Actually, Norwegians. And if you seriously want to assign blame to the "gene pool", then I suppose we have to blame the africans. Going back far enough. After all, I am not as convinced as you that going back a thousand years is enough. As for the southern Britain remark - I have not found any significant difference between the two. //L
No it wasnt, it was settled by Vikings, AKA Norsemen, or Danes.

Have you lived there or spent sufficient time there to see? There is a big difference. To generalise, a Northerners idea of a good night out is to get legless, then either have sex, or get into a fight. The Scots arent much better either. Southerners are not like this. And while you will see this behaviour in places in the south like Torquay, this is due to the vast influx of unemployed northerners who would rather claim benefit on the south coast of Britain rathern in some miserable red brick ex industrialised dump up north! :)

Having worked at the National Museum of Ireland, IN Dublin (Collins Barracks for the initiated), I beg to differ. Also, by claiming (paraphrased) "It wasn't Norwegians, it was Vikings" proves that you leave a little to be desired on the knowledge side of things in this discussion... ;) Further more, the original argument regarding norther Britain being the way you claim because of Norse settlements whereas the souther part was not is also invalid: Clickety[] //L

So you think the Vikings were all Norweigans? They werent, they were Danes for the most part. (Please note the 'moist part' and dont make this a simplistic argument) As for the history of Dublion, if you are so sure perhaps you shoul dedit wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin[^]

Right. History got it wrong. Thank goodness we got you to set it straight. Key tip: Research before you make further factual errors. //L
Do you really still believe the childish myth that Vikings only came from Fjords? Really, please re read you so called history and dont pay so much attention to films with Kirk Douglas in them. The Normans, however, were descended from Danish Vikings [^] for example. And you might ask why Danish? Because they were the most active. In fact this is easilly attested to by the names of towns and villages in the part of the UK settled by the 'Vikings'. You might ask yourself why so many end with the same word for a Danish village: 'by' (Grimsby, Mumby (where I partly originate from) etc etc etc). Once again, if you are so sure please edit wiki.

Firstly, quoting from the article YOU linked to,
Wikipedia wrote:
Generally speaking, the Norwegians expanded to the north and west to places such as Ireland, Scotland, Iceland and Greenland; the Danes to England and France, settling in the Danelaw (northern/eastern England) and Normandy; and the Swedes to the east.
Secondly, I never claimed all vikings came from Norway. YOU claimed "most Vikings were Danes". Thirdly, if you want to drive this into the realm of slander,

If Wiki is the definitive for history, what about this bit that says Dublin was founded by Norwegians who later repulsed the Danes? Facts, or are they[^]
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
OK so some Norweigans founded the place that would later be called Dublin which 10 years later was taken by the Danes and remained under their control for centuries. DOnt see that that changes things overly much as to why some people in Ireland drink like Scandanavians. Oh, and I am serious, there is a big difference between the north and east and the south and west of the UK in this respect.

It's supposed to be easy to make your own. The slow way involves (IIRC) 1 liter of vodka, 250g of bacon (cooked), a 2 liter jar with a lid and several weeks of waiting. The fast method is similar but includes 500g of bacon (cooked) and the grease from an additional kg of bacon. You combine the ingredients in the large jar and let it sit to absorb the flavor, and then put it in a freezer to force the grease to congeal for easy separation. FYI I've never done it, but did have a shot of express bacon vodka this spring. It was Baconriffic. :cool:

Damn, I thouhgt there was a risk of that seeing as how the languages are related! :) Anyway, I have it on good authority that it was principly Danish Vikings that setteled the UK. And I am sticking to that. (In fact my surname comes from old scandaniavian for stream aparently. Probably explains why I drink so much! ;))

You are correct in stating it was predominantly Danish Vikings (Dubh-Gael) that settled in she suthern regions of England. The Norwegian Vikings (Finn-Gael) settled in the northern regions, as well as other countries. It is often misconstrued that the Danish Vikings made settlements in Ireland, and particularily in Dublin due to the similarity of the names. Dubh-Gael means (roughly) "dark hair" and Finn-Gael means (equally roughly) "light hair", whereas Dubh-Linn means "Black Pool". //L

I wasn't that serious, couldn't help myself as I come from a "by" town. :) If I remember correctly there's also a difference in "by" between Sweden and Denmark. In Denmark it means town\city and in swedish it's smaller, like in village.
Oh, I always read it was Danish for village. Perhaps its any sized settlement. After all, it might start a villabe and become a town long after the meaning of the original language has gone. Such as Grimsby, which is a sizable place today. (But Mumby is alot smaller).
