"Good old Canada"

Rich Hall interviewed some Canadians about the US Election;

RH - "Don't you have Neo-Cons in Canada?"

C - "Well yeah. But we punch ours out in bars. We don't elect them."


A reassuring piece of sanity in an insane world.

ROJ? Yeah?! BC's kinda like the Canada's version of britian,Even have the red phone boxes.. which is something i am surprised no where has them..

Alberta's great. Its the next province east from BC. Not much there however Edmonton has great shops.

I would definately reccommend visiting if you havent already!

LJ - I have cousins in BC. I think it may be Victoria, too. Most of my relations are in Alberta though.

I may have copied those, but this is my own writing.

君が代は

OK WK. You just so copied that as no one you age knows the national anthem. But then again.. no one my age i work with knows it..

It should be a lot more lively..What on earth have you to thank the queen for? :S

English, thanks.

And I'm still trying to figure out the relevance of posting der deutsche nationalhymne.

*places hand on heart*

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen.
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.

O lord God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their knavish tricks,
Confuse their politics,
On you our hopes we fix,
God save the Queen!

Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world ov'er.

From every latent foe,
From the assasins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign!
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

Yarr. Im from Victoria BC in Canada. So i know the national anthem. Your taught it at school.. Used to have to sing the anthem as they raised the flag every morning during junior high.

Question is how many people know the british National anthem? I think its quite funny that the British footballers. half of them dont know the words.

But then again the british national anthem is boring :|

You're all so clever!
