~*~ Absolutely Invincible British Gentleman ~*~

The United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland (Arthur Kirkland)

Age: 23, male
Birthday: April 23
Height: 5'9"

England has messy, short blond hair and green eyes. According to France, he's rather slender.

England is a fanciful, blunt, obstinate former pirate who used to torment Spain. In modern times he claims to be a gentleman, however he is cynical, sharp-tongued, prone to rough speech. England is also, apparently, the "king of losing things", and France has described him as "somehow extremely useless when it comes to matters not pertaining to himself or America".

England's interests include: embroidery, craftsmanship, literature, rock music, and giving scathing criticisms to America's movies.

He does not know how to express himself, leading to others often misunderstanding him. Despite his cynical, realistic view on the world, he is said to be a romanticist before going to sleep. When drunk, his personality will change from that of a gentleman to a bitter and violent delinquent. Also, every year when the Fourth of July comes around, his condition collapses.

It has been mentioned that England has brothers, one representing Scotland, another Sealand and the others presumably Wales and Northern Ireland, who hate him and used to drive him away with stones and arrows when he was a child, and even went as far as to mail him curses.

England and France have a deep-rooted historical rivalry. While they often have petty disagreements, they appear to respect each other and are quick to team up if a third party enters their argument.

It appears that whenever England tries summoning demons, he always ends up summoning Russia instead.

Despite being called "Jerk England" and being promised that he will one day bow to him, England, though annoyed, does look out for Sealand.

He's quite bad at expressing himself. He himself knows that people often misunderstand him, he uses this fact for self-depreciating jokes.

He hates France. Although their rivalry is a material for jokes, he quite admires France's culture.

The food he produces is quite terrible but he thinks he is quite good at it. He also knows that other people complain about it.

His temper was quite stormy during the decades after America's independence.

Black Tea

I thought I should make a post telling you all about Black teas. First off, it is made from the same plant as your generic green, oolong and white teas, the difference is how the plant is processed.

Black tea comes from the fermented leaf of the Camellia sinesis plant. Depending on the time of year the plant is harvested and the origin of the plant, its flavors will range from full, rich and robust, to light and delicate. The colors of brewed black tea run from ambers to gold.

Tea is also a source of potassium and when taken on its own, is fat and calorie free. It also contains fluoride, which helps to make your teeth stronger, the flavoniods in the tea will also help stop plaque, which in turn leads to prevent gum disease and reduce bad breath.

.:English Afternoon:.

A brisk and lively black tea with the flavor of smokiness and earthiness combined with elements of sweetness.

English Breakfast

So the month of April is pretty much over, and thank God for that. This was such a busy month, with my birthday, Elizabeths birthday, Alice's birthday, Easter and the wedding. *sighs* Let's just say I'm glad it's finally over and I can get back to some nice peace and quiet. I don't have to worry about any more celebrations until Jul- *stops* Bloody hell....

.:English Breakfast:.

A rich and satisfying robust black tea. The robust, malty character of this tea comes from pure Assam and Kenyan tea leaves grown in India.

The refreshing and invigorating flavor makes English Breakfast one of the most popular black teas to drink at any time or occasion - not just for breakfast. English Breakfast can be enjoyed with or without milk, sweetened or unsweetened - the choice is yours.

Lady Grey

I was out shopping earlier, looking for more...fashionable clothes. Those twats, America and France, calling me, The United Bloody Kingdom, an old man! *huffs* I know America is a good, 1500 or so years younger than I, but he's not exactly young himself, and France is an ancient bloody tosser. That aside, I came across a rather nice light jacket, a bit reminicient of the 1940's, it had a few patches mentioning the Air Force, but didn't specify which country. I suppose I can sew a Union Jack on it or something...and a plaid lining, perhaps. Dress it up a bit...*rambles*

.:Lady Grey:.

A refreshing, light black tea with the distinctive citrus flavor of bergamot to deliver an uplifting tea with vibrant aroma and zesty flavors of orange and lemon.

Lady Grey is perfect in the morning with breakfast or for afternoon tea. Enjoy it with a little milk, or with sweetener, or to your liking.

Earl Grey

That prat, America, has forced convinced me to join this social networking? anime fan site. So here I am. The git has been spending far too much time around Kiku if you ask me. Oh well, I suppose I should make the best of it.

This kind of reminds me of Gilbert's online blog, really. I'm still trying to figure out the point of it, why not just use a journal? *scoffs* Bloody Prussians...

Earl Grey is a blend of Indian and Ceylon teas. The tea gets its unusual flavor from oil of BERGAMOT. Bergamot is a small acidic orange. The latest research indicates that the Bergamot orange is a cross between the sweet or pear lemon (Citrus Limetta) and the Seville or sour orange (Citrus Aurantium). The sour orange is native to southern Vietnam, hence the Chinese connection.

This tea has a light refreshing taste, and can be served hot with or without milk or sugar.
