^^^^ oooh I say - It's BG to the rescue again !!

But seriously how is what you quoted insulting ?

Never british or Church of England, heaven forbid! I don't consider the mysoginist Henry 8th who founded the church of england to be a good religious role model. - I must be missing something in the translation

But with your well advertised relationship history how could you not admire Henry VIII ?

One good thing about not being English is that we don't have your dire national anthem. The one that used to be forced upon us as both the English national anthem AND the British one - but you now seem to be distancing yourselves from.

And who actually decided it was the British national anthem?
(A) It's such a dire dirge the Welsh would disown it for the tune alone - which incidentally wasn't original - it used to be 'The Kaiser hymn' in Germany.
(B) One of the verses is about Marshall Wade sorting out the Scots - so they'd hardly choose that would they?

Ladies ladies...some of these weeks it will be pistols at dawn for you two.

Anyhow back on topic; I suppose I'm very lucky cause if I'm in a foreign country which is hostile towards the British, I say I'm Irish...sometimes it's beneficial to claim Britishness. That's about the only advantage in living here; I can claim dual nationality.

EDITvvvvv Sweetie it states on my profile where I'm from! Maybe you've never heard of Northern Ireland before. :)

Which two? ;0) My aim is exellent by the way lol.

I love the national anthem A.Cornucopia it's really stirring and emotional I think. I love last night of the proms as well, very British? or should that be English?

Si-denada where are you in the world?

Is there a reason to protest about a person from a none British country to state that they are British when they are there own families first British generation born here?
It seems to me that everyone needs an identity and a place to hang there mast.
But we are all less than a dot on a dot on a dot.
Any other view is not really worth getting involved with for me!
As a side,ive just speed flipped though this thread back to page 6.
not one obviously ethnic looking person has posted.
Why is that?

a **** ? What's one of them then...can't you even hint by adding a letter or two - do the four stars stand for cvnt or tw@t ?

I'm afraid it is BG and you who are the type who like to follow other posters around passing assessment on their personalities instead of replying to their posts...it's a joke and it makes me laugh how you both rarely post unless it is to remonstrate someone or advertise your 'qualities' - a mate of mine calls your type the transient posters who are nothing but self-important dragons with little of interest to write except for their opinion of someone else and you are almost always off topic just like now.




i do agree with BG we should stick to the topic, not sure you can.

Hmmmmm....really ?

ON TOPIC : Spike Milligan was a great nationalist.

I think it would be nice for the Welsh, Scots and English to have their own seperate passports - the Scots one with a thistle hiding all it's money for it's emblem, the Welsh one with a Leek and a sheep eating it, the English one with a Bulldog wearing a crown.

You should be proud of your different national identities.

I remember my cousin who was born in Ireland applying for a British passport specifically so he could travel to the States and work there without needing to apply for a work visa- the reason (so he claimed) that he was entitled to a British passport is because his father was born when the English were still in power here which meant that he was the son of a British citizen - he so easily could have been spoofing me though.

<div class='quote'>Dont fret BG^^^^^ Miss G has to routinely change her name on here as I think she is often asked to leave maybe!!
Oh really ?

Hahaha


Ignore her and she will eventually ignore you, she is smallfry.

Don't worry ILOVEJELLY, if you write another incredibly outrageous post which I vehemently disagree with on a subject I care about, I shall respond to let you know what I think.

edit: Thank you Jelly x :) shes always following me to attack me.

Stop lying...for god sakes...anybody can study my posts and yours and see the truth quite easily.

and I did not attack you at all in my post when I wrote :

^^^^ oooh I say - It's BG to the rescue again !!

But seriously how is what you quoted insulting ?

How is that an attack ??????

I post roughly once a week in the forums on various matters. I didnt't realise I needed your approval to do so I can't speak for curvy as shes already told you she can do that for herself but i find it amusing you seek both of us out to do excately what you are accusing us both of doing.

edit: Thank you Jelly x :) shes always following me to attack me.

Wot is wrong wi you people?
msg325...
two things...

I'm sure I never said that was two females chatting there...

And also....

What part of that dialogue is insulting females...?

Now, ye see?...this is what is seems to be the problem....Falling into a steriotypical atrribute there....Wether English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish or British...

There's a lot of females who are continuousely insulting males in this forum, will you also be unbiased and champion their cause also?

"I'm afraid it is BG and you who are the type who like to follow other posters around passing assessment on their personalities instead of replying to their posts...it's a joke and it makes me laugh how you both rarely post unless it is to remonstrate someone or advertise your 'qualities' - a mate of mine calls your type the transient posters who are nothing but self-important dragons with little of interest to write except for their opinion of someone else and you are almost always off topic just like now."

Kin Brilliant, magic, took the words right out my gobby gob...Oh, it's only females who are allowed to be gobby...

Ye know....I find it interesting that it's a certain select few females who are throwing the dummy out the pram, and it all started with a response to my own post in which I responded to about a (seemingly) arrogant and pedantically erroneous post, oh well, it then fell into the victimisation of females yet again...The usual; ploy of group of pesons who simply can't defend their stance...

English, Scottish, British, European...I am just proud to be myself....But I do have a British passport....

You should be proud of your different national identities.

You should be proud of how you where brought up by your peers but just thankfull that you were not brought up in a very different environment,be it anywhere third world on this planet or just with terrible parents!

Dont fret BG^^^^^ Miss G has to routinely change her name on here as I think she is often asked to leave maybe!!

Ignore her and she will eventually ignore you, she is smallfry.

Not allways can anyones opinion be agreed with,but everyone has the ability to state there point of view.
The ability to contibute effectively to a debate,and cause on topic responses is an art.It is an admirable quality reguardless of strong dissagreements.
The reference to the ability to change your name suggests that your either new to the site or your just ignorant to the moderators capabilities of recognising a face!

Oil wrestling, please!

Wasn't GSTQ the British national anthem first? It's more than 300 years since England was a country in its own right, and I can't find a record of us having an anthem before that time.


One of the verses is about Marshall Wade sorting out the Scots


Actually, it was "rebellious Scots", not the general Scottish population - many of whom welcomed the Union. I see nothing wrong in quelling rebellions......
