Well substantiated, looks like the names apt. -- Posted by Daleacus at 1:34 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 People, crap. Policies, worse. Geography, quite good. -- Posted by doddy92 at 1:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 i love the uk but dont like how it is run -- Posted by MystiqueBeauty16 at 1:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 I think the UK has a couple of very hot guys with very hot British accents. -- Posted by Micus at 1:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 bad teeth -- Posted by sile at 1:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 I don't like it so far but i haven't seen that much of it to be fair. It's mainly English larger louts i don't like. -- Posted by acausedelle at 1:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Good day old chap, do ya fancy a cup of tea? You talk cool... -- Posted by Spiral at 1:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 I love it, I'd hate to live anywhere else. The people are crap (other than festival people, they're all really nice), the policies suck and the geography is alright. -- Posted by robdude at 1:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Good weather in the summer -- Posted by Molfsontan at 1:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 I'd like it if not for the horrible people in that country that supposedly "speak English".  That dialect some Brits get...ugh... -- Posted by Spice at 1:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from Micus at 9:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 bad teeth Not true! *bears teeth* -- Posted by Free 2b Me at 1:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 "We're just a bunch of stoned, illiterate, wheezing, shagging, lardy bastards....CHAMPIONS!!!" -- Posted by themagicposition at 1:38 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from Micus at 9:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 bad teeth major generalisation. -- Posted by Sincerely Dark at 1:38 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 No matter what we study in Global Studies, the British have been there at some point. They've screwed with everybody at some point in time. -- Posted by Spiral at 1:39 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 9:36 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Good day old chap, do ya fancy a cup of tea? You talk cool... I'm sorry to tell you that nobody talks like that. That's America's comical view of the UK. (Family Guy, Simpsons view...) You won't find many people talking like the Queen, we don't all have huge jaws and most of us brush our teeth just as much as Americans. -- Posted by LEONIDOS at 1:39 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 NOT AS MANY SHOOTINGS RAPES OR MURDERS COMPARED TO USA -- Posted by Free 2b Me at 1:40 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from themagicposition at 1:38 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from Micus at 9:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 bad teeth major generalisation. Yup I was attemptin to disporve that generalistion a while ago -- Posted by bstodge at 1:44 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 European food is pretty good... -- Posted by bdfhjl at 1:54 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Seems interesting. I've heard london is very cloudy most of the time but it still seems nice. Sugar Rush made me want to visit Brighton. The people seem like they'd be nice but I know a lot don't like americans. the culture to me seems to be the middle between french and german culture and the us. -- Posted by Micus at 1:58 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from UnusualOne at 4:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from Micus at 9:35 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 bad teeth Not true! *bears teeth* Then why is it in all of your pictures you make it so you can never see your teeth? -- Posted by Spice at 2:03 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Quote: from Micus at 9:58 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 Then why is it in all of your pictures you make it so you can never see your teeth? I'll take a picture of my teeth if you REALLY want. =\ -- Posted by allsmiles at 1:00 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Free 2b Me at 9:37 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 "We're just a bunch of stoned, illiterate, wheezing, shagging, lardy bastards....CHAMPIONS!!!"     Yay for the troll! -- Posted by I am still waiting at 12:26 am on Aug. 30, 2008 Quote: from themagicposition at 1:32 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 What do the people of Livewire think of the UK?

Well the UK turned into a vassal of its former colony, which is kinda low. -- Posted by the raven at 8:16 am on Aug. 31, 2008 I would never live there, ever. I'm sure it's nice to visit there, but I don't jump on the uneducated bandwagon of people who want to move to England or surrounding areas because they think it's cool, when they don't even know the laws or quality of life. -- Posted by undercoverchic at 8:48 am on Aug. 31, 2008 I really don't know much about the UK, except that some really good musicians came from there. I've always wanted to take a semester to study there, but I can't afford it. The literature coming from the UK is so much better than the stuff that a lot of American writers come up with. All I know of its government is that it's a parlimentary democracy. I've never met a person from the UK, so I couldn't tell you. -- Posted by WhiteDwarf at 11:27 am on Aug. 31, 2008 I'm not very fond of the weapons laws, chavs, the NHC, the BNP or the omniscient CCTV system your government implemented. I can't remember if this is existing, or just another nazi policy the BNP is trying to push for, but I rememer hearing about speeding cameras on your highways that will snap a shot of you speeding and mail you a ticket? If that's existing, then that's another thing I dislike, if not, it's just another reason I hate the BNP. I also don't like the fact that Ireland is still split. Can't say I'm fond of the fashionable and condescending attitude towards yanks either. I've never been to the UK though so I don't have formulated opinions of the country. I have met quite a few English/Irish and one Welsh lad, and they were all very polite and congenial so I do have a high opinion of the people. All in all, I have a high regard for the UK, almost familial-like in quality. Pages: 1 2  Next
