Brendan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 You would be correct in your assumption Declan. As I?m sure everybody knows Brendan is indeed the Anglicised version of a Zulu name which means water carrier or more correctly translated, piss taker.

Narnia Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Actually the French appreciate people trying to use their language even if they can speak English. Who said one story is a reflection of the English race? The more you write and the less you read seems to actually to reflect on you being arrogant.Who said your thuggish football fans are a reflection of the race as a whole? The fact is that even if they are not, they are preceived as such.You specialise is two expressions: 'can't accept' and lazy pop'. Perhaps you could try being witty or original. One will do.

SeanMacGabhann Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I will say this however:Irish television coverage of football is miles ahead of the sycophantic drivel on UK TV. That isn't anything to do with anything - it just is a current fact. It could all swap over in a few years. Except I've been waiting decadesOh and it does bug me when successful athletes are British and unsuccesful ones are Welsh/Scottish etc..

I left them to discuss the matter.

Brendan Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Just thinking about what you said earlier Declan. You said that the title of this thread is blatantly offensive (or some thing similar). I have to disagree with you there. If you look at the phraseology used it is quite blatantly tongue in cheek. Especially the use of the words hostile (over the top) and looking (a little silly in this context).Now if the title was something like, I hate the French who?s with me or What?s the difference between a Frenchman and a Belgian I would agree with you. But I can?t see anything serious in, I feel hostile towards French looking people today, followed by And normally I only feel this way about pigeons.

mockney piers Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Oh and the whole the Irish have the right to hate the British thing, I've been saying in Ireland that this is just daft, British rulers were every bit as cruel to their own subjects (should we hate the French because those damn Plantaganets massacred Wat Tyler and his troop of good English men? - don't be silly).Those with power just happen to be bastards to those without, not just to foreigners, and then I read this wonderful article in the Irish independent."more perverse was the general attitude that saw Ireland as being oppressed for centuries by the British, and especially by the English.In this context we see how language is abused: for "Britain" you should read "Britain's power elite". Innocent people grew up with the concept of one nation persecuting the other. Of course this is absurd.The seas between our two islands are not boundaries -- they are roads. For centuries there has been great coming and going between the two islands. The sweet music of the Gaelic language was heard in London in Shakespeare's time. Most of Wellington's army at the Battle of Waterloo were Southern Irish. It is said that after Gallipoli there was a crepe in every second house in the Coombe. I'm merely trying to say that these two islands have long been bound together. The British power elite abused their own common people just as much as they abused us. The eviction of the Highland Scots was an example of a people being cruel to their own.We will come nearer home: even in the worst times of the bombing in England by our "Freedom Fighters", there was no significant backlash. This proved, if proof were needed, that George Orwell was right when he always claimed that the English were essentially a decent people."

SeanMacGabhann Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Mostly good stuff Piers - but again, I don't think it was Britain's in-power elite who posted the "No blacks No dogs No Irish" signs in B&B's across the land in teh 50's 60's and 70'sNot that the Irish are behaving any better now they have a few coppers mind you....
