So now we know who Drown is.

Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned

From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

Dunno about unsung, I remember at least one song about me at a football match a few years ago.
 
Sigh, culturally the US and UK are worlds apart.

Wrong thread - this belongs in the UK/USA/Germany is the greatest Nation thread, where I happen to think everyone who has posted so far is wrong, having completely ignored the great nation of Costa Rica.

Oh, I gave that up once it became obvious that, apart from me and Ogg, everyone posting in it was an idiot.
 
Why are there no pics in this thread?

I was thinking the same exact thing.
