Britain loves its national healthcare so much they’ve included a portion of the opening ceremony to bragging about it.
Britain, you are wonderful.

Oh dammit. Now I ship The US/Great Britain
thanks silly graphic.
“Listen, you have to let me be represented. I can’t just…keep giving you my heart and my taxes and not be a bigger part of your government. I want more than that. I deserve more than that.”
“You know I can’t. You knew that from the moment you went so far away. I just…this is what I have to give. I don’t have anymore. For God’s sake, there’s an ocean between us!”
“Fine. You know what, fine. Here, just, see all this goddamn tea you gave me? Well you can take it back. Here, fish it out of the harbor for all I care.”
“Don’t do this.”
“I have no choice. I’ll never be anything more than a colony to you.”
“America—”
“No, Britain. Don’t.”
“I can’t just let you go, you know that. I’ll fight for you if I have to.”
“And I will fight back.”
Good lord.^

You know you’re british when: this cloud is patriotic.
My friend saw this cloud today, I figured you’d be the people who’d appreciate it most :)
[It’s a little backwards, but it’s still damn cool]
That’s bloody amazing!
Unpopular opinion time: I couldn’t care less about the Royal Wedding.
I mean, I’m a very big Anglophile, but I really do not care. I guess it’s just because it’s a wedding; I’m really not interested in them at all.
We supposedly have these British (English, I’m assuming) exchange students attending my school right now, and I heard today that one of them compared our school to “Mean Girls.”
lolololol
Here is a pretty accurate guide to British accents.
The vast, vast, vast, vast, vast majority of British people don’t talk like how Americans think we do.
he is REALLY good with accents.
I wish more Americans would realize that there are more than one British accent. >_>
And as offensive as his Mexican accent was, there are a lot of Mexicans (as in people from Mexico) that do speak with that accent. xD
i-whip-my-blog-back-and-forth:
So, I was downtown today and I came across THIS STORE.
I must have passed it hundreds of times before now!
How have I never noticed it?
Anyway, this store is called Best of British: Fine Imported Goods from the UK and Ireland.
Food. Clothes. Music. EVERYTHING.
I could easily spend hundreds of dollars on stuff in that place.
WHAT. WHAT. WHAT. OMG WANT
Prince of Whales!
^ BEST THING EVER
This will always be fucking hilarious.
The United Kingdom Explained (by C. G. P. Grey)
Got it? Good.
That was actually relatively easy-to-follow, despite the fast-paced-ness.

Lately, I’ve been training myself to use British ways of speaking and writing.
For example,
- I’m now using spellings like “colour” and “favourite” rather than “color” and “favorite.”
- I’m now using spellings like “paedophile” instead of “pedophile” and pronouncing them with a long “e” sound. (Sorry; couldn’t think of a better example.)
- I’m writing my dates day-month-year rather than month-day-year.
- I’m trying to use different vocabulary for the same things (e.g. lift instead of elevator, flat instead of apartment, biscuit instead of cookie)—I need to work on this.
You get the point.
Once I get these down, I’ll start studying Centigrade and the metric system more. Then I’ll try working on my accent (which is actually quite bad).
Holy shit. We didn’t even hear about this in America. Yes, that’s an American site, but it wasn’t on the news.
holy shit
O_O Why hadn’t I heard about this already?
