That's because you come from an "Imperialistic Empire," full of lust, and greed, and thoughts of world-conquest, and "Delusions of Grandeur . . .!! You Brits gonna invade us a "third" time?

You Brits gonna invade us a "third" time? Hey no delusions buddy, hard fact, our pioneering spirit had us rule most of the world and we started the Industrial Revolution, with great engineering and invention. However our socialist utopia now has us terrified of our own shadows, everything you say is now offensive to some minority, freedoms have long gone and the sad thing is that people are totally unaware of it and think it normal. We are ripe for the picking, no one ever learns through history, these are facts you can check, the Royal Navy the most powerful in the world for centuries does not have enough men to man what few vessels remain nor enough money to put to sea more than a few weeks a year. We put so called refugees in better housing than we do our troops, god forbid they kill someone as they will end up in court, we currently have two policeman on murder charges for using their tasers when on duty etc etc etc. The following old joke sums up the current situation perfectly, you all keep a bed for me over there, I may yet need it in my lifetime. Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy." Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): "' England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' - What gobbledegook is this?" Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting ' England ' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco." Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments." Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men before battle." Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking." Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ........... full speed ahead." Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water." Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please." Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir." Nelson: "What?" Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected." Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy." Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck Admiral." Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd." Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled." Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card." Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency." Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons." Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?" Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy." Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral." Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!" Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks." Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?" Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not." Nelson: "We're not?" Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation." Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil." Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report." Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King." Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life" Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?" Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment." Nelson: "What about sodomy?" Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir." Nelson: "In that case............................... kiss me, Hardy."

Guess I could google it...but I'm just gonna be lazy Yes we still have close relationships with the Commonwealth even though most are independent now, but a lot have our Queen as their Queen. So in a way there is somewhere worldwide where the sun is shining, an hour is fifteen degrees of longitude. With an average day of say eight hours that is one third of the world minimum lit at any one time, as far as I can see there is a colony or dependency or commonwealth country that fits in everywhere, seasons permitting. Would you like to give us New England back ? we need the full set. Edited November 20, 2019 by RobMc spinpuppy and JohnnyDos 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First idea, Barry the bisexual bunny ? who cross dresses in fox furs alienating him from the other bunnies, he is forced to live in a burrow with a wicked weasel who pimps him out as a rent boy. Then one day when crossing a field he discovers magic mushrooms, before long he is running a mushroom empire, and that is why rabbits hop ??? Schools will love it. 2/.
