    You make the country sound like "Cheers", it kind of is though when I think about it: Over-rated and intensely boring.

    So it's kind of like Dublin then. :D

    In fairness, i would say 90% of the people who live in Dublin don't actually take advantage of that fact.

    Cant beat living in the country, fresh air, no scumbags walking around, not many houses nearby, make as much noise as you want, go for walks etc etc.

    Go look at a field of lambs

    It's lambing season :)

    Bring the children, every child loves lambs
    Leave the dog at home

    I think you can shoot stuff in the countryside, you could also keep an eye on the neighbours and rally around the roads on your tractor.

    When driving, you must only raise one finger from the top of the steering wheel

    Eyebrows should also be set to the elevated position during this maneuver

    A tongue in cheek translation for ye city folk

    Fresh air = Cow ****

    No Scumbags around (but we won't mention the man over the hill what nicks sheep, or the OAP down the road what beats his sister black and blue)

    Not many houses nearby = We be such rich farmers we did not have to sell any plots to survive (Or this is really the arsehole of the world, and nobody wants to live here

    Make as much noise as you like = Nobody can hear us/Nobody notices us just like the homeless in the city

    go walks etc etc. + flecking bastardign father what stuck us in the middle of the arse end of a bog and his effign walking.

    Look, until you've finished your penance for whatever horrible crime has resulted in your exile to the countryside, you're not allowed to do anything but suffer.

    Them's the rules.

    I would love to live in the British countryside, which is the best in the world.

    Just imagine it: a boiling hot summers's day in the English countryside. The birds are singing and the bluebells are out. You are strolling along a country lane with fields and flowers on either side, watching the odd squirrel climbing up a tree and the odd colourful songbird landing on a hawthorn bush at the side of the lane. You turn a corner and see a gaggle of geese on their way to slaughter, honking as they walk down the road. Then you arrive at the pretty little village. The village cricket team is playing a neighbouring village's team on the pitch to the left of the road. Some of the spectators are relaxing in the little grandstands transfixed by the game. Some are wearing strawboaters, ties in the MCC colours and sunglasses. Familes are sat on the blankets at the side of the pitch eating jam butties, drinking scrumpy and sunbathing. As you walk further into the village you pass a row of stone cottages with colourful flowers in baskets hanging over their doors. Then you come to the village centre with is large war memorial with wreaths of poppies lay down beneath it. Surrounding it is a large flower bed with the village's name - BLOSSOMBY - spelled out in colourful flowers. To your right stands the village pub, The Three Wheatsheafs, with drinkers drinking English ales such as Pride of England, Jerusalem, Suffolk Springer, King Alfred's and Hobgoblin. You enter the pub and discover it is a quintessential English pub. There are old photographs of the village cricket team on the walls; 100-year-old ale bottles decorating some shelves; old farming equipment like scythes fixed to a wall. In the corner is a troop of hot and sweaty Morris Dancers dressed in all their finery, drinking bitter after entertaining the locals. You walk to the bar, order the pub's best ale, then sit outside in the beer garden, savouring the glorious sunshine.

    The countryside boring? No way.

    And most importantly, no pesky foreign types.

    It's never done that with me. You must have a weak constitution.

    Thankfully we don't get many of those in the countryside, although there are starting to be a few Asians moving there.

    It won't be long before whole English villages, just like many areas of England's towns and cities, become Asian ghettos. When that happens the villages will be ruined and will not be worth living in.

    Maybe that's it. I wouldn't want to have to clean the perfect English jacks in that pub when the night is over though.

    Oh god no, not them!
    Not people who aren't quite like you!
    Not the Asians!


    This is the worst.
    Close down the entire countryside. It's all over.
