If we hear the words The United Kingdom, Britain or simply the UK, we most definitely think about a lot of things. The Queen, Their Accent, Cups of Tea, Old chaps, Pubs, Fish&chips, The Beatles, Soccer, 007, Cor Blimey, Pip Pip Tally Ho and what not. We will probably not immediately think about their generosity and awesomeness. Well, maybe if you're actually from the UK but usually we non-Brits think about the first things I mentioned. That is until today.
There is one of the Brits that decided to create an account on Dtoid not too long ago.
I'm talking about dear old
Clance.
Not only does he write some entertaining stuff here on Dtoid, he also send packages over to Amsterdam. It might take some time until it gets there but he keeps his word:
Damn country and his pubs.
Indeed, Clance was in a generous Christmas mood and willing to part with something awesome and send it across the pond directly to me. That little something I'm talking about here means a lot to me. Hell, it almost even tops my most priced possession which is a signed copy of Metal Gear Solid 1. Hold your horses, I said
almost.
YES SIR! I GOT ME A KILLZONE 2 T-SHIRT! Sorry for yelling but who doesn't like Game related T-shirts? I've been looking for a Killzone 1 T-shirt for ages but can't find it. I would sell my kidney in order to get one. Actually, I'd
have to sell my kidney in order to get one because I'm having a bit of a recession right now.
I don't know what so say Clance, thank you very very fucking much!
You're one bad-ass Brit.
(p.s. Clance, you don't know how much I wanted to post that Sgt. Peppers pic I found of you. If you were a bastard I'd done it!)
(p.p.s. I'll gladly repay you in pints at the UK-NARP and yes I'll take you to a football match if you ever come to Amsterdam)
There! I did it anyway! You might not be a bastard but I am! That pic is too rad to go unnoticed.
That Sgt. Pepper's pic is from a themed wedding I went to about 4 years back. Nobody else bothered with the 60s theme so we were the main attraction. No, I don't have that awful haircut anymore (it was windy too) and, yes, I was incredibly stoned... Ah, those heady days.
Thanks so much Takeshi, that tube map photoshop job is genius!!!
So happy you are pleased with the tee, it is all kinds of awesome. I hope you sweat in it while I blast you away on Killzone 2 ;op NOT! I hope to be on your team, I know what a hot shot you are.
Much love
That is also a really cool t-shirt
For some balance, you should probably mention hooliganism, knives, heart attacks, teenage pregnancy, political correctness and a political leader that looks like a scrotum.
Or, ideally, John Smeaton. Which is more Scotland than Britain, but whatever, fuck it.
Badass t-shirt!
I know it's Football. But the yanks don't.
Eagle eyed amongst you may notice the Arsenal cannon badge on my jacket pocket in the London Underground pic. Gotta loves them Gooners. That is Highbury & Islington, afterall.
This blog makes me so proud to be a part of Dtoid.
I know you know! But I'm still going to mention it every time. Football!
Maybe one day they'll get it.
Especially the T-shirts!
btw, will you be joining the euronarps this year? ( since you live pretty close compared to some of the others :-) )
check my blog for the dates :-)
