Send her victorious, etc

[stubbleupdate]

Based on chat in another thread, I got to wondering how many posters here are blessed enough to be either British or living in Blighty. Can we have a quick British roll call, if you'd be so kind? (And by using that phrase, I got myself lost in an hour of watching Bioshock videos. Oops).

(People from other countries should feel free to comment in this post too. It's got drinking, singing, open top sports scars, a man pissing in a field... it's got EVERYTHING!)

In the interests of posting something in a British spirit I had a little rummel through my collection. I've already posted Clubbing and somebody had beaten me to the punch for Gerry and the Fucking Skrull Pacemakers. So, how about some more Queen and Country engaging in that most British of activities; getting pissed and indulging in some quiet vandalism.

The main context is that Tara and Tom are two Special Ops agents who have had to visit the sister of another Special Ops agent and give her the official lie about her brother dying in a plane crash, instead of the truth that he died doing the government's dirty work. Tom and Tara repair to the pub to get smashed. Then, they leave the pub.

Pip pip.

Cheers old bean... I'll see if I can dig out the "Excalibur go to the pub" issue.

[curlyjo1]

Was that the "Moira is unintelligible when she's had a few" issue? Fun one.

[tellitslant]

Canadian transplant ahoy.

[18lemons]

Another Brit here.
In addition to wondering how many Brits we have here, how many of us are going to the British International Comic Show this year? Would anybody fancy a scans daily meet up or anything?

[whitesycamore]

Huh, it's in Birmingham! That's actually not too bad, considering I live in Nottingham...

I just assumed it would be in London or something. So yeah, I guess I might go.

[kenwyn89]

Celt be here 'dreckley.

I'm from a tourist town. We open late, shut early and stare evilly at anyone who feeds seagulls.

[korvar]

I was born in Australia, but I would have been in the UK for nearly thirty years, were it not completely impossible for me to be that old.

[kusonaga]

Not a Brit, but I have lived there.

[curlyjo1]

Same here.

[greenmask]

Certainly not me, of course.

[greenmask]

..Youth in Kent, teens in the West Mids, uni a bit northern and back in Shakespeareland now, since everyone else is being all precise.

[feyandstrange]

Not a Brit, but I did four years in London and have much affection for it.

[cainofdreaming]

Closest I come to being a Brit is that my mom's second cousin lived there, before moving to Germany. But I'd like to think we've got a certain Bran Mak Morn in our ancestry.

[minervasolo.livejournal.com]

Pansy Southerner transplanted to the Grim Oop Narth :)

[shadeedge]

Evening, all. Another Londoner (well, Greater) checking in.

[arysteia]

From the Realm of New Zealand, of which HM the Queen is queen in her own right (that is to say she's not the Queen of England when she's visiting us).

[whitesycamore]

Brit here! English by birth, although Welsh/Italian by blood.

I think we ought to specify countries of origin, if only because it really gets my goat when people just use British to mean English, and forget about the other countries in Britain...

[18lemons]

In that case, my mother is English, my father is Scottish, we live in England but I was made and born in Germany.

[christianconnor]

English here: another soft southerner.

[misterbug]

Moonlighting in Canterbury during the Uni years, resident in peaceful, dull old GLoucestershire the rest of the time.

[proteus_lives]

Broke the window, I say.

[blackruzsa]

AH
I HAVE A THICK PAPER BACK OF THIS IN MY BAG FROM OUR LIBRARY. How could you tell? Are you trying to tell me that I should read it RIGHT NOW?

Aheh :D

[skjam]

Just stationed there for a year at a military base that no longer exists. (Last I checked, it was a parking lot.)

[shatners_bassoon]

Brit here too, Londoner to be precise.

[golden_orange]

What-ho! [adjusts monocle]

Englishman abroad here (Australia to be precise).

Ever so late to the post, terribly sorry about that

[jazzypom]

Hail from the sunny(!) East Midlands.

Re: Ever so late to the post, terribly sorry about that

[endis_ni]

I know, it's weird and unnatural, isn't it? Where's my protective layer of drizzle?

[blunderbuss]

From Australia, which is technically a part of Britian via the Commonwealth.

Also those two ops are assholes. "Nevermind that it's late, we want you to stop going home and serve us!" I just wish I was allowed to tell my customers to piss off too.

[stubbleupdate]

Never mind that if you sell booze outside of licensing hours then it's the Tower for you.

[red_cyclone]

British, spending my life shuttling back and forth between London and Brighton. Still very proud of the 1/4 of me that is Maltese though.

[endis_ni]

Okay, who shone the Brit-signal?

Grew up in Kent, now living in a city in the East Midlands. We-ell, I say city...
