Country Discussion: England

[summerisle]

Lovely land, fascinatingly diverse scenery in a compact area due to diverse geology. Superb climate.

Irrational, anally retentive, badly educated, broken people, the result of a feudal class system based on a lucky win by William I and his gang of Norman chancers. Absolutely deluded that the British bulldog spirit gets them through, when really all they do is blindly patriotically and unthinkingly hold up a system that has repressed and exploited them for a millennium for the benefit of the few - led by the aristocracy established silent upper echelons of society - William's mates' land owning tory descendants.

Just off the top of my head like.

It is not how WORLD championships work, my friend.

You'll catch on, I'm sure.

Until someone steps up and knocks us off World Champions it will remain.

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Too many ungrateful wokes,

other than that poor weather, poor politics and worst of all, awful media.


GSOH though

Can't be having poor weather as a shout, it has a climate with amounts of sun and rain that are provide ideal conditions together with geological considerations for trees, plants and vegetables to sustain its inhabitants.

WORLD events are played by country vs country, not team vs team from country.

Different ball game, which you should know, having a fake "football" in your own country.

Plus with regards to weather it is a remarkably safe place to live.

No significant wild weather like tidal waves, droughts, typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes etc.

The waters around the island are too cold for to home creatures that pose a risk to humans such as shark species that would attack humans etc. So it's a little cold but you can swim in safety generally.

Just because I'm bored the history of this goes back to the World Series being named as the World Series as marketing ploy borrowing from the World's Fair. That obviously stuck and the term World Series Champion and World Champion kind of just became interchangeable. But then as history went along it kept happening and spread to football and basketball too. And unfortunately for you and everyone else this makes angry no one else has put together a competition to challenge ours. So like it or not the Champion in each sport is the best club team in the world. The label is correct.

I'm one more Tory election win away from seriously considering emigrating.

 

[Sadken]

I think this country is getting worse by the day, crime, health care etc . If I was young I would emigrate, maybe I am just a grumpy arl arse, it seemed a better place in the 60,s 70,s and 80,s . Rant over .

 

[BlueInNZ]

I have never regretted leaving.

Ever notice how the English discovered irony right around the same time they were becoming geopolitically irrelevant?

Experience is the greatest teacher.

Could quite happily live down on the Otago peninsula just outside of Dunedin.
