Spinners Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Regarding the TSR.2 article, anyone who can use England, United Kingdom and Britain within the first 100 words and think that they are the same thing needs a smack around the head with a cricket bat... English willow of course. Quote

+JediMaster Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Britain is the name of the island, isn't it? So England, Wales, and Scotland = Britain. The UK then is Britain + N Ireland. "Who are the Britons?" "We all are. All of us who live here." "And who are you then?" "I am your king." "I didn't vote for you." Quote
+ianh755 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 That's right JediMaster, although there's not many UK residents would know that any more sadly as it's "cool" to be thick in the UK! Quote

Stick Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) "Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." From Ulysses by Lord Alfred Tennyson I'm no limey, but that's some stirring stuff, what!I think these lines were also quoted in Skyfall; though back in the nineties in a place once called Calcutta, there used to be a Physics teacher who'd open his first class with preceding verse from the same poem; "A bringer of new things; and vile it were For some three suns to store and hoard myself, And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought."
