Hahah.. seems to be! Will we move on to the Hot Guy thread or summat?

The only reason there isnt any historical resentment towards countries like Scotland is because you are a small non threatening country that has never had the power to piss off other countries. Or build an empire by colonising a third of the world.

you are the small embattled underdog country. Everybody likes underdogs.

They still managed to piss the Americans off by releasing the Lockerbie bomber though

It's arrogant people like you that actually put me off the UK. If anyone I met over there was like you i'd be gutted, hopefully they aren't though.

And here is the kind of attitude that backs up what I'm saying.

lol yep.

Neither of you have denied it's not true though...

We have never been a "United Kingdom"; the Scots, Welsh and Irish have always hated us, and the English have not cared one jot. Even now, with most of the world despising us and laughing at us, the English rise above it, secure in the honour and privilege of just being English - the bulldog spirit is still alive and well

Which part? I'd say it's true that we have never invaded and colonized a third of the world..but I don't really see how that's something to be proud of to be honest and I think zippys apparent pride in this part of Englands history is what pisses people e off.

I'd also say that yes it is true that we are a small country but I disagree that we are umderdogs. Just because we are smaller, does not mean we are in any way inferior to England. I find zippys suggestion that we are umderdogs very typical and basically a fine example of the type of **** that puts people's backs up!

You are always made out to be the underdogs, just watch Braveheart or repeats of the Euro 2000 Qualifier in 1999 which we obviously won over two legs

You're a fucking dope, so you are. It's 2011. Irish people have about as much of a grudge against the English as the English do with us. Which is to say none at all save for a meaningless minority of extremists.

Stop trying to fight the world. Fold away your trash rags and cool your jets.

Ahh.. well the way I look at it is we all live ina great part of the world. You only have to watch the news to realise how lucky we are to be Scottish/English/Irish/Welsh/British/whatever.

Spoiler:

underdogs? away and have a word with yourself! you're just jealous because we are in fact the greater country! We have our own national anthem, our own language, our own national dress, national drink, national dress etc etc.. What do you have? morris dancers??

*please nobody start an argument with me re my last statement.. I cba and it's really just banter and I enjoy winding young Novo up... ta
