Region: England
Your English is good! England's still stubbornly trudging on as is our way. Northfleet is near-ish London. How's life in the Netherlands?

I see no reason why we should put so much stock in somebody that has no tangible history. Granted he may have existed but all real knowledge about him has been destroyed, only a cult following seems to have carried his name bearing fruit to some fanciful paintings and folklore tales.
I therefore propose the true patron saint of the English should be Robin Hood!
Better than the saint of pandemics :\
Life in the Netherlands is getting kinda hard, we have a coalition between a conservative Tory party and a socialist Labour party. Result is that the people here will get an enourmes amount of payment on their social security, sometimes even 1000 pounds pro month.
So yeah, besides politics, life is going great. And I actually have one more question about Northfleet; is it a nice place or more a little bit, well, poor?
"We are steadfast in our opinion that Edmund is our true patron St. Please don't be stubborn."
Steadfast is just another word for stubborn.
Ooh, I've just passed 19 billion in my population. 8 and a half years of NS.
Congratulations Hirota! That is an almighty achievement
Yeah, it does mean stubborn. Oh well, you know what I mean. I ask South Oxfordshire to at least recognise Edmund and represent him on our flag. Stubborness is an English thing so I understand how it is.
British music is nice. Talk Talk - Such a Shame is a wonderfull song for example. That song and then thinking of the small English roads with those typical English houses. *Sigh* I should go to England once
Good to see that the message board is back to it's best. Just to jump into the St. George/Edmund (and Robin Hood) debate we at WR would agree with SO and that we should stick with flag traditionally symbolic of England, that being St Georges', rather than confuse any potential visitors with something different.
Congratulations to you, SO, for reaching 19 billion, you should probably throw a party for when you hit 20!
What are our opinions on the recent rugby autumn internationals? I'm looking forward with great anticipation for December 1st when we play the all blacks.
Congratulations Hirota. 8 and a half years, bloody hell!
*Congratulations to Hirota, not to SO
Serves me right for skim reading
Also can we please read all of my posts. I did not suggest removing the cross of St George in any way, I would not dream of removing our flag.
@Hirota Congratulations and hello!
@All, so, you all live in England?
Yes, I do. You may be the only non-Englishman here............ But that's cool because I like Dutch people! If your country floods badly, you are always welcome in England.
We've had a few non-Anglo Saxons here over time. Think they've all moved on.
Mighty Tim is approaching the big 20...
Well, I love England, teh bulldog, the houses builded thight togheter, the pubs, and my girlfriend. Though she is Persian.
Are there alot of foreigners in England? And Dutchmen?
There are foreigners here, unfortunately a lot of them are assholes who wreak benefits and steal. Can't say I have met many Dutchmen but the ones I have met have been really nice, genuine and kind. I have noticed we have a lot in common with the Dutch through personal experience.
*That is not all foreigners are assholes.
I see, are the Dutchmen living in the UK or?
Also, what are those personal experiences, and why do we have so much in common then? :)
Just interested, if you have any questions about the netherlands then tell :D
One I met through work, he moved here with his family, the others I met in pubs, through friends and on holiday.
Personal experience, uh just speaking to them about various things, our sense of humour, opinions and such.
Is there a real fear of flooding in the Netherlands? Also, are you from Holland?
Nope, we all trust our dikes and we have excellent anti-flood mechanics. In theory, London has a higher chance to be flooded than Amsterdam.
And no, I live in Utrecht, a city 20 km south east of Amsterdam
Do many Englishmen still have a bulldog in their home? Always wondering, wonderfull dogs.
Yes, my uncle has a Bulldog, it's so powerfull! I agree, lovely dogs.
It's a shame though that the real British image, like bulldogs, pubs, great soccer matches are now more and more being seen as asocial in some countries, and perhaps also in the UK, if I am correct, if not, then sorry. It's a shame that more and more asocial behaviour is showing in and around Europe, that having bulldogs is seen as asocial, going to a soccer match too, and pubs.
It's a shame, really.
And suddenly my GF breaks up with me 0_o

Oh dear! Sorry to hear that bud. Still, there's plently more fish in the sea, right?
Dovershire here, the Dutch guy, yeah, that's true. It was such an internetrelationship you know, I already have doubts with such things :/
Yeah, I can see that. What's wrong with Dutch girls anyway? I met two stunning Dutch girls on holiday when I was a kid, still they were very nice!
I've worked in the Netherlands multiple times, and I personally think Dutch ladies are attractive.
Nothing wrong with Dutch ladies, though that English/Persian girl was really nice, oh well.

We here in Morekai would like to pose you all a question.
Do you believe in ghosts?
No, I don't beleive in ghosts, however I do beleive in the false missenterpretations of various emotions.
Nope! But then I'm a rational person who doesn't believe in anything imaginary...
We at Morekai firmly beleive that if you choose not to honour the big man in the red hat, then you shouldn't be looking in your cupboards for ghosts.
Kudos to you both.
I am moving to Organization Islamic Nations Region.
Good Luck
Do you believe in ghosts?
I do actually,
1980's London seems so nice :3
Hello fellow patriots.
Hello there!
So, how is everyone?
Bored and feeling very hard done by, but thanks for asking.
England vs New Zealand Rugby Union tomorrow....any thoughts? Potential Scoreline?
@The Anglecynn Kingdom - Indeed. I can relate.
@Wilkosaurous rex - No comment. Not really a sports fan myself.
@Everyone - I notice our regional forums are quite dead. Does anyone use it anymore or is it now defunct?
Hope England put up a fight, but failure to beat RSA doesn't bode well. I'd settle for damage limitation
The forums are pretty much dead. Do pop on from time too time but very little of interest!
Did think a couple of months ago we should think about revamping, but not sure if any of the admins are still active.
Hello there fellow Englishmen!
Even delegates are wrong occasionally. Come on England!!
Hello Heavenly Peace! And GET IN THERE ENGLAND!!!!
Just a quick update to say hello.
I'd like to reiterate that if anyone has any views either on regions we should be initiating diplomatic relations with, ones we shouldn't or WA proposals that we should support or boycott, please let me know.
God save the Queen
We should have had a true socialist revolution in 1980s England, but now it's too late and England is finished.
The Soviets would have been the best guide to teach us how it should be done. Shame they're not around any more - one of the great tragedies of world history.
Tony Benn would have made a wonderful state president, and I guarantee you England would still be England and not a third world hellhole...Not a country overrun by immigrants, with its culture trashed by Americanism and commercialism. One day Englishmen will wake up to the error of their ways.
Controversial ^^
Loony-bin insane more like it.
Uh huh.............. God save the Queen. Long live the Union. Anglecynn Ealle.
While I agree with you that English culture has been somewhat spoilt by commercialism and is in danger of being assimilated into the American Empire; the traditions and values it was based on had absolutely nothing to do with socialism. English culture, rightly or wrongly, grew under a stable monarchy, with an entrenched, all-pervasive class system, and a deep-rooted adherence to Christian values. Almost the antithesis of the Soviet Union.
Oh and, by the way, my grand-father once saved Tony Benn's life. Attempting a night landing during the war, Benn was about to land in a river he had mistaken for the runway, before my grandpa intervened. He said they actually got on very well after that, despite their opposing political views.
Oh Hello... is anyone still here?
Hello again! How are you old chap?
South Oxfordshire? You not WA dude?
There appears to have been a clerical error. I'll get back to you on that in 18 hours!
That's better
Merry Christmas everyone!
I would wish you all a merry Christmas, but such a flagrant public display of religion is illegal here in Rhanukhan so enjoy your Tuesday, just so long as it doesn't interfere with your productivity! ;)
Very merry Christmas! Eat lots, drink lots and have fun!
Happy Christmas England!

Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system..
Pardon me? What do you mean by that?
Just a quick one to wish all member states a happy new year, and congratulate Sir Bradley Wiggins on his achievement.
Hello, I have arrived. I trust someone has the kettle on.
We here in Morekai always have a kettle prepared, but never on. We feel this is a serious waste of energy! Also, we always have just the right amount of water for whatever occasion in our range of prepared kettles, from party of two all the way through to fourty-two!
Any number after that, quite frankly, is just silly.
Come and see the violence inherent in the system!!

Happy 121st birthday J. R. R. Tolkien
A truly joyous occasion!
***WA UPDATE***
Not had one of these in a while. SO is refusing to approve the bill for the commendation of Rejected Realms, on the basis that we find the proposition to be very poorly written, and largely unfounded in any event. If anyone feels strongly against this, please voice one's opinion.
***Regional Update***
Wow, its quiet around here.
Yes it is.
The resemblance between Theoden King from LOTR and Anglo-Saxon king Harold Godwinson. O . o

And I'm back from Lazarus!
If anyone recognises me anyway, RMB seems less active then 100 days ago or so.
Obama here visiting our allies from across the pond!
Welcome one, welcome all :)
thanks :)
Rugby Grand Slam here we come.....
Hopefully!
"Hello, everybody."
"Broad-bosomed, bold, becalmed, benign,
Lies Bal-ham, four-square on the Northern Line.
Matched by no marvel, save in eastern scene,
A rose-red city, half as Gold as Green.
By country churchyard, ferny fen and mere,
What Quills mute, inglorious, lie buried here?
Oh, stands the church clock at ten to three?
And is there honey still for tea?"
Grand slam still on!
In York fighting the Vikings.
I met Gunnar Olafsson, King Haraldr Sigurðarson's (Harald Hardrada), descendant. He's 6' 4" and a Viking if I ever saw one!
Shocking result in the rugby today chaps and chapettes. A day of upsets
It was a massacre I hear!
Unfortunately so. What could go wrong did go wrong. Luckily the Scotch messed up too
And France just scraped by so as not to get the wooden spoon O.o
I can't wait to see what the 1st will bring this year!
I am sad to announce that our alliance with the Islamic Republic of Iran appears to have ended. I've not got any more information on it. As far as I'm concerned its something going on on their end.
Further to this, I'll be laying low until next Friday as next week is the week of my Bar exams, so apologies if I'm not contactable via telegram.
So apparently a quarter of a billion people in SO are zombies... Fab
