                                He does not claim to be English, it just says his location is United Kingdom. I'm sure there are plenty of people here with locations that do not match their nationality.

                                I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

                                  Curiously, a lot of teh mistakes he makes in English are those of a Middle-Eastern Person, say from Lebanon for example.

                                  Indeed - but he DID know what a spotted dick was, so he MUST be English... :laugh:

                                    Better be careful. In my family it has become a tradition to go to Texas when we want to shoot something. The last thing my father shot flew all the way up north over Canada and landed in Alaska. And later I went there as well and shot with some things that went straight up into the stratosphere and pounced upon some unlucky target drone. You never know when you are out of range.

                                      Why would it not be true? 1. I am clearly a fan of an English born band 2. My previous post joke (which has apparently annoyed people) is based on a popular board game here in England 3. My location says "England"

                                      Total fail; your location says United Kingdom, so you obviously cannot be here if you think it is the same as England.

                                        No, it says United Kingdom, which is not the same thing.

                                        True, but I'd rather stay out of that discussion - If we get into it, then at least I need to bring my lunch... :)
