        In this case it is closer to duck-typing.

          As a Brit, the behaviour of some of my compatriots "out foreign" is the second most embarrassing thing I feel. The most embarrassing is the (thankfully now quite rare) Rover 75.

                        True, the northern border does actually go north west, south-eat. It follows the old Dane Geld line by the looks of it.

                                Well he is an arcane old relic. Presumably he still believes Ireland is part of Britain. ;P Also 'indigenous Britain' is a very fuzzy term. He can twist it to mean whatever is appropriate for the context.

                                      Odd, I don't know what makes you mention it then, since I posted about more Israelis dying of circumcision than Hamas rockets in there.

                                      Sign a petition calling for the boycott of Israel until it returns to its legal 1967 borders.

                                        Because it's on the Morris Dancer application form: "Are you circumcised?" Answering "Yes" is an automatic rejection, because you have to be a complete pr*ck to be a Morris Dancer.

                                          True, the northern border does actually go north west, south-eat. It follows the old Dane Geld line by the looks of it.
