Now about those sheep and locals. Help me understand, are they inbreeding together or separately?

This is not "the Island of Doctor of whats his fuck"...

Miggy, I love the soddish, lot of you English folk. I would sit on the colletive cock, that is Britian, but I fear my cunt's too tight!

thought as much...
...even with the 200+ people who looked at this thread there's not a decent, funny, anti-english joke to be seen anywhere. Ah well, we'll try to become more popular this century.
Hold on I've got one - at least I think an englishman is the lead character...
What do they call an englishman in a suit?
The accused!
Come to think of it, it could be an Irish joke...

G.R.--Thanks(I think).I remember a conversion with an army friend(my old CO)Which took place after we had left the army we were in at the time.He was firmly convinced that the world still consisted of Britain and the Colonies.Odd really,but a good bloke though.

I do have a joke,it may be an English joke or perhaps a farmer joke.A group of farmers were herding their sheep when one escaped and ran off.Two farmers gave chase.After a very long,hard chase they trapped the sheep in the corner of a field.The beast tried to dive through the fence but became wedged.One of the men promptly dropped his pants and gave the sheep a very stiff talking to.After finishing he said to his mate,"Wanna try it?"His mate dropped to his knees and stuck his own head through the fence.
Hey, I am part Welsh and I don't fancy sheep!
I thought that was a Scottish thing...You know, all alone up in the highlands, for days on end with no women in sight....sheep everywhere, spotting the hillside???? At least that is how I pictured it!

I thought a scouser in a suite was the accused. Well I suppose he is English.
Perhaps there are no really good anti-English jokes because the English are the best at making that sort of joke up.
And I've heard some Australians say that it's the New Zealanders that prefer it woolly. So I reckon that basically its some other group of people with sheep. I know that Lancastrians call Yorkshiremen sheep-shaggers.

But "I want to know what love is", though not a really bad song, does get a bit boring after a while.

Jokes about 'other nations' tend to rely on 'them' being stereotyped as dumb, prone to wierd practices (often of a sexual nature), and chauvinist for example. To be English is to be the ultimate stereotype in the international public imagination. Any joke told in English is in essence a joke about the English themselves. Perhaps that's why so few jokes about the 'English' seem to exist: we've exported them all elsewhere, and are left with little more than a large caricature of Englishness (made up of smaller regional stereotypes) which are usually lost on an international audience. The larger than life stereotype which remains is so all-pervasive that few jokes can do it justice. Indeed, it's probably the best joke of all.

Good morning, Ally...
Bloody hell, are you always this alert at this hour?
Waiter? Waiter! I'll have what she's having!
I'm just slogging about the boards in the hopes that someone will make me a coffee.

This is an extremely timid suggestion....
Aside from Ally's insightful comments, do we suppose that it's also possible that there are few jokes about the English because there is, in fact, increasingly nothing really "English?"
Rule Britannia. Long reign the Euro. But where is the English identity these days?
There's actually very little left to make fun of. And jokes that start out "An Italian, a Pole and a British Subject walk into a bar..." just aren't funny.
