Proud To Be British

[James Hubbard]

Pasyal?Suroy suroy?Anywhere nice?

just to get some tempura and some iced tea and associated beverages to watch the fight tonight

suroy-suroy - impressed at your knowledge of bisaya!

[walesrob]

Hmm, this is going to be like talking to blessbooks

If you are English (or Scottish, or Welsh, or Northern Irish) you are also British and live in Britain!

You haven't told us though, why you are proud to be English, what is there to be proud of - for you - in being English?

Lets face it, who wants to admit being Welsh?

Theres a song by Catatonia called International Velvet, and the lyrics go "Everyday when I wake up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh" ....hmm not sure about that

You welshies are great

Another thing I am proud of in Britain - Wales

Nothing wrong with being Welsh lets be honest, the Site has to wannabes on here Mr Admin and Mod Dom

I have heard whispers that Joe wishes he was really Welsh rather than a Manc

I'm a proud Stokie, Staffordian, Midlander, English, British, European, Earthling

Not proud of your glaxy or universe

Just thing up with we join up in the Universe community we can travel and work to all parts of the Universe with no Visas etc. But means loads of Aliens turning up

Yeah with their powerful thighs, strong arms-the rugby wives are mingin

Hmmmm...must be interesting to get to know a handful of aliens and discover what their lives' about in the other planet

Its handy in case Murray wins at Tennis then we can claim him as our own

The one thing that really gets up the nose of the Scot

I'm a Scot and proud of it in the same slightly insane chip on shoulder way that most of us Scots are.

But I am also British and I always will be, stronger together and all that

Anyway the Scots and the Irish always had the great minds

The likes of

James Clark Maxwell
and
Wullie Thomson (Lord Kelvin )

[jimeve]

I have no problems with the Scots,Welsh and Ulster. that's Great Britain BTW.
My opinion only, no one else, not even thee James homer sick boy.

whats the point if someone takes the out of your post. enough said.

Yeah Newton,Faraday and Darwin were scotish or Irish I belive

Yeah but if they invite you to their homeland imagine the journey 15 hours is enough for me, three years to the planet zarg maybe a little tiring

LOL, true

I think the aliens don't land here. They just part of some tour passing by with their craft.

Conversation on the craft like this: "That's the bad planet down there, we don't stop there, keep going"

Little kid alien ask "Why?" Hey, they are white, black, yellow and they always fighting each other. We are purple. What do you think they would say to us?"

Hahahaha, nice one gary

I am proud because there are no big beastie that can bite you or eat you, sting you, drag you down and bite you, or swallow you whole.

[JimOttley]

Yeah Newton,Faraday and Darwin were scotish or Irish I belive

Yeah you lot had a few good ones too

I bet they had some Scottish blood though

Jim

It got lonely on those boats..

[JimOttley]

I like the general lack of deadly creatures, earthquakes, volcano's i.e. our relative immunity from major natural disasters.

I said much the same but your post was much more eloquent Gary

So these Aliens absolutley definitley have faster than light

e = mc ^ 2 / Sqrt(1-(v ^2 / c ^ 2))

v > c => m > infinity

Sorry couldn't resist, for a proud to be British thread that is rapidly going off topic and demonstrating that property I mentioned earlier which is that I am proud of our eccentrics Even our pedantic eccentrics (like me)

Yep 3 years is a bit of a long flight.

How is the mass > infinity traveling at the c speed of light?
and by > you mean greater than?

Crap maths on my part mate, I don't need it for computing , I'm in the pub on my fourth beer

The Lorentz Fitzgerald equations provide the limits as I know you know.

As v/c approaches 1 and the Sqrt of 1 - almost 1 approaches 0 then as c is a constant m will increase as long as energy e is being put into the system.

I should have put a ? after the v > c => m > infinty

In english for everyone else if the current velocity is greater than the speed of light then it is implied that m would be greater than infinity or more accuratly indeterminate.

The joke was about the 3 years, as the closest place is 4 years away at instantaneous acceleration to lightspeed.

EE Doc Smith Lensman series, the intertialess drive, but he still thought he could get round the c limit

Just the scotish midgies which lets hope never mutate

oops yer right I forgot aboot them wee

It is actually impossible to exceed the speed of light, but you can get around it by bending (warping) space or using a type of stable wormhole - this overcomes the mass > infinity problem. Or maybe all that beer has just made my mind warped. :-)

heheheheh

Maybe, however the energy density required to open a stable wormhole may well be so high that the result would be a black hole

It's all wonderful hypotheses just now and even more wonderful that we are alive at a time when we can speculate on stuff like this.

Another great Irish British lady Jocelyn Bell! who discovered Pulsars! (to stay on topic )

Jim

[somebody]

With all this speak of Speed of Light it doesn't matter how fast and if can go faster than speed of light and e=mc squared and what not. PLant Zarg and all its neigbours have the great british most hated device yes the speed camera..

[bless.books]

Never found a library Gary but I've been in lots of Museums in Manila. Also Corregidor the whole island is a museum
The Pacific War Memorial, I found this place very moving.

I agree though National Bookstore is a bit expensive Jim

Hello JimOttley! I am deeply moved by these attachments of yours. There are small bookshops around Malate, Timog - I've forgotten the names. I can only remember Boundbooks around Timog (but went online). The are big ones Powerbooks and one in Trinoma ( I forgot the name).

[bless.books]

have we met

Hello bornabirth!

[bless.books]

Don't think that because the British people are "not arrogant" that you can treat us in a derogatory and disparaging way . . . but just remember this . . . the more you antagonise anyone in here, the less credibility your book receives . . [/QUOTE]

Credibility? Reputation? I am not under any alias/pseudonym. I am the one at risk here, bec what's displayed is my name, and can be proved. And what are you doing to my little work. Whilst, you mentioned you will be using alias, how does one know, you are really James Hubbard? I am not antagonising anyone here, neither you. You felt I antagonise you because I questions some of your points. And you became personal.
