Big difference is the EU has Treasure Trove laws that basically says find it, the government gets to decide if you can keep it, or they pay you a % of the value determined by the government and it's there's, violate this and go to jail...

Harharhar, and there would NO government interference if you found a shipwreck or other treasure in the USA ?

Haahahhahahah

...a pub in Norwich called the Lord Roseberry... I am descended from a beer joint! That explains a lot. I could hear my late Grandpa, 'Doc' Roseberry laughing at that when I read it. He would be tickled.

Re: Why Yanks hate Brit's!

I was told that the piece the the bottom half of a clamp that holds the brake lever assembly to the handlebar of an English bike......made sense to me. And yes, I'm sure it is quality, however, they must have used Chinese bolts to hold it on or I would not have found this without the rest of the bike, :icon_thumleft:

Here you can say all right? :laughing7:

The best country in the world is Spain and we gave up the ass with the Navy to both countries for years. The U.S. only took away the island of Cuba (by which California was sold by Spain) and the British a small southern town called Gibraltar .... also the worst smell us, we smell a male. :laughing9:

Heh, yeah, as I recall your Navy rather botched the job with the Armada and Trafalgar and such? But you sure did come through in this World Cup! Bien Ano Nuevez y Feliz Navidad mi amigo!

Speaking of British detritus found on clean American soil, I found this British penny detecting. The reverse was in good condition but naturally the American soil destroyed the obverse, including the Queen Mum's face. Sorry Brits! :P

Probably dropped by a kindly Brit tourist giving you the opportunity of actually digging something good over there! :tongue3:

(BTW..the queen mum is dead.It'd be the queen herself on the other side. Didn't we have this problem once before? lol)

Hispan mi amigo! I can understand you losing Cuba,it's a hell of a swim away to be able to defend, but Gibraltar? it's just a short stroll away from Spain...and we STILL own it!! :laughing9:

Hello my friend !! :laughing9:

The " Spanish Armada "King Philip II of Spain against the troops of Sir Francis Drake Privateer in the English Channel (one of the most dangerous thieves that existed in the history of mankind and that trigger the bankruptcy of Spain during the 17th century) was not defeated by the enemy troops, it was because of a major storm and I quote the words of King Philip II of Spain ..... "I send my troops to combat human beings and not against a storm. " :read2:

of course we took the island of Cuba and then lose it under attack by a handful of students and mestizo peasants!! ..... This island was our best place to do business across America continent , and U.S.A you gave it the Communists? .... thankfully we help my country in the WW2 and are subsequently forgiven.
and if you are right we seem to be playing the best football .... a game invented by the British . :laughing7:

Greetings !

Well the funny thing is that in my country many people are convinced that the North Americans and the British are very good friends ..... almost family. :tongue3:

Lmao,you just beat me to the punch mate! Yup, the difference Tinpan is that Cooks ship actually made it to shore to plant a flag! That counts for a lot in the "discovery" books i believe? It's like America claiming an American body from 1950 has been found halfway up Everest, which proves America conquered the mountain before the Brit's! "Close..but no cigar!" As they say.

The rest of your reply is,in truth,a ramble..nothing to do with how the Brit's are untruthful about the Boer and world wars.
I was expecting the old chestnut of "It was your fault we Anzacs got butchered at Gallipoli !!" etc,not some rant about William of Orange,and our Empire being a "timeshare" business! (and the Empire at it's height was ruled over by a Queen not a King.)

As for "sports"? They're pretty insignificant on the whole. I can mention us crushing you in "the ashes", Crushing you in the Rugby world cup Final in Melbourne, etc etc..and then you just come back with your victories and i go look up some more of ours...pointless exercise mate!

Right on Mate...Tinpans living in the past what matters is what's current, we hold the Ashes, we are 20/20 Champions and we have loads of History beneathe our feet

SS

Say What "position by birth right" Just how backwards is that. So it seems your living in the past Fact
So if your not part of the 1% that owns the 70% of the land in the UK , you don,t own any of that history beneath your feet.What matters is whats current " so true " Your economy seems to be going down a big black hole called the E>U.Farming makes up 3 % of your economy so you cannot even feed yourselves. Need resources to run an empire and uk has just about no natural resources run that little island.It took you 75 years to beat the australia at Lords once and 25 years to beat Australia at the M>CG. :laughing7:

Crushing is 5 games to nothing and the score sheet is nothing like that is now.Seems big brother is watching you every minute with all those cameras.With all that history which wars in the past 200 years have you won on your own One :laughing9:

A king or queen who has to ask parliament before they do anything really has how much power. At the hight of power in the Victoria Era you got rich dealing opium with a cannon in the other hand. Hardly Grand.

Australians are not subjects of the British Empire and we chose to help you in 2 great wars .you came so close to being totally destroyed in the 1850,s gold rush rebellion . Colonials build colonies into countries not british in the UK. As some else said the smart and those who could think for themselves either left on their own or were deported as Crims. Got gold in uk rivers and streams Now that is funny

happy new year you need it "Pomes"
