Britain is such a great country i thought that it deserved a topic. firetoung, would you be willing to answer any questions?

Um... yeah. Especially if they're about guards in big furry hats lol

ya about them, is it possible to make them laugh?

*sigh* I've tried... but I don't think they ever do lol They don't even move their eyes, it's freaky...

Or get them pissed?

do they get lunch breaks?

uh... I guess. I've never seen them move though... actually I saw the changing of the guard once when they were all marching round, but that was it. Do we have to talk about guards all evening? lol

can you streak in front of them and they wont even close their eyes or anything?

rofl I dunno- maybe you should try!

im funny, but not that funny. plus, should you walk by i dont want you seeing me like that.

lol me neither...

Britain... Hrm. Furry hats.. Why don''t our police have furry hats ; ;

their not that cool.

The police don't have furry hats lol Just the royal guards that hang round Buckingham palace

do you ever see the queen shoping or somthing?

Hahaha, I'd doubt that..

it would be interesting seeing THE QUEEN! i mean, its the queen!

lol like the queen goes shopping...

isnt she rich?

She's got people to do it for her.. LOL

well duh She probably gets somebody to do all her shopping for her.

Edit: Like wolvie just said lol

i think this will be a popular topic.

lol well silver rider and glenwing and that new person should get involved too- they're all from britain.

Glenwings from Britain?

now, about the acsents. do you know that you have one or do you not recodnise it?

and why do they wear those hats if real danger came up the hats would be a distraction and a great way to give away your position. (seems like they're being used as decoration to me)

He's from Scotland (which is in Britain obviously)


I must have an accent, but not notice it. It's about as strong as the ones in the Harry Potter films. Everyone has an accent.


Of course they're just for decoration, they're the queen's guards lol I expect if anything happened, they'd take them off.

dunno... mebbe they pull them over the person's head so they can't see?
or mebbe specifically to show off their position so you know the place is guarded.

another thing, why do yo usay " fancy" instead of like?

dunno. Why do you say sneakers instead of trainers? Anyway, I've got to go to bed now. Night.

because we can i guess.

Trainers? Why do you say Jolly good instead of really good? Maybe you dont Firetongue, but some britains do i think.

i think, " jolly good! " is cooler than " realy good"

I think you have a "Jolly Good" point.


And do you really say "bloody" to describe things that are just bad, or is that just a movie thing.

i think thats cooler too.

Well its a bloody lot better than certain words of choice in USA.. And they get the point across without bleeps. <.<;

we have a lot of freedom i think thats why.

Ya... what happens if you are profane in front of a royal guard?

good question. firetounge?

"silvertongue" is gone now i guess <.<

its night time over their? hu...

lol my temprorary nickname for her since she was teasing me about mixing up names you can be... hrm solenbum is hard to mix up... soberbum?

what ever.

so back to "Jolly Good" Britain...
and trying to escape the subject of those "Bloody" furry hats and their owners.

what do british teens do for entertainment, where we're all into the hack-and-slash, shoot`em up, etc. thing?

i am! (in video gamicly speaking.)

same, in video games. Even though some of my friends are for real...
At least buckingham palace has guards (lol here i go again) one of my friends from school had a knife visible on his waist and was walking around outside WV's capitol complex... During a community event thingy of course, but still.... I mean i swear he could just walk up to the governer, stab him, and walk away without even being noticed.

we know that kinda think will never happen to the queen.

save this one for fireounge, what is you natinal anthem?

........Its God Save The Queen.

what are the words?

.............use google

Isn't it:

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen

dude. how do you know that?

.........she used google

lol, yea pretty much

does britain have google?

lol How can Britain not have google- it's on the internet. (Good morning by the way- yes it was night-time but I'm up again now). I found out that those fuzzy black hats are made of real bearskin- eww. I didn't know that Americans don't say "bloody hell" or whatever, here it's just like every day swearing (not that I swear every day lol). I have never ever heard anyone say "jolly good"- maybe a hundred years ago they did. Loads of people over here are into shooting games and stuff too- not being allowed real guns means we don't accidentally shoot family members lol By the way, wyrda, that's the right anthem, but I think there's loads more verses as well.

That would be considered just as rude as any other swearing (that is obviously censored on SF). Also we use bugger as a swear word which americans don't have.

I watched in Johny English (Rowan Atkinson) it said that the Queen own the whole land, is that true ?? So IF the Queen by any chance wants your home you have to give it to her right away...?

uh... I don't know. She does own the whole land, so I guess you would have to. She has her own palace though, I don't think she'd want somebody's house And, it's official that she personally owns every single swan, so you're not allowed to kill them of hurt them, or keep them as a pet, because they all belong to the queen.

Swan..?? That's interesting..!!
Ok. If you go to another country and you bought (or been given) a swan there,, and you managed to bring it back with you to your house,, willl it 'automatically' change possessor..??

uhhh... good question lol

Have you ever eaten Turkish Delight? I did and i thought it was gross

Yeah- I don't like it either. Too... floppy lol

have you ever treid frog legs?

No, and I don't want to.

i hate frogs. bla!

lol frog's legs are french anyway.

i cant get those rediculus gaurds out of my head!

lol I still think it's gross how their hats are bear skin...

i thought they were beavers.

nope. bear. yuk.

i like bears.

so everything that's french is gross?

lets try it!(grabs a swan, rolls into russia, thinks hes safe, bunch of royal guards come and beat me down)doesnt.......work..........
(dont make french jokes, lil killer will kill you!)

french are a cool sorta people.

They have tempers though belive me i live with a frenchman

Well that's a generalisation. Anyway, I was just pointing out that the eating of frog's legs originated in France. Nothing rude there (I hope).

cool topic, pity i can't think of anything interesting to say about britain at the moment. theres not really anything interesting where i live.

nor where i live. Its a toatal bore here.

I don't think there's anything interesting anywhere in Britain lol Oh well, Solembum seems to love it.

Yeah. Well hes the one who made the topic so we should all know.

britain is sweet!

ok this is a question about the gaurds i am wondering....

I heard that if you touch them they will hurt you and move but if you go really close and not touch them they wont do a thing

also Have you ever gone up to a gaurd?

Firetongue i think hes talking to you.

Yes well I happened to be asleep when he posted that. I dunno about that. I did go up to one, but never touched him. I don't think they would hurt you, but I dunno- I never tried lol

oh i don't know about that. i hate all my cousins becoz they all live in france and they jus act like they know everything but they're so pathetically stupid. french are cool people when they move to canada, yeah

try and poke one would you firetounge. i wana know what happens.

lol I dunno- I don't wanna get hit with a gun lol

i saw one guy who acsedentaly touched one. he got hit in the head with a gun. im not sure they would do that to one of the locals.

lol maybe it was because they thought they were gonna stab them or something, so they tried to knock him out?

o-well. my parents were talking about taking a europien vacation one day. ill just have to see for my self.

lol when's one day then? And European could be anywhere in Europe- France, Germany, Italy, Spain etc. not specifically Britain lol

i was talking to them about britian. and one day might be in a cuople of months maby a year. it depends how fast my moms home bisness starts getting alot of money.

That's cool, but I still don't get why you would want to come to Britain.

i think the mojority of it is to hear the people talk.

oookkk... did you see that accent link I posted somewhere? Here it is again anyway:

http://www.mktmania.com/foreignaccentvoiceovers.html

wich one are you on the female side on the british one?

lol well I'm not personally there, but I would say my accent is most like Faye (my accent, not voice)

becka is creepy.

lol yeah, bit mental too! Anyway- got to go for dinner now. Be back online later.

see ya here.
