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

      Nick Griffin (or his paternal line ancestor) is not English - he is of immigrant stock from Co Kerry, Ireland.

        Then why hasn't he tried to deport himself back? I'd happily chip in for a one-way ticket...

            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.

                    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.

                          Yeah? Oddly it is fairly missing in Devon, this kind of behaviour. I always thought it was a north south thing. Perhaps not.

                            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.

                                No - my teachers drove them ;-) The thing is that back in the 70s/early 80s all cars were pretty bad. By the time the Rover 75 came along the rest of the world had moved out of that phase.

                                    Shirley most of our ancestors aren't English? They'll be a mixture of Romans, Vikings, Normans, etc. Where's my "Romani Ite Domum" banner? :rolleyes:

                                        Shirley most of our ancestors aren't English? They'll be a mixture of Romans, Vikings, Normans, etc. Where's my "Romani Ite Domum" banner? :rolleyes:

                                        Totally agree - even the documented couplings in any given person's family tree cover a wealth of nations. The "off the record" stuff is even more varied.

Unfortunately, the Germans are right, that's exactly what the British are like on holiday. I saw three British girls, skirts up, knickers down, bent over with their butts pressed up against the inside of a huge bar window facing right onto the street, at 3 in the afternoon, in Turkey. It wasn't a pretty sight, particularly as they were all a god 20 kilos overweight. :omg: (Well, I say British, lets narrow that down to Northern British.)

                                          It is illegal to have humor in Germany. :doh:
