Today I was reading about the Falkland Islands War on Wikipedia and I learned a nice little tibit that I found pretty funny and very British. When some of the Royal Navy ships where sunk in the sea fights during, the sailors would sing as the ships went down and they abandoned ship. The song? "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" from the end of the Monty Python's "The Life of Brian."

When your ship is going down and you want to sing to Monty Python you are most definitely British.
