I think the logical way out of that situation is to go ahead and kill yourself.



Actually, I don't know the answer, since the quiz is more of a pastime for the bored than a thorough exploration of character. I suppose I'd advise said person to take it in stride and be proud?

Nurumaiel, the funniest defence of the word 'Scotch' I ever heard was something along these lines;

"Scotch must be a proper description because Queen Victoria used it."

Very funny stuff! Alright then, I'll concede. The traits of Britishness are always identical with the traits of Englishness. But I suppose that I'm alright with that. I do drink an extraordinary amount of tea.

LOL, yes, I suppose one can! The weird combination was the 'cheeky' vs 'good'; not British vs Christian!
But some of these categories rule each other out: I mean, you cannot get both Teeny bopper and King, without cheating...or can you?

I suppose it depends on the mood you are in when taking the quizz?

I stand corrected. Still, that would imply pretty extreme mood swings...

I believe you've found the correct answer. I'll take the quiz again on a day when I'm undeniably gloomy and couldn't hate pubs more... and then I wonder what I'll come up with?

It seems to me there is no other escape... you're obviously insane acting like that... at your age, too!

That is entirely grand and funny! But I'm afraid Queen Victoria can't change my view on the word. Never ask why I dislike being referred to as Scotch. I didn't used to mind but one gloomy day when the world was full of 'Scotch's' I couldn't take it anymore.

Ah, tea.... well, I'm not fond of tea in itself unless I'm in the correct mood but nothing can take away from the event of tea. It's extraordinary fun to be different people having tea. Generally I will be merely myself and sit by the fire, drinking tea with a few friends and talking about anything we fancy, or maybe telling a little story or two, but it's also enjoyable to pretend we're of the higher class and to take little sips and speak only of the weather and everyone's health. We mock the higher class most terribly and I only ever mock something when I'm quite fond of something... that's how I know I love LotR and that's why I suspect I'm really quite fond of the British.
