Does England have the fourth of July or did they remove that date from their calendar?
-
We celebrate your independence just as much as you do. Firmly with a 'thank fuck they left already' party.
-

-
Of course we have the date. It's my niece's birthday, and you can't get more important than that if you've just turned four.
-
My son's birthday is the 3rd so we have all the party then. Besides, it's not that meaningful in Australia...
-
- Only reason I know it exists is a Will Smith movie where he punches an alien.

You guys and your subtle globally nuanced ways. It's a good thing I am here to remind you of 'American chinese pyrotechnic consumption day' for 'freedoms' and 'liberties'. My box of explosives was massive.
Like my dong.

Pfft....that is implied. ;)

As I said to my friends on Facebook...
I'm feeling the need firstly to indulge in Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum saving the world from aliens with an Apple Powerbook, followed by the anti-terrorist force that valmorphanises its vehicles and launches out of Mount Rushmore as if it were Tracy Island.
Now stop worrying about Facebook and celebrate one nation throwing off its imperial masters of old!

In the UK we had our own pyrotechnic consumption day on November the 5th. It's the celebration of the life and works of the last man to enter parliament with honourable intentions, Guy Fawkes. When I was a kid this meant a box of craptacular fireworks you let off in the back garden but by the time I left the UK in the mid-2000s you could buy display quality ones from fly-by-night shops that appeared in late October and disappeared a month later.
You can't buy fireworks in Queensland. Or own a rabbit.

The fireworks sellers stay around a bit longer now; a lot of people seem to like to set some off at New Year. Those displays tend to be intense, and short; a small box of showy stuff to set off at midnight, then in for a quick nightcap. And much much shorter if it is raining or snowing…Filed under: I should migrate south for the winter

You need a history update, friend.

I can't tell if 3.99 July is the last few minutes before the 4th, or the last few minutes before the 5th.

I prefer 3.99

Remember, remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I know of no reason why the gunpower treason
Should ever be forgot.Cue: people without guns meeting people with guns...

The British do love their failures.

I like Alan Moore stuff.
I like Grant Morrison stuff better. Doom patrol 1989 and the Filth (one of my favorites)...(classic Grant Morrison).

Now we're just waiting for Scotland to follow suit...
-
I'd rather they didn't fight for independence (which I'm convinced is going to backfire spectacularly) and instead concentrated the resources on fixing the issues in Westminster, like most of Westminster.
-

I'm quite happy for them to simply vote.
... I'd prefer the English (and Welsh and Irish) also had a say in the matter since they're also going to be affected no matter which way it goes (see: West Lothian question*, and the Barnett formula**,) but hey-ho.
and instead concentrated the resources on fixing the issues in Westminster, like most of Westminster.
Nothing 650 lampposts and a reel of piano wire wouldn't solve in an afternoon...
* English ministers cannot vote on issues only affecting Scotland or Wales. Scottish and Welsh ministers can vote on issues only affecting England.
** The formula that results in Scotland getting massively more per-capita subsidies from the UK as a whole.
-
And if you tell the Scottish people that are pro-Yes that, they will tell you that you're talking bollocks and cite something from the Yes campaign to support their position.
And yes, I've raised the issue of rUK having a voice about it.

You'd need a bit more; there's Another Place as well.

Turn off the heating, give it 7 months and natural wastage would probably take care of 90% of them..

I fixed the title for tomorrow.

And so it starts....

You saw what I was doing there...I couldn't continue because my edit abilities vanished.

I wonder if I can edit my own titles after the time limit now...
-
I fail to see why you couldn't.

Not so much that they cannot as that they would not, since a moderator could simply act directly on any post that he/she might otherwise flag.

Depends - I've flagged quite a few posts on here, rather than acting directly, because I wanted consensus on my opinion rather than inflicting it immediately.
On some of those occasions, no action was deemed necessary.
-
I wanted consensus
Fair enough, and a commendable attitude.

Can't think who you mean...
Anyway - it appears to be not our problem any more - I managed the term without leaving (though it was close at times) like some people...
-
I think it was a problem on mobile..Or I could be crazy. I can see the edit button. Wow...must have been a head fake.

I, for one, am glad you did. You were actively involved in making Discurse a little less sucky, for which we all owe you a hearty "thank you."

I admit to not being all up on the inner workings of your countries, but their fiscal dependence on the rest of the UK should make this independence stuff a non-starter. Of course, electorates are mostly made up of low information voters, so lots of non-starters get the nod.

I'm looking forward to them admitting they done fucked up.

It's the 11th of July, asshole!
