I know. It doesn't bother me now, though. I'm used to it. I've been a member of this forum for nearly 15 years. I've seen them all come and go - great, stupid, and weird. I think me and just one other person are all that survive from the class of '04.
All the stupidos and weirdos back then have been completely replaced.
I'm as sane as I was then as a 23 year old.
I'm British. So I'm like a cat. Uncanny survival ability and never-say-die attitude. Hardy.
We left you behind about a century ago ... literally and figuratively. So did the Aussies and Kiwis and we all chuckle a little when we look back.
Poor, backwards Britain.
After the carnage of WWI is when the long "sayonara" started with the Dominions.
Apart from the fact that many of these countries, such as Canada, wouldn't even exist were it not for the British Empire yet I see no gratitude for it, that still doesn't mean that Canada is years ahead of us.
I don't recall anything you've ever done that's blown my mind.
Had it not been for the Brits, we'd probably have ended up with some multinational condederacy called Turtle Island spanning from the North pole to Northern Mexico.
False. If you look at the Canada-US border, it's a totally artificial, man-made line. It's a purely political construct, not a geographical one.
Invented insulin?
No gratitude is needed. Britain didn't found Canada for the benefit of Canadians.
I love the hilarious denial mode that some posters go into when I point out that Canada owes its existence to the British Empire.
It's a very good point that cannot be genuinely denied. Because it's true.
Considering I get up at 12:30pm, start work at 2pm and finish at 10pm, 12am is nothing to me. It's the equivalent of 7pm to most people.
It's nearly 11:20pm now. I still haven't got home from work. I've been hanging around town for a bit. I've still got to go to the takeaway and have a few hours on the XBox yet.
