Yeah I already said Scottish.

You guys did bring us Owen Nolan but he switched to our side.
And Steve Thomas.
A lot of the problems in the Middle East can be traced back to British interference.
All we did was bring tea and cricket, and Marmite, but it's not our fault it was that divisive!
At least they’re not Denmark.
Europe's Canadia.
We got plenty of those here, animal and human form.
Indeed
I’m retired. I just send a guy.
Well send him, dammit, go get your own car!
It doesn’t matter, I’m gonna talk shit.

What the actual fuck? Ain’t no wonder y’all wanted India so bad if this is what you consider seasoning…
Don't knock until you try the glory that is Monster Munch
Great success.
High Five!
 
Still better than Denmark.
Obviously.

It’s okay, we tried with every shape and border type and still fucked it up. We gave up intricacy like the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast towards the end and just started making squares and weird shapes the further west we went.
Well, atleast your country doesn't look like a shriveled-up dick... :shake

I feel like it’s still missing letters… maybe an “s” instead of the “c” at the end of something.

Also did wonder why Oklahoma was such a dumb shape.

Texas didn’t want that bit. I have a friend who lives near there. She cannot confirm or deny what goes on there.

Nah, it’s just ran by them.

Have you seen Florida?

We don’t talk about Florida. Florida is to America is what Australia is to Britain.

My favorite thing about British people is how serious they take the Full English. If you post a photo of an attempt that looks kinda shitty they will roast the fuck out of you

Not sure if anyone is looking for a serious answer but it's because Texas wanted to keep slavery. It's the Missouri Compromise Line, parallel 36°30′ north. Texas ceded land so they could keep slaves.
 
Fixed that for you.
Europe in general fucked Africa. All of Africa's modern problems can be traced back to the Scramble for Africa. Many of the colonizing countries dipped out suddenly without helping those countries transition. They came in, robbed the continent of their resources and unceremoniously dipped out once being colonizers was considered to be a bad thing.

To be honest, I think it's a generational thing. My mum cooks like how her mum taught her - seasonings are a mystery foreign thing. Salt and pepper if you're lucky. Boils the hell out of everything, so any flavour it once had is long gone. No surprise I grew up thinking I was a fussy eater, na, turns out my mum can't cook that well.

I'm really thankful I taught myself to cook, which means I actually use things with flavour in them.

Kinda traumatised that the back and forth post-quoting has continued this long. Especially on the subject of crisps/chips. Respect to Crystal for single-handedly holding up the British side of the banter.

Anyhoo mod close thread please. :cop:smash

It’s not mine to close but I thought I’d try my luck. If you want a winner, I’d award it to everyone who looked at this thread and decided not to take part.

Now why would we go and do a thing like that when this is the closest nations have come to agreeing with one another since before NATO and the UN?

The only definitives we’ve witnessed is that Florida has a Canadian sister, nobody likes Denmark, and the French are quitters.

Then we taught it to you guys, and then you Manifested Destiny all over the rest of the country

…it’s better than the Brits taking over the whole of North America. Canada and Mexico would have ceased to exist and Mexico would be called like New Spain or some shit.

We're definitely bad at naming shit. New York? New South Wales? I can only assume it's our fault it's called New Mexico.
I’d count the pomp and dressup amongst the failures
We should've never got rid of top hats as normal wear. Been all downhill since then.

There’s no telling what goes on in the SW. The heat scrambles their brains. Right, @Crystal ?

Because that’s what the world’s missing right now… a buncha Mr. Monopoly looking dudes with monocles and twirly mustaches.
