    British are the hillbillies of Europe though.
    That's not technically correct, the Germans are worse. They are are really annoying booking sunbeds at 2:30am with their towels. And their general dissrespect to others.

    Well the first computer was made in the 19th centry by charles babbage(english) he designed another but died before it could be made. In 1992 they made it to his specs and it was able to keep up with the complex ballistic tradgectory calculations that were the first things that the americans calculated when they got round to making one in the 50's/60's.

    The first electronic computer was made by Alan turning in world war two. It was called the colossus and it was used to crack the german code.

    Laugh-worthy humour.

    I will do this. Nothing in my life matters except this. No moment in my life exists except this moment. I am born in this moment, and if I fail, I will die in this moment.

    Good Music. But football hooliganism cancels it out.

    Well theres Me for one thing, (I'm ordered to have a positive outlook on life and to be a narcissitic *insert appropriaqte swear words*) Also there is the fact that it was brittish scientists who developed the first Nuke for america in WW2 but then that isnt such a great thing. Also theres tons of things we invented in war times but mostly I cant think of them right now
