I'm celebrating reaching level 3 with a futile question.

Most countires have a history book - UK has a pamphlet.

10 points on offer for the funniest snipe against our colonial cousins.
Additional Details

You know why so many English guys like to bar fight?
It is 'cause they know that if they get their teeth knocked out, it will improve their appearance!

Hmm as has already been said this questioner has copied and pasted a question and doesn't understand it.
Firstly he is only on level 1
Secondly if the U.K has got a pamphlet of history then the U.S.A must have sticky label.
Thirdly, as has already been pointed out, the U.S.A are the U.K's colonial cousins and not the other way around.

Not that I have anything against the Americans.
It's just that this questioner seems a little dim.

I'm a little confused. You have cut and pasted another question and changed America to UK but not changed "10 points on offer for the funniest snipe against our colonial cousins". Colonial means "from the colonies", and since the UK was the possessor of the colonies, and not a colony itself, presumably the points are still for the funniest snipe against Americans?

At which point does Britain have a pamphlet for a history book when it has been invaded by the Romans, Saxons, Normans, been at War with the world twice, he french laods of times, been an empire and invnted the compute and WWW.

Then you have the US and Australia who exaggerate insignificant things such as the Alemoe or Ned Kelly as their history is a few hundred years old. Well done for having a siege, we have had hundreds if not thusands in our history but we do not go on about them, big deal. And well done Australia for having an 'outlaw', we had one too, called Roin Hood, but he became a fairy tale as everyone knws most of what is said abot him is rubbish.

Plus, we are just f*^&ing great

What? colonial cousins?!! Nooooooo what might once have been our colonial cousins have intermarried and Britain now is the NEW host colony.

Evidence to support this: in our town, even history has been rewritten! WW1 guns and Boer War exhibits removed from the town museum and replaced with an installation that celebrates muticulturalism. What do you think of that then?

The UK would have to win hands down for the "Kingdom" that has shrunk the most in the last century or so.. in fact now, the UK doesn't even own it's own land, since it has been invaded by the people IT invaded a few hundred years ago.. what goes around comes around..

Re scarman; lets see how mellow I am later, after I get the dentist bill to fix the tooth I had knocked loose last night.
Chill.

No, I am respecting England, Whales, Scot, North Ireland. They are the people enlightened others of the world by colonisation. Colonisation helps the countries unity, democracy, liberty, economy, growth, civilisation etc. Even your country may be colonised by England Queen, her dynocity enlightened us and absorbed us in the main stream world. Due to their richness and strong economy we may have distress, but if you think about the present growth of your (our) country and the reason for your development; it will be the Queen of England. We have to respect the Queen of England and all British people.

I don't want to insult the English because I LOVED going there and I want to go back but...I laughed out loud at ScarMan's tooth comment.

They were so nice to us when we were there and so were the French. The people in ROME were so rude that I will never go back there. If you ask for mean Roman comments I will put my thinking cap on...

Congrats, I just reached level 3 too.
They have a sense of "humour", let's see...

Their leader is Bush's toolbox.
Their food sucks.
Our women are prettier.
They still have fricken royalty.
All in all, Brits are just pretty darn gay, eh gov'na?

Not very witty, but accurate. J/K!
