    Tbh would simply mean you do not have a life!!

    I agree, it was obvious play on Brit-Hate to invoke reaction. I'm sure, like I do, URL spent the required 72 man hours reviewing and editing the thread before posting. He would have spent at least 6 hours on the title and decided the risk of offence was worth the amount of thanks received in return while depending on people to jump to his defence throughout the thread life-cycle to keep it active and receive as much thanks as possible!

    What did I just say? :pac:

    Over 700 years of opression is enough to hate them for, but every one of them I've met is not THE ONE to hate (they've all been normal just like us), I'm just waiting till I meet him or her then I'll show them the face I've been saving for them, just wait......

    People having family/friends round for Christmas - more food to store. Might think "Well let's get a bigger fridge" ?
    or lets just invite them when they are after the dinner...:D

    the phrase 'the brits' is used by a colourful - and easily defined - minority on this island....

    Totally agree with you.

    Britain historically made a lot of ethical errors,but I think it is plain stupid to keep having a ceaseless hangover over it.Most of the Brits as we know them today were not privy to those atrousious acts and it would be very stupid to sink to the level of the their ancestors that commited those crimes.

    A thread about a posh shop getting ready for christmas has turned into a republican-bashing thread.

    I think most posts have been quite civil...within reason.

    not republican bashing Tom, I'm a republican, I love my republic, I just don't see the need to hate people for the sake of hating or where they were born or where they live...

    Oh ok, sorry.. I misunderstood.
    For what it's worth, I'd be more on the republican side (which sounds a ridiculous thing for an English lad to say :P)

    EDIT: What a strange 1,000th post!

    There's alot of absolute dicks in this thread,

    If you're gonna assume that I'm against British people then you better have a good reason to do so

    Show me a thread where I've shown anything of the sort, and if you think I'm being offensive report it, I've reported many of your posts ;)

    If you think I'm a wanker then ignore me, there's a block button you can use

    I don't care if you if you're small minded enough to take everything to heart

    Does the strange thing have to be to do with this thread? :P If so, my great uncle was in the 'RA and disowned my nan when she married an Englishman; and would only call my uncle Sean 'John' because he wasn't Irish :P


    If it's random... ermm.. last year, I spent half of my geography lessons discussing banjos, letting homeless people sleep in the classrooms, and red light districts (seriously :/)

    I look at the thread title and I understand why Ireland is the way it is.

    I think the problem would be that you sometimes have a poor way of expressing yourself

    Or at least change the title then!! This Brit bashing is getting tiresome. The title in itself is inflamatory. What has a department store bringing out its christmas stuff early got to do with hating the British?

    If that is the case, why not start every crazy story thread with ''Main reason to hate the Americans" or "Main reason to hate the Germans." Grow up for gods sake.

    I think a lot of your posts are entertaining... but who is this aimed at..? I don't think there is anything offensive in the last couple of pages.
