A proud brit right now :D

Being a brit, we do moan and complain about everything. We moaned about the bad weather. We moaned about the hot summery weather, then moaned about the weather turning fair again. We moan about the state of society, we moan about the government, and life in Britain.

Showing a bit of support :D

The olympics have really made me realise how proud I am to live in Britain. The opening ceremony was such a celebration of british life, our history, our sense of humour, and our creativity. Yes, we do have problems, but so does every country in the world. It was when we hosted the Olympics that there is a women's boxing event, and a woman in every competing team. For me, that is such an achievement in itself without the ceremony.
I am also so proud of the GB team in women's football. I have never watched a female football match before, but went up to Cardiff to go watch them play. The guts, skill, determination, and team work they showed in their match was amazing. I now have a new sport that I want to watch, with such great role models for it.
Considering the men's performance at the euro's this year, it's nice to have a home team we can really get behind. After their amazing performance against Brazil, I hope they get more media coverage after the Olympics. I certainly intend to watch games and get more into the sport after the Olympics personally. To me, they deserve the coverage over the men.
For the first time in a while, I am a proud brit. Here come the girls, and here's hoping that their good example continues and spreads over Great Britain.
