Ye were also speaking in terms of military.

Ahh, that is true. Forgive me. Anyway "we" could quite easily have meant all of Great Britain.
I refuse to call it the UK, it is Britain, and it is Great, hence Great Britain.

Also, all music in America was written by Sousa, whereas in Britain we have Elgar, and others who I can't remember.

Somebody want to change the music to the Dambusters' theme?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I would, but I have deleted all my MIDIs.
How about the RAF Marchpast?

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Hehe.

[diamondgeezer]

Now you really are just spamming, aren't you?

Not at all....

I am waiting for an American response, like some sort of Sousa song.

 Oh god... I can't breathe...

*wipes tears.*

Whatever is playing, what a great mix... Oh god, I can't stop laughing....

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Actually, it's just the one MIDI file, but you're right, it is a bit cacophonous.

To the bouncing bomb!

Id like to point out that as NI Wales and Scotland are net losses to the economy everything in Britain is paid for by English taxes, so stfu scottish peeps!

I'd like to point out you are talking ****e.

The Scottish economy gives more to the overall British economy than it takes. All but one of the taxes that are levvied on scottish tax payers are sent to Westminster.

Now, let me also remind you that we won a war against you so it would be Britain, and not England. (*points to Robert Bruce*). I like English folk, in fact one of my best mates is English. However, don't push yer luck.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

What the hell is the music now?

Also, perhaps England and Scotland should go to war again, just for old time's sake.

EDIT: I see that it is FlowerScot.mid. Well, we might just have to have a Yorkshire Ballad!:D

Hehe, there are now 3 midi files competing for space!

[Mr Carrot]

You won a war and gained independence for 300 years until Cromwell conquered you with the New Model Army in 1650. Before being bought into a permenant union in 1701 in the Act of Union.

The Scottish are a net loss of £7 billion if you discount North Sea Oil which is a British strategic asset as such it doesnt count in any of the individual areas economies.

Its quite hard to find statistics on this after the Labour Government shut down the individual region tax output and government spending surveys in 2001

"On 10 December ONS has withdrawn this publication and cancelled the publication of provisional 2000-2001 GVA estimates scheduled for release on 17 December 2002. "

The EU Council of The Regions is meant to calculate this now but thanks to the inefficient beuarocratic EU juggernaught fresh statistics havnt been released for about 3 years.

*whistles innocently*

[vyper]

**** it, this ignorant barsteward isn't worth the effort.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Vyper, we can't hear that for all the other wavs and midis.

[Mr Carrot]

Eh, i do beleive the oil is closer to scotland than it is to england.  A lot closer.  Your just bitter cause your muddy little bit of glorified saltwater puddle is full of spaniards stealing your fish.



Ugh.  I'm off to get another beer and play soldat.

[Mr Carrot]

Its closer but if Scottish independence ever came the treaty would include the maintaining of British control of the North Sea oil fields.
