The ten worst things the British have done
Created | Updated Dec 21, 2003
Ah... Today we shall delve into the mysterious depths of what the most stupid things the British have done are. I will of course explain myself, so as not to leave you in the dark due to a personal grudge.
Number 10: Shakespeare
William Shakespeare, where shall I start, his plays are rubbish. That would be ok, if everyone would realise this. But they haven't and therefore Shakespeare remains the best British playwrite in history. This is a sad fact, but the worst is that every British student has to study at least two of his plays through out their-life, elevating Shakespeare to the epitome of evil, since they were written in the 16th century, it is also the epitome of the illedgible. Yet the British still put themselves through this torture year after year. Acclaiming William Shakespeare's plays becomes the tenth most stupid thing the British have done.
Number 9: The Greenhouse gas Emission Tax
Right. Greenhouse Gas Emissions are causing the hole in the O-Zone (O3) Layer to widen like a glutten in an All-you-can-eat bar. So therefore charging your vehicle, based on how much greenhouse gases it emits in a year, would be a sensible idea right? WRONG! The amount of greenhouse gases emitted by cars are tiny compared to the amount released int the atmosphere by our good friend, the cow. Therefore vehicle owners are taxed needlessly, and the O-Zone whole is now starting it's 9th course. As of yet there is no solution to the cow emission problem, because it is inhumane to fit a cow with a catalytic converter.
Number 8: MI6
MI6, for those who don't know (as you shouldn't) stands for Military Intelligence 6. This is where James Bond works, and the organisation actually exists. This is all fine but, everybody knows where they are based! This seems a bit stupid, especially after the building was assaulted by the rIRA three years ago with a rocket launcher. The rIRA stands for the Real Irish Republican Army and is a terrorist organisation funded by the Irish and a lot of Americans (who all seem to think they're Irish?), well despite George Bush's assault on terror, he hasn't yet touched Ireland, well as they say "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Anyway, back to the subject, most people know where the MI6 building is, and therefore will be able to spot a spy a mile off, yet no-one seems to do anything about it. This seems to me to be a bit stupid. As a side note, the ranking system for the various MIs is the higher the number, the more secret, there is likely to be an MI7, but the British got this one right and have kept it a secret. A further note is that MI1 is doing far better than MI6 because no-one even believes they exist at all.
Number 10: Shakespeare
