Correct English response to Currentn European issues

[d_Guy]

Indeed, we have 535 members in our own clown show*, pretty much interchangeable with your lot. Such is the nature of a representative democracy in its best implementations. The concept of the 2nd amendment came from you all but then you all dropped the thread somewhere.

This is a post-political post, one that stands aloof, well beyond such things, reeking of erudition and self righteousness.


*and we have two additional branches:

"Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science.

The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.

Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.

A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.

In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.

This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

I believe it is one of the most expensive elements as well, with the cost increasing exponentially over time with it's ability to create phantom molecules that seem to exist however under investigation are found to merely consist of a vacuum"

Well I'm not English and not sure how to fix these problems but  a good start point would be putting the kettle on

[FierceKitty]

You have a firm grasp of the basics.

Juvenile and unhelpful poll which unfortunately highlights the problem this country has with its supposed superiority to all others in the world. Deeply sad state of affairs even if it is supposed to be humorous.

"Mother Superior, the last six six sisters I've spoken to all told me I'd got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. Don't you start; I feel great today."

"Actually, my child, I just wanted to ask why you were wearing the bishop's shoes."

The fact that this country controlled approx. 2/3rd of the world, in relatively recent history, would suggest that at that time we were superior  to the majority of the world, otherwise we would not have managed to get into that position in the first place.  Changing the way you see yourself  takes quite a while, particularly when you controlled 2/3 of the world for a couple of hundred years.

Hmmm...the Chinese have seen themselves that way since our species started walking on its hind legs.

I think that is a problem with humans in general. virtually all human groups see themselves as superior to some/all  other groups.

Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda
Sunni and Shiite Muslims
Israelis and their neighbours
Population who live in houses and Travelers/gypsies


The list goes on and on.

Just maintain the status quo, looks like that is what mummy May is trying to do.

There's a term for that - S.N.A.F.U.

[steve_holmes_11]

I did  sign to wonder if it isn't time for the Parliament to be removed so that they might "make way for better men (and women)"?

A couple of weeks ago we were trying to make them sovereign against the bunch of unelected dictators.

Now they say we have to get a move on, or we'll have to elect another bunch of unelected dictators.

I'm sure the Lords and the Queen will solve it.

We were also the only nation with kettles integrated into our tanks - coincidence?
Our tea drinking Indian Brothers soon caught on.

Now even the USA are doing it, though with the stated aim of "Rehydrading MREs" or some sort of post-colonial abomination.

Time for a bit of culture:

O wad some Pow'r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion:
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
An' ev'n devotion!

Whats that fizzy big girls blouse liquid in the glass?

It's the rather pleasant and refreshing cold beer found in most of Europe, as opposed to the lukewarm pig swill we get served in Wetherspoons.
