The y in ye didn't exist in 1066. It was a 'thorn.' You can still find 'em in Iceland, the land of footballing super heroes, unlike the upstart nation to the left and down a bit.

Þere went þe neighborhood.

Some one asked Harold if he wanted to watch the swan races on the Thames, and he responded that he would rather have a sharp stick in the eye.

Canada?

So, there's a tale of a big-ass berserker who stood on Stamford Bridge and held up Harold Godwinson and the boys for nigh on to an hour.


Some buttmunch floated under the bridge with a spear and shoved it up through the planks and up the poor Vike's arse.


Nigh on to a thousand years later, that's still gotta hurt.

Canada?

Can? Na, Da?

Canada spelt backwards is Adanac. ADD-a-Nack.

Amerikkka reversed id Akkkirema. AK-kir-EE-ma.

Mexico spelt backwards is Ocixem. Oh-SIX-em.

Quebec spelt backwards is Cebeuq. See-BEWK.

NAFTA spelt backwards is Atfan. AT-fan.

That's all you need to know.

Possibly the reason England was successfully invaded?

The logic is inescapable.

And they didn't even face de Gaulle, sacre bleu!

That's all you need to know.

Apart from the World Cup results - Massive Super Sports Power 1, Trinidad and Tobago 2.

Jeez, when wasn't England successfully invaded? Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Romans, Normans (notice how the Brits don't want to admit they were conquered by a bunch of Frenchmen?)
But all that much pretty much stops after 1776.

1588, Spanish invasion defeated.

But by whom? Bad weather and the Roanoke colony...

 

[ryan8558]

Drake, fire ships and bad weather I believe

 

[DrDelirium]

Drake, fire ships and bad weather I believe

Drake and the fires hips are given altogether too much credit. I'm going with bad weather, engineered by the residents of Roanoke, who, having just discovered an Alien Artifact of tremendous power, arranged the salvation of their mother country before haring off across time and space in search of adventure.

Drake and the Fire Ships, btw, is the name of my new band.

unlike the land of the 'runaway people'

1588, Spanish invasion defeated.

you also could've just pointed out the 700 year gap between the norman invasion and the declaration of independence.

 

[pointless]

or the nearly 900 year one between the norman invasion and us actually helping do anything. unless you count picking up the scraps in asia trying to score some sweet, sweet unfair treaties.

 

[Hypoxia]

I thought the Crab Nebula supernova was to blame? Dis-aster means "bad stars" and that blowup sure qualifies.

Deus-pitar aka Jupitar aka {JHWH}, the Lord of the Heavens and Master of Disguises, played a little flash-bang joke on Europe. FLASH goes the star and BANG go the war drums. Okay England, you're unified now. Have fun.
