The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
Ok. Now I'm not one to start heated debates about which country is the best or, for that matter, encourage inter-continental rivalry; so in the spirit of non-competitiveness I propose the following contest:
Tell us why why it's great to be British, American, Outer Mongolian or whatever nationality you are by listing some or all the things that make your country great.
For example:
It's great to be British because of tea, proper spelling, roundabouts, Big Ben, a really cool flag and driving on the left.
If you want to be really specific you can tell us why it's great to live in the town, county or state you live in.
I dont mean to be funny but its nice and everything - but is it cool?
Maybe I've been brainwashed by hollywood but the stars and stripes is probably a cooler flag...
anyway driving on the left is cool because it means you get to operate the gears (the proper way to drive - a manual shift) with your right hand - and as people are usually right handed this proves my point

Go to your room. Think long and hard about what you've just said and don't come out until you're ready to say sorry. The Union Jack is clearly the coolest flag in the world. It has a much better proprtion of red white and blue than the US, which goes way overboard with the red and white. And everyone knows that horizontal stripes make you look fatter. And the Union Jack is symmetrical, which is much better.

Er... you may wish to revisit this...
Another great thing about being British is Top Gear. Oh yeah!

Ah but the US flag has stars on it -
As for the driving thing - I retract my comments... damn it...

Look at the Union Jack, dude. It's like one big star. And one big star it better than 50 little ones! You get far more star for your money with our flag.

The Union Jack annoys me a little. It is made from a mix of the St Georges cross (Englands flag) and the St Andrews cross (Scottish flag) ... completely ignoring the other two major companants of the United Kingdom. Bar stewards.
Anyway, Britain is better than America because of proper biscuits, correct spellings, an almost fanatical hatred of the French, ale, proper mustard (thanks to my Alabama pal Bill for that one), irony, clever sarcasm, the memory of Spitting Image, all our native wildlife is too proud of the nation as a whole to kill us via the unsportsmanlike method of "venom", IKB, the Golden Eagle and chips that are chips and not crisps.
America is better than Britain in some instances though. 1) No matter how big an arse your leader is, the longest you've got him for is 8 years. 2) It's easier to win a spelling contest there
Many good points there, Hengle, my friend, however I must correct you on your dissembling of the Union Jack. It actually takes 3 of the four 'countries' in the UK - England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, ignoring only Wales, which is excluded on account of being a principality rather than a country. There's an act of union from Henry VIII's time, I think.
No need to get all patriotic on my arse, cos I ain't sayin' that I agree with that state of affairs.
Anyways, you have your own flag with a very cool dragon on it. So what you complainin' about?
