Title: So.What is SO good about this country then?
Post by: GROWLER on July 08, 2007, 04:05:58 PM
I'm bloody sick well beyond my back teeth, of being constantly told that ...."this isn't such a bad country you know" by the latest load of shite to be published shortly, 'Gospel 6528 according to St. Mrs Growler'. ::)

Can you lot therefore please state your own long winded views on this matter, listing, preferably in alpahabetical order, the virtues of this FUCKIN' SHITHOLE, called Great Britain......PLEASE, before I go insane trying to think of something?

Sinking being the operetive werd too presently.

Our local rag informs us that a local town, VERY close to where our Nick resides, is on the verge of being consumed forever by the River Dee.

As long as Nick isn't there when it happens, I say WHOOOPEE!!! lol:

Right then. I'll start.
A.

Accident and Emergency treatment?

Crap. Full of chavs who've consumed too much 'White Lightning' and feel a little poorly...bless.
The staff generally have a couldn't care less attitude mainly because of point 1, which is just tough shit I'm afraid when you or I need genuine emergency treatment.
They're no doubt sick and tired of being verbally abused by the great well mannered even tempered patient British public, and listening to knob heads who've got a poorly foot for kicking someones head in.

Next?

It's good because chances are that if you have to live anywhere civalised due to having to work that it will be exactly the same as it is here. If you can retire to the middle of nowhere then it's a fab plan.

I love the UK, I bitch and I moan about it but then I am the sort of person that will always grumble regardless of where I am. You can move but you can never outrun yourself or your problems.

For those of you who lack a classical education, I will translate:


omnia dicta fortiora si dicta Latina


?Everybody has a bigger dick than you since you had that Puerto Rican bird?


meum est propositum in taberna Mori

?I was propositioned in the pub by a woman with a clipboard?

 
cor inbutum nectare volat ad superna

?You can shove your Nectar card in your bum and set fire to it?

Since when has latin been the lingua franca in a pub FFS? If you want to talk foreign, go abroad.  This is Engerland and we speak Engerlish innit.

The only bastard latin I know, is an ex company called 'Modus Operandi'  ( fckin' robbin' BASTARDS who's management living the life of luxury fleeced the staff and contractors alike...in english) and they went bust on me 6 years ago owing me a lot of dosh.

I therefore declare a personal and particular hatred for latin, so there. evil:
