The British and Proud thread!

Recommended Posts

we had to do Macbeth in year 10 and do an essay thing on it. We got given certain scenes/acts, quote a line and say that as a director, you would direct your actor/actress on how to say it and what to do. I remember I got a B on it and that it was 4 pages xD

 

Ohh! I remember doing something like that but with the Tempest. We all got in groups and had to act a scene.....

 

But i think i got like an E or something as we tried to turn it into an episode of Eastenders (the teacher did NOT like that....)

my Aunties live in Smithils and I have been known to get lost in this area near Rivington (as anyone at the post office near there and I am sure they can remember the story of the 17 year old Canadian lost and yelling:

"I AM LOST ! HELP! I AM AM FROM CANADA!" that seemed to have helped!

I'm going to the Tower next week.

 

I saw Antony and Cleopatra at the Globe Theatre. We paid £1 for cushions on the benches and the poor plebs had to stand in the pit while it rained through the open roof. :boxed:

 

I think that was when he got older, when young, he was quite hot, for the times. :naughty:

:roftl: :roftl: ah this is cracking me up, i feel like using some cockney rhyming slang now :naughty:

 

My family use it all the time! Its like the true english language to me:thumb_yello:

 

:roftl:

 

my hometown is filled to the brim with chavs and trouble makers. And wannabe hard-nuts and people who can't use standard english. And little girls who clearly haven't heard "Lollipop" if you get me. Everyone knows everyone where I live and it's not necessarily a good thing. News spreads round like wildfire. Even if you don't know someone, you're pretty much guarenteed you know someone who knows them.

 

I hate it. I really don't belong here. I'm much too sophisticated :mf_rosetinted:

 

(here's the beginning song from "Beauty and the Beast" by the locals outside...)

 

That just like my area; except minus the constant police visits and drug dealings:thumbdown:

Ahhhh I loved the later series they made =D i used to have tapes of Jimmy Nail when i was younger lol i remember sitting on the side in the kitchen when i was about 7 and singing crocodile shoooooooooes whilst my mum was cooking LMAO!!

 

I especially like the drama on BBC 2 - mind numbingly boring, but if Henry VIII was really as hot as Jonathan Rhys Meyers.... maaaaan.......

 

:wink2:

 

Nice to see my British thread coming along so nicely!

 

I would sooooo DO Henry VIII :naughty:

 

:roftl:

 

i understand Shakespeare. 12th night had its moments :lmao: but I get it. I just don't like it lol! I think the best one has to be Macbeth, if I had to choose.

 

Macbeth?? surely thats the worst one.....or maybe i hate it cos i had to endure a crappy play of it at school that seemed to last a lifetime :sneaky2:

Im really like 1/4 Irish, 1/4 South African, 1/4 Polish and then only 1/4 Englidh, but to be honest i wouldnt want to be anywhere else.... (except Ireland because of my Irish last name.....)

McCluskey...... :wink2:

 

I have some Irish traits - like being able to drink REALLY well and liking it, being able to sing (apparently, the Irish can sing well :blink: ) but that's basically it.

 

I think i inherited my dad's thin african blood because im always freezing cold, but thats it!

 

The rest of me is all English (and very proud).
