What's your nationality?

First topic message reminder :

I'm interested in the composition of 606v2 - there's certainly a lot more Scots than I'd have expected for a start!

I have met some......................my wife..............................my son............................



















That's about it.

Nah, just joking with you biltong. Some of my best friends are Sth Afrikans

I guess you then don't play that song "I have never met a nice souf african"

Never heard of it biltong.

I do remember, however, when i was in Australia during some big event (commonwealth games?) back in the 80's. The Aussies made a song called "I dont care as long as we beat New Zealand", that was pretty funny.

there are a number of them on youtube, it is quite a catchy song to be honest.

I will have a look when i get home, damn company blocks youtube

I remember it, b side to the chicken song.

So what teams do you support? and why?
Anyway what's so special about being human. Dolphins are people too you know. They have feels. Cut them do they not bleed?
I'm a vegetarian.

Hi nganboy,

Good question.

There would be no competitive rugby without some historical and political bedded wrath, so the wonderful game more than serves its purpose as a conduit for skilled and controlled vitriol refereed under an IRB rulebook that would put Young’s Double-slit to shame in terms of confusion. As it seems customary to support a team I choose Cymru, in the hopeful expectation that they could best the ‘younger brother’ at his home ground this coming Saturday. That and the grid reference of my origin which still holds my abstract emotional attention.

As for dolphins, I have nothing against dolphins personally; as a general point I do abhor the assumption that everyone likes dolphins. This has the unfortunate effect of effecting my sentiment of dolphins to be net-negative when plotted against dolphin related incidents over any calendar year (so far).

Apologies to flipper.

Regarding the general pitched human-granularity of my original point, any lesser granularity would negate argument-itself as the human-victor of any inter-species verbal jousting is a natural foregone conclusion due to the enhanced Broca’s and Wernicke’s regions of the brain.

Having said that if you feel the need to go ‘toe-to-toe’ with the next available Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista and Prokaryota or Monera then go for it. I know I do!

On the subject of biomass ... after many years into my great rugby configuration management biological analogy endeavour, Derwyn Jones, still has me vexed. I’m guessing somewhere between tree and giraffe with the hand skills to match.

Any Ideas?

What's confusing about Young's double-slit?

On what basis are England the "younger brother" of Wales?

When did you develop such a fondness for proliferation of the hyphen?

Did you mean "affecting your sentiment for dolphins" rather than "effecting you sentiment of dolphins"?

Are you HERSH in disguise?

Mathematics.
History.
In my past.
Yes.
No.

What is the historical basis of England being Wales' younger brother?

miteyironpaw wrote:What is the historical basis of England being Wales' younger brother?

Because previous generations of English were driven out by later invaders and moved to Wales?

Of course this means that the Welsh are really English in denial.

Yeah theres a colony of them in Belfast......

So we're all agreed a victory for Wales would be a victory for England?

Grandmother from Orkney. Grandfather from Wales (North- Rhyl). Mother a Scouser (spelling ?) but still born and brought up in Glasgow and apart from a (too long) spell in the services have always worked there too. Therefore am still available to play centre for the boys in blue on Sunday if Robinson has another brain fart !

Mysti, after 3 World Cup Finals and no cigar... it would be a miracle. Besides, the Krauts stole all the bikes on their way home. We owe them one for that alone. A big one in Euro2012.

Peace and Love man.

stole you bikes???

your aving a bubble.

btw them bikes- are they just free for all? they all look the same.

Nah Mysti, it the 1st and last thing we say to them, when they come for hols. Geef mij mijn fiets terug, Duits loser!

They stole em when they were on the run from the Allies, to get back to the Fatherland. We kept the Tanks and turned them into coffeeshops, obviously.

nice.. gonna need me a trip there soon, last one i went to was cremers in den hauge, that place was sweeet. better than anything i been to in the dam

Welsh!

I wouldn't want it any other way... though if my sons is bad at Rugby he is qualified to play for Pakistan! (from his Mums side)

Mysti, excellent choice sir. One of the finer establishments to chill in. I frequent there for the odd coffee. Got some Saffer mates who live in Den Haag.

yeah den haag a top place- deffo worth a revist, because we didnt even manage to get down the beach- which is supposedly decent as well

Mysti, my 1st contract was down that way in the mid-80's. I was taken to a semi-nudie beach by a stunning Dutch girl and her mates. A pink.. nay a blue-skinned Paddie,(took me a week to go white) midst all of them bobbling around. Near died and thought Id gone to Heaven. The missus came over 2 weeks later. And stayed. Ah well.

sweet- a summer trip to den haag is on the cards

I'm a bit of a part time fan of the girl from Ruggachick.com, she looks like a nice South African to me, just quietly.

I am not subscribing to any nationality. I put my bestest tracksuit on and become pure Culchie....

Watch out for your sheep
