Lord British is a pseudonym Richard Garriott has used since his early years of playing dungeons & dragons. British is the character known as the king of Britannia in the Ultima series of RPG games he created in the early 80's.
Richard Garriott along with his father and a friend founded ORIGIN Systems Inc. in 1983. ORIGIN grew into the most successful independent computer game company in the United States. The Garriotts sold ORIGIN to Electronic Arts in 1992. It was a logical move at the time, but little did they know the biggest source of success would begin in 1997 with Ultima Online. Garriott continued to work for ORIGIN, he was the creative director over the games he produced. As the success grew, the insidious EA collective of corporate directors increased their control over the direction of ORIGIN's games. Garriott's great experience was ignored and he left OSI-EA in 1999.
In April of 2000 Garriott founded Destination Games which was soon partnered with NCsoft. Destination Games has recently worked on the Lineage series, and Tabula Rasa.
Richard Garriott was featured on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. He has been known to travel to exotic places such as the North Pole and under the ocean to see the Titanic. His house was built like his video games, with hidden passage ways, and a dungeon in the basement. Garriott is an avid Halloween go-er and has been known to host a semi-annual haunted house in his home which is called Britannia Manor.
Lord British (aka Richard Garriott) is the king of Britannia.

A brutal game played by British school kids. Usually played on a football pitch by anywhere between 10 and 100 players.
All but one of the players would start at one end of the pitch, the lone "bulldog" would stand in the middle of the pitch (the bulldog either volunteered because he was a nutter or was forced to do it by the rest of the players).
The people at the end of the pitch would then attempt to reach the other end of the pitch. The job of the bulldog was to take as many people down as possible. Unlike other violent games such as rugby there are no rules as to how you can take someone down, tripping people up and flying kicks are both perfectly acceptable.
Anyone the bulldog manages to take down are now bulldogs and stand in the middle for the next round. The game continues in the same fashion until some unfortunate mug is the only one standing at the end of the pitch and has to attempt to run past 100 kids who want to take him down by any means necessary.
The game ends when someone is seriously injured, a fight breaks out or the teachers come out and remind you that this game has been banned for a very long time
some_kid: Lets play British Bulldog
99_other_kids: Yeah!!

To eat sushi off the naked body of your partner.
Hey do you want to grab dinner tonight? Sorry I can't. I'm going to a British buffet.
When the overall country (Britain) is used to spread the dissapointment or a failure of an individual region (Scotland/Ireland/Wales/but normally England). When regions pick and choose their Britishness to suit them.
When Henman loses a tennis match, it's a sad day for "Britain", not "England", and when Murray wins a match, it's a good day for "Britain" not "Scotland". Perhaps I'm biased (being a scot) but it always seems that way. Selective Britishness! Hah!

Only province in Canada that Americans find worthwhile to visit. Only province in Canada where it takes 30 minutes to get from the beaches to the snow capped mountains. Makes Americans wonder what the other Canadians are doing out in Alberta and Ontario. Locals like to show off by windsurfing and snowboarding in the same day, just because they can.

The greatest music in the world, the Brits do it better than anyone else.
See Sex Pistols, the Clash, the Beatles, Oasis, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Muse, Radiohead, Blur, Stone Roses, Queen, the Jam, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, the Who, Pulp. Face it, we make music better than all of you.
