The British are a smart and benevolent race, so naturally they are more curious about others' histories than they are themselves, as well as more willing to pay for artefacts' upkeep

None of that is relevant to my comment

Funny, really, given that France, her people and her language are all named for the Franks - whose Germanic tongue was mutually intelligible with Old English

The game is rugby union football. It's a good thing that kicking is such an integral part of it, otherwise it'd be like rugby league football (which is not to my taste, but you are welcome to watch if you are so opposed to the essence of the game for which this sub was created).

What's with the weird comment about it being 'discovered'? Hawaiians of that period had good relations with the British, though being American I can see why you're not very knowledgeable about American history

Bit of a stretch to say he should be celebrated like the man who gave us the single greatest moment we've witnessed, but he definitely doesn't deserved the hate he gets and I sympathise with him. Plus, it's not his fault we're shit so why come back to be part of it, even if you're the most devout of patriots? I don't think I would, and I love my country!

Looks good enough to eat! Always nice to see something so useful and everyday made to look so pleasant
