fixed it for you seece ... you see how much of your "great British" awesomness comes from us scots?

Yes, it's Great Britain, not Great England.

Having said that:

-You can't claim Bond, just because you had the best Bond actor! Ian Fleming was English!

-England invented the world wide web, so there.

Sean Connery = James Bond. that is all.

and if i remember my history lessons, dear Kantor, it was a Scotsman who invented the television (John Logie Baird) and yet another who invented the telephone (Alexander Graham Bell).

i'll let it sink in before laughing at you

No, Daniel Craig *ugh* is James Bond. oh come on, Kantor.. you saw amp316's thread... its practically a fact!  Sean Connery IS James Bond!

The Scots may have invented the TV and the telephone, but nobody uses the telephone any more, and people only watch TV if they have Sky, which is Australian, so let's forget the whole thing. um... internet connection... telephone lines, no? and mobile phones are based on telephones..? and without a TV... well... perish the thought! >.<

EDIT: Also, this is no time for a civil war, we're fighting the Americans! i don't want to fight anyone, except the demons in London  who want to eape my country and oppress my people.

You bring the shortbread, I'll bring the Bread and Butter Pudding. yuck.
