Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that, when it comes to Britain, the majority of Fanpoppers know very little. As a result, I have decided to write a guide. anda can thank me later.
1. Money
We use pounds (£). Pounds are basically dollars, but are coins instead of notes. Our coins are 1p,2p,5p,10p,20p and 50p. The ‘p’ stands for pence. There are 100 pennies to a pound. After the coins, we then have the £5,£10,£20 and £50 notes, although £50 notes are very rare.
2. Schools
The first real stage of school in Britain is Primary school for ages 4-11. However, before that parents can send children to play groups atau nurseries. I imagine it’s like this in America too, though I haven’t visited in years.
After Primary School, children then attend Secondary School up to the age of 16 (or 15, in some cases). Students, if they wish, can go to College (16-18, I think) and then to universitas (19- whenever, as time spent here usually varies).
But what do anda achieve in school? Primary School students complete SATs, Secondary School students get GCSEs, College students A and AS levels and finally universitas students will be awarded a degree. universitas students can also get things like Masters degrees, Doctorates etc. Again, I’m fairly sure our universitas is similar to American College.
British schools have years, not grades. Primary schools are years 1-6, High Schools are years 7-11. After that, College students say detik year, atau first year, student.
3. Culture
We have a large culture, so I’ll cover the main parts.
A lot of people who cinta the British Isles do so because of it’s awesome culture. Whatever anda have heard about fantastic theatres is NOT TRUE. To most Britons, the idea of sitting in the dark and thinking is unacceptable. Most people spend their nights at the local chippy atau pub.
But what are chippys? Chippys are what is great about Britain. They sell our signature dish, ikan and Chips, ands are especially populer in the North. Most of the business these guys get is from our good old British chavs, who can often be spotted brawling outside. However, they are freakin’ awesome, so we tend to visit a lot.
At the moment, a Royal Wedding has been announced with one of our Princes and his girlfriend. Most of anda Britain fan will have gambar of us dancing and bernyanyi cockney rhymes in the streets. That is not happening. No one cares. Most of us are already sick of it.
I’m probably being a bit hard on Britain now, so I’ll mention some god things that are actually good.
There’s lots of castles here. That’s interesting. Britain is very historical, and very pretty. That’s good. And there are some theatres that are alright. British singers are awesome, like Oasis and The Saturdays.
Cheryl Cole is the Nations Sweetheart, apparently. I like Cheryl. Cheryl, along with Simon, Louis and Dannii, judges on the X Factor. X Factor used to be good, but, in my opinion, it’s not anymore. However, it is still a large part of British culture. Large swathes of Brits are probably watching it as I type this right now.
Manchester, where I live, is pretty awesome. I might be biased, though. The Arndale shopping centre is great. london and Liverpool are alright too. I cinta the renaissance architecture in Britain- some of our cathedrals are breathtaking.
4. Politics
This is a complicated one. But never fear- I kind of understand it!
The first ‘house’ in the British Houses of Parliament is the House of Commons. This is full of MPs, people elected from each constituency. The detik house is the House of Lords. The people here have seats that they inherited. I’m not too sure what these guys do. I think they approve the laws passed in the House of Commons.
We have a Prime Minister, too. At the time of writing, he is called David Cameron. The Prime Minister attempts to get his policies through. He is basically the head of Parliament.
This brings me nicely to the Political parties. The first one is Labour. These are Socialist (or meant to be). They are left wing, and their leader is Ed Miliband.
The detik party is the Liberal Democrats. Before the General Election in May, they were Liberal/centre. However, at the first sniff of power from the Tories, they abandoned their beliefs. Maybe I’m a bit biased about these guys, too. I feel like they betrayed me. I will be giving link to the parties websites at the end, so don’t worry if anda need a balanced opinion. The leader is Nick Clegg.
The third party is the Conservatives, atau the Tories. They are right wing Capitalist. At the moment, their leader David Cameron is the Prime minister.
This year, in the General Election, no one party got a majority of votes. This meant that the Liberals and the Tories went into a coalition. Cameron is Prime minister, and Clegg is his errand boy Deputy.
5. The Royal Family
Most people know who they are, so I’ll just explain what they do:
Nothing.
And so ends this Guide to Britain. Any questions? ^^

The European Union recently expanded to include a total of 25 member states. Some people are concerned,however,that problems will arise with anemployment,and that high influx of immigrants from the former Eastern block countries will cause difficulties for the the other member states. What are the positive and negative consequences of including former Eastern block countries in the EU? Which do anda think are greater,the advantages atau disadvantages,for the newly expanded,25-member EU?

So, it's been five years since anda passed. I wanted to take a few menit to remind people of how wonderful anda were and how much anda impacted my life. Honestly, even now, I miss talking to you. I miss your cinta pujian on my dinding and I miss just being able to talk to someone and being to say the things that I can't to anyone else.
Do anda remember when anda told me I was ten feet tall and bulletproof? It was almost amusing, but I remember just being pissed off at pumpkinqueen and wanting to throttle her. I also remember that anda calmed me down and I took a step back and decided not to say anything too stupid.
I wish we'd had lebih time to be friends and hang out together. I really do. anda were a wonderful and kind person, with plenty of smarts. And I appreciated every moment of being able to talk to anda and have someone I could rely on when I needed it.
Thank anda so much.
R.I.P BLW.

I noticed some very sad things if anda replay the first Red Dead after the prequel..
1: Jack's pahit line "teach me and your just run away again atau something" is now sadder when the prequel reveals John ran off for a whole tahun when Jack was really little. Jack's clearly still angry.
2: Dutch.. He's some kinda Empty Shell of the man we once knew. The man he and Hosea raised from childhood is now out to kill atau capture him. And he clearly hasn't gotten better, mentally. He is now just another crazed enemy.
3: Uncle's death.. Despite having taken a level in jerkass, we feel like we know the man oleh this point. It's like meeting up with an friend... And than watching them get murdered.
4: If anda have Jack kill Ross, bascally Arthur and John died in vein.. But sadly this is probably the true ending..
5: Seeing Bill and Javier can be rough now..
