar (not all the time tho'). I don't like kebab shops, they suck!
I collect plastic bags and they breed in our under stairs cupboard
I frequently join queues here and talk about the weather and moan about the queue we' in
