The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives, and minds, than all the doctors in the Empire.

- Winston S. Churchill

British empire builders took quinine to protect themselves against malaria, but it tasted too bitter. The British Army officers in India mixed quinine with sugar and sparkling water (& gin) to make it more palatable – the iconic Gin & Tonic was born.

Every copper wanted to bust us by any means available, to get promoted and patriotically rid America of these little fairy Englishmen.

It was 1975, a time of brutality and confrontation.

In 1742 she sat for her portrait by Hogarth, draped in jewels, surrounded by symbols of independence – and resistance to tyranny: a bust of Alfred the Great who resisted the Vikings, and Elizabeth I who resisted the Spanish. A globe indicates her freedom in the world and a scroll reads:

Remember Englishmen the Laws the Rights . . .

So dearly bought

the Price of so much Contest

Transmit it careful to Posterity . . .

To me, the way I see it, it looks as though certain things were decreed to happen and that, therefore, they did happen: they had it in their blood, these people, that certain things should happen to them, and I could no more contrive these things than they could evade them. But Hilary and Guy, murmuring together in that astonishing unison which can only be found in two Englishmen who disagree upon everything in the world but on the fact that conduct is three parts of life, are of the opinion that my substitution of the word "ptomaine" for "septic" really affected the course of events.

London logic

I found out today that London is talking about words, just like New York is thinking about what to say. These are enormous facts that matter a lot to everyone, but no cares. I wrote this song about it, but it's still in a primitive state:

This is what I've been saying in London: onward. Sure, I am an Englishman, but in my love for my country - and my humility - I have found it necessary to state things in certain ways, in ways that point to an imminent future where we must somehow manage something akin to logic. I don´t care either way, I love English.

In this sense all I am talking about is reflection and actually speaking. Speaking can keep you going - that's the greatness and weight of being an Englishman - but itś not what English people do, what they are: you can reflect, you can behave. English manners are, therefore, set in stone and yet entire liberal. Nothing is fixed and yet it will never leave you. If you loosen your hold on it, it will grow more abrasive; if you seek to control it more, in the end, that's the whole point, that's Cambridge, that's bloody Oxford man.

A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Englishmen are waiting.

"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he says. The two Englishmen just stare at him. "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" The two continue to stare. "Parlare Italiano?" No response. "Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing.

The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first Englishman says, "Maybe we should learn a foreign language." "Why?" says the other, "That bloke knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."

oh so when commander fitzjames lies about his identity it's ok, but when i, "cornelius hickey",

look man do you want a narrative foil or not

#honestly though this is one of my favorite parallels in the show because theyre actually so similar #even when you factor in their class difference and the subsequent opportunities theyve had #because jfj has killed people to get to where he is too. he just hasnt killed ENGLISHMEN. #i say this as a jfj lover and credit where its due he is a genuinely nicer person than hickey #but he is also a cog in the colonial machine </3 #the terror

And Englishmen like posing as gods.

- E.M. Forster

The bowler has travelled widely since its beginnings in London in 1849. Appropriated by everyone from cowboys in the American West to Quechua women in Bolivia, who were introduced to the hat by British railway workers in the 1920s, the iconic piece of headwear began with two men called - perhaps unsurprisingly - Edward Coke and Thomas Bowler.

Coke, the younger brother of the 2nd Earl of Leicester, walked into the famous London hat-makers Lock & Co with a problem. The top hats worn by his gamekeepers on the Holkham Hall estate in Norfolk kept falling off but they needed to wear something to protect their heads from low-hanging branches and poacher attacks.

Bowler, Lock’s chief hat-maker, rose to the challenge and put together a prototype. To test the hat’s strength, the story goes that Coke threw it on the floor and jumped up and down on it. The resilient bowler passed with flying colours and Coke paid 12 shillings for it.

The bowler’s combination of practicality and style has made it appeal to a wide range of people throughout its history. Railway workers and American cowboys - think Butch Cassidy or Billy the Kid - adopted it as their own because it would not blow off easily when they were on horseback or hanging their heads from the windows of speeding trains.

In Britain, the bowler was first worn by the Victorian working classes but by the 1950s and 1960s it came to epitomise the “City gent” - along with a pinstripe suit and a black umbrella.

Today, cavalry officers still wear bowler hats and suits for their annual parade in Hyde Park on what is known as Cavalry Sunday in May. The tradition stems from the fact the outfit was considered correct dress just before the First World War and officers are still expected to wear their City gent attire whenever they are in London on duty.

One of Britain’s most famous hat devotees, Winston Churchill is known to have favoured the Homburg, but he pulled off a bowler with aplomb. To this day, Lock & Co still sell thousands of Cokes each year to City workers and ex-military customers, while the Earl of Leicester continues to buy the hat to which his ancestor gave his name for his gamekeepers on the completion of one year’s service.

che todo bien con Tolkien y Lewis but Tolkien did very much intend his writing to be a "mythology for England" and CS Lewis intented Narnia pretty much as a Christian fable so MAYBE you should think a little bit more about what their narrative decisions meant (and how they are still replicated in modern fantasy)

#cosas mias #fantasy #worldbuilding #like SORRY because I know I'm already the Potato Guy but #maybe think about why the Englishman puts potatoes on his Mythical England of the far past #in the hands of the Virtuous Small Village Englishmen People #think about it a little perhaps

An idea that has the potential to be very culturally insensitive if handled wrong but possibly quite fun if done right is a Bionicle Human AU where everyone's ethnicity/cultural background is determined by the origin of their names. Naturally this would make most of the early characters Maori or Rotuman, but from there it would branch out into gems such as Welsh Ehrye, German Orkahm, either British or French Dume, and my personal favourite, all of the Glatorian and Agori being time-displaced Romans, with the exception of Kiina, who is a Celt who got dragged along for the ride and is deeply unhappy about it.
