Ahhh... The Southerners Are getting uppity again I see http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nice to see you back GT. I was curious if you would be, afterall, we need a trully british perspective on things here.

So I ask the dreaded questions. "What are your Opinions on: The Current English Cricket Situation and of course the French Riots, Is it genuine Civil Unrest or do the French just like a good revolution?" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smirk.gif

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
 

Hello Mac, still around but finding less time to cruise the web as normal. Still overworked, overpaid and over here. Family is fine (another kitten due next May). Damn, I am a danger to women.

RD, well, we need some English class on this board. You don't count being from Carlisle. That is kind of like a dead dog on a termite mound, but without the charm. You probably count as foreign, or even worse, French or colonial!! only joking says he crossing fingers.

English cricket? dunno, not a big cricket fan but seen enough to know that the flash in the pan that was the Ashes is probably history. Still we are losing to a good side like Pakistan, it is if Zimbabwe or Bangladesh beat us is where we really have to worry.

At this time of year in any event, I lose interest in pretty much every sport except rugby. Bless Investec for sponsoring the Autumn internationals. It means middle class oiks like me can mix with all the other Piers, Harveys, Ruperts and Quentins at pubs in Richmond and sing "huzzah" when our brave boys thrash allcomers (well, actually what we sang last week was "We sh@gged Matilda we sh@gged Matilda we sh@gged Matilda and so did our mates").

French riots?, I suppose I could crack the old joke about the French being revolting but I actually think they have hit problems we may well face soon. If you allow immigration, you cannot the ignore the immigrants if you want everything to work. Corralling them in what amount to ghettos and denying their slice of the future is just asking for civil disturbance. Same may happen over in Blighty....

and yes, I have lost my old password hence the new monicker.

Hey! What d'ya mean by that? My ancestors were French http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
And we're still a healthy 6 millions French-Canadians up here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
You got that damn right, I could not explain it better.

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
 

Hey, being Cumbrian isn't something I'm proud of. After all, Scotland and England only fought for centuries to decide who would end up with Carlisle.

History says the English won, but considering Carlisle is on the English Side of the border... A terrible dilema, being stuck with Carlisle or shamelessly losing to the Scots http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
 

well congrats there you wiley old Kat. Happy it is I am for you and Mrs Tigga. Thats great, pretty soon you'll have enough kittens to form your own soccor team http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
You tell her I said Hi, and I send my warmest congrats to the both of you..

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
 

Cats are really strange animals... they almost seem human in some ways, but I don't know to many humans who will bring you a dead mouse.

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
 

Atrocities, to you it is an expired rodent, to the cat it is like giving (and getting) a really nice and expensive present, kind of like a posh watch or something.

Mac, thanks for the thanks. Clan Growltiger are all well. Growltiger Junior is turning into a pretty little terror, but hey ho, she will take after me then..... hope the Mac Posse are all good and that you are getting decent letching opportunities.

RD, yep, what a bind? we get Carlisle and Berwick or have to admit losing to the Jocks. Personally, I would have gone for a strategic withdrawal just after we whipped their hairy Gaelic derrieres so that we could have "retired" with honour. I mean, we could have always quoted dietary differences or something.

Still means all Cumbrians molest sheep on a regular basis.

Paladin, sorry mate but you fall within the mother of all horrors, a colonial and a Frenchman, merde alors, a French Canadian!! (is that what they call a Canuck or whatever it is?) only joking

Re: Not Quite THAT Poor!!
 

Congratulations.

And what's so wrong with living in one of the formerly British Colonies? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif After all, we didn't all come from Britain. Norway! And my British ancestors (of which there were a few) didn't revolt like those Americans did! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif One more point in our favor; we speak proper English here, not like those people in Britain... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif ***Ducks behind something large***

And yet, still outnumbered by the rest of us English-speaking Canadians...oh only about 3.5 to 1 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
