I'm going to stand up for a mammoth and historic institution which is the one and only pillar of the United KINGDOM.
Without them, our country would be nothing but a pathetic and drone-like Republic like most of the rest of the worlds frankly boring and lacklustre nations.
Britian has something fantasticly different to be celebrated and yet again we have numbskulls kicking them down with cliche sentences about incest which quite honestly and brutally was not uncommon in the UK before the 19th century.
They are not perfect and neither would a "President" of Britain's family be if they were instated, and they're a damn sight cheaper than most would ever conceive them to be.
We like to think we want a republic because the grass is always greener on the other side, but as a nation we are still obsessed with the royals; they sell papers like nothing else, we watch their funerals and weddings in unprecedented numbers and they give us something to moan about when life is too cosy to be content with ourselves.

1. Became known by its current style in 1993, when Maastricht was signed and the keys to the UK and frankly everywhere else in Europe were handed over to new management in Brussels.
What started out as an innocent economic adventure, through the 1980s, slowly turned into a nightmare political descent as it became apparent that - lets be crude and frank - France and Germany did want a union in which they couldn't and didn't have DIRECT control over.
2. More recently things have become more serious and sinister with firstly the Treaty of Nice and now the blueprint for a country called Europe with its own constitution.
Frankly the United Kingdom, should go a step further and vote on membership not a pathetic federalist vision of a constitution for a whole continent of countless races, languages and cultures that simply don't and won't ever fully integrate.
Home rule for Britain - God Save our Head of State, the Queen!

Falls into the same category as arsewipe to be honest. Mild term of abuse for a sibling. See arsewipe.

Known as a country which is part of the UK, but called "The Province" (also called a few other things!).
Thatcher fought desperately to fend off the prospect of joint-sovreignty in the 80s over it with the Republic in the south.
Just an annoying space of place which if put up to referendum, Britain would probably give over to the Republic! Nothing to offer by way of wealth or culture - it just exists.
Plus I'm just rambling to vent out frustations over nothing in particular and taking it out on N Ireland (!)

A school which completely and utterly saved me from the horrors of South East London's education system.
The community feeling is like nothing I've ever known; sometimes I feel that the pupils there don't appreciate it as much as they could do - they should try my old school, then they'd realise how bloody lucky they are!
Place where I reached the limits of my academic potential, which is more than I can say for my past experiences.

Comparisons to my old school :
St Joseph's - acres of space to play competitive sports. Old school - a small park to run around the outside of (which was across a busy road).
St Joseph's - teachers who can speak English to a high standard. Old school - Among others, a black Nigerian teacher who's own name could'nt be disyphered by her class let alone the Science lesson!
St.Joseph's - pupils who hold doors open for each other and had have good general discipline in comparison to other places. Old school - ok...I saw a black year 10 kid get arrested in the school canteen for whacking a boy from another school over the head with a hammer at a bus stop; need I say more?

1. Boy who picks nose, views bogie obtained and promptly consumes it.
2. Comes to school with everything but the kitchen sink in his gimp-bag
3. Is twinned with John Mc Cririck (of BB fame) in both action and appearance.
4. Secret lover of Grissom from CSI.
