I've always considered myself British, probably because I associate "ENGERLAND" with yobs. 'S'not like England's even a country anyway.

That is like saying you are not European because you don't have Italians, French, Germans and everyone else in your family.

Alternatively it makes me Japanglish as I have Japanese people in my family.

I'm mostly irish. Does that make me Iringlish?

I am American, and I drink tea.
Thank you, have a nice day.

On-Topic: If the British won, then why do they still have beer?

Beer is a quintessential British drink, I think you'll find. Why, who doesn't enjoy a pint of stout?

Stout? Nah I'm more of a Lager fan my self, I've been gaining an apreciation for Hefes to recently (That's Hefeweizen for the rest of you). But I don't want to count out the American High Gravity beers (211 anyone?).

To be honest, I'm not that fussy with beers. I do, of course, have a few favourites, such as Newcastle Brown Ale or (from the Lager front) Leffe Blond, but otherwise as long as it isn't Stella Artois or something like it I'll enjoy it.

It makes you Great British! You come from the archipelago of Great Britain which includes Britain, Ireland and a number of smaller islands such as Man and Wight.

No in 40k UK don't win CREEEEEEEEDDD does .

Apparently, one of their recruitment planets was modeled after the Great Plains.

That's Death Wing isn't it?

Leffe is what God would sweat <3

I don't think the Deathwing recruits are enough to make them modeled after NA's. The naming conventions are very much pulled from middle eastern angelic names (Azrael, Sammael, Belial, Ezekial, and Asmodai are all angel names) and Naaman was one of the generals in the middle east back before Israel was destroyed and rebuilt.

Also the lore of the chapter is very reformation-era. After all it was Luther who split the chapter in two (referencing the split in the Catholic Church by Martin Luther) and maintains the DW and RW which were segments of the knightly order. Let's not forget about the monk's robes that every veteran wears.

In the Death Wing expansion of Space Hulk (first edition) the Death Wingers' planet is completely North American Plains Indian.

That means that they recruited from the planet and that generation was not that the chapter is native american. One of the things I believe that was mentioned was that the members of the squad that returned returned to using their original names, indicating that they had been given judeo-islamic-christian names as is held by the rest of the chapter.

Keep in mind that the Deathwing doesn't have a planet and neither do the Dark Angels, they recruit in whatever system The Rock is in for a generation then head to the next system.

Caliban resembled, according to Descent of Angels and the 4th ed codex, more of a feudal european state than a native american ones as there were no tribes but rather castles and defenses commanded by knightly orders.

My God man!? get your stereotypes in order! The real question is does England have tap-water or is it just a pipe hooked into the pub's beer tap that every home in the country has 10 feet away?

Or is it that You all are afraid to call your sister country successful, for the most part. You all are still fuming, I bet, over the fact that he did best you and gained our independence.

Not really, as we ended up with Australia. That's a continent, y'know. Also, the aussies are pretty damn friendly and make good wine.
So, in a way, everything balanced out

Oh, and most of us were born a hundred years or so after American Independance was declared, so most of us don't care so long as you yanks keep producing cool technological stuff.

Yeah, your right, it does even out, doesn't it? You all have Forge World, which sells cool things at ridiculous prices. And we have Bungie, which makes cool video games at normal video game prices.

GRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW NOTICE ME!!!!!!

Ehem.

May I say to him that dared to say "Spess marienz are american lulz" :O

No, GW is ENGLISH therefore everybody is ENGLISH in it..

You can have that planet called I think.. Birmingham; the black planet?

Fix'd.

America is not Britian's sister. More like its rebelious son. Canada is his brother, but the "good son". The obediant one that always does what its told.

This thread is full of stupidity. Highlights include:

- A GERMAN making disparaging remarks about British music.

- If you're English you aren't British. Or some bollocks. As long as you were born in one of the constituent countries of The United Kingdom you are British, whether you like it or not. Check your passport for further details. That reminds me:

- England isn't a country. Yes it is. Stop being silly.

- 13 year old Americans saying things like 'WE KICKED YOUR ASSES IN THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE!!!1!!one!!' 'You' didn't kick anyone's ass. You COULDN'T kick anyone's ass. You probably get YOUR ass kicked on a regular basis by more popular children.

Damn, this thread makes me feel like ShumaGorath.

ON-TOPIC: Yes, in the 41st millenium the British won. You can tell because there's an empire. Americans love Freedom (c) too much to have an empire.

So they teach you that you won the revolutionary war? Obviously we did something right as we split from you and became our own nation.

Nope, Brits win for sure, they thought up the game. But I'd like to see a Leman Russ make it around a traffic circle (or roundabout if preferred) .
