[Closed] Does Anyone Actually Care About This Country Anymore

Bags are packed. Really sorry everyone. I'm taking my sexy accent home. Your women are safe again.

or who frequent interweb mountain biking forums as the thought police

DD you never fitted in what with your well groomed sartorial elegance it was obvious you were never one of us
You never even thought of here as home ...if we cannot integrate you what hope is there for us ?

in that case junky, you know I'm thinking of you in a pair of leather chaps oiling yourself up

*runs off for a quiet "moment" with myself*

Well got a few more bites tonight, hope I get this many at the weekend round the lake.

And thanks for the history lesson's, they really bored me 😈
😈

*spots tazzy. puts on thought police uniform*

It's a dirty job but us immigrants are used to that.

JY - I drink real ale. I argue about football. I hate Tories. What more could I do. I've been marginalised. I feel there nowhere left to go now.

Not if the Poles have got there first. I hear they don't put the Carp back in and take them home to live in their baths. Well it's not like they need a wash is it?

*waves at DD as a fellow non-indigenous occupant of the UK*

Carp is there Xmas dinner,nice 😕

The Latin spoken in churches faithful to Rome over the centuries gave much of Europe a common language. I've heard some old folk still reciting their bits in Latin in recent services. English has become a universal language as a basic communication tool but that communication remains superficial. To get to grips with a culture you need to learn the languages.

Languages? Body language, facial expressions, tics and the various registers of spoken language. When you get to grips with that lot you'll find that the differences still run deep. We might watch the same film but different versions with different sound tracks and our reactions to them won't be the same. "Coup de Foudre à Nottinghill" has just finished on M6. Even with a French soundtrack it's still an Anglo-American film. Mad Max had diferent English soundtracks for British and Australian release.

Is anyone left on this thread actually English??
he may have a point about us taking over you know 😯

Look, I realise that you're as thick as pigshit and can't help being a racist ****er, but for heaven's sake, learn to spell and punctuate.

My kids are English, but I'm not, I have a Swiss national insurance number and I had an Iranian girlfriend. But we all wear jeans and t-shirts in peace and harmony. 40DD, is there room on your rickshaw for another Paddy?

Sorry sir I'll try harder next time, "racist *" don't think so. Do you spell check all forums * you sad sack...

that one was a bit obvious, sorry

maintains surveillance of tazzy*

will notice taz has let beard grow and looks suspiciously of middle east origin 😯

I've only just come on here, and I'm bored, but in the most reserved, stiff-upper-lip English fashion.
See, there's at least one of us still around.

Plenty of room iDaithí.

How's Switzerland these days? Have they banned any outward signs of Oirishness? The green suit and pot of gold (plated) are ok in Geneva?

It is actually, during the world cup people in certain area's of the UK were asked not to have them on their car's so not to offend the multicultural taxi drivers.

yes but apparently real english folk swear by putting the swear word in the ******* wrong place if his earlier effort is anything to go by

Bollix.

I resisted for a while then read the OP, but none of the thread beyond that.

"Person in expensive car throws litter out the window" seems to sum it up.

Is any of it worth reading?

if you really want to swear use old norse, it's much more fun

Al it's all a massive trollage and total bqllr

As Winston Churchill, Gor'Bless him, might have said, if he was still around, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat emails from their pals in the EDL in the hope that someone breaks cover and agrees with them.

The French are worse.

Nah - I'm officially an Irish traveller nowadays (mum and dad owned a caravan, which appears to qualify me).

my point about the empires is that you move towards homogeneity even for a really long time, but then as soon as the unifying influence disappears the differences return.

It's probably not just a case of the differences returning but that empires create the conditions for that to happen. What better way for the colonial subjects to resist the metropole than to maintain their own language even in the face of persecution. Perhaps it is the nature of past empires which we have to thank for the current level of nationalism?

Interesting point. From what I understand of the Roman Empire though large chunks of the upper and middle classes were far too busy enjoying the perks to worry about independence. Much like that Life of Brian scene.

In any case - we should not try to go back, only forward...
