Re: Scottish Army

Weel I'm a Killie supporter not a celt! Spit!!

However, last night on BBC2 there was a program about the clearances, whereby in the early 1800's scotland was cleared of its population by avaricious landlords and half a million scots went to the colonies to escape starvation,deprivation etc (bit like Maggies Scotland in the early 80's) .. so therefor I feel I can support Australia as a nation of expatriate scots without any qualms.

The original objective of rugby is to get the ball over your opponant's line and touch it down. The fact that England didn't get near France's try line at all during the match and relies on one pretty boy kicker signifies to me thay they are not worthy contenters for World rugby champions. Anyway 800 years of oppression are enough for me to support Oz.

I think you'll also find Wales scored 3 tries, had another one disallowed to England's one. Basically England have a good pack and one good kicker. Australia will do what the Weslh did in the first half but Oz will have the stamina to do it for 80 mins. By my calcs that will be 6 tries to Oz vs 2 to England. JW will have a lot of kicking to do to stay in contention ..

you can now see why they wear skirts. ranting away like a bunch of hysterical women about stuff that happened ages ago that they just wil not let lie, whilst at the same time seething jealousy at anyone prettier or more talented than them.

Why?

This is a serious question but why do the Celtic nations hate the English so much? I get the impression this is a recent thing, say over the last 25yrs. It cannot be because the English occupied your countries hundreds of years ago. I mean you dont see the French rabidly hating the Germans because they've invaded twice in the last hundred years and the French are just as fiercely proud as you lot. It cannot be because the English are raping your countries; England is a net financial contributor to all of you. It cannot be because you dont have influence in government; the current incumbents are run by a Celtic mafia. Any chance of an Englishman becoming a MSP? I thought not. Oh yes and we're paying for that folly at Holyrood as well. I mean we even cheerfully allow you lot to parade your flags on the back of your cars. How long would a car last in Scotland with a flag of St George on the back?
So, come on guys, what is it, whats ailing you lot?

Re: Why?

Agree with all you've said.

I think it stems from the attitudes of the English press (supposed to be British press and boradcasters) more than anything. I pay my licence fee yet we see and hear the language of prejudice against the Welsh and Scots on a daily basis. If we were Pakisatanis and or Muslims the press wouldn't get away with alot of what goes on. A good example is the Anne Robinson issue, that typifies the prejudice that goes on in the English media. BBC wouldn't pull that part of the programme and wouldn't appologise. Imagine if AR's comments had been about Pakistanis or Indians??? The racial equality people would have dragged the BBC into court, but as its only the Welsh or the Scots we are accuse of having no sense of humour.

I think the Scots and the Welsh in particular have replace the Irish as the butt of English jokes etc. The Irish are now sucessful and can stand on their own two feet and are no longer under any real influence from England. I think that each time the English knock the Welsh or the Scots they belittle the English by demonstrating that they don't have an Empire any longer and that the only coutries they can bully are poor little defenceless ones. Understand your point about England being a net contributor to these communities, well there are also arguements they other way e.g. what happened to wealth from all the coal and stell from the valleys in the 20th Century, didn't go to the Welsh I can assure you (did in the 19th Centruy!). Some mught see this net contribution from England as reparations /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

As someone else said about the British, English thing. If a Welsh sprint hurdler does well e.g. Colin Jackson, he is described as British (and therefore implied English by proxy) whereas English atheletes that do well are always 'English'. You may say us celts are being picky, but this is language we here every day, drip ,drip drip by the English media and it does get our goat.

I think these are some of the reasons you see such a reaction and lack of willingness to rally around England.

err steps of soap box to allow a bekilted scots git to have a say /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Re: Why?

English press? The BBC, at least, falls over backwards to promote regional identities. The Welsh even have their own TV and radio stations (which I pay for) and the airwaves are infested with regional accents torturing the Queen's english.
It is true that many foreigners refer to the UK as England, particularly the Americans but you cant blame us for that
As for jokes, offhand, I cant think of any anti Welsh or Scottish jokes but there are loads of Essex girl type jokes. Sure there are national stereotypes eg Scots being mean but the Yorkies have the same reputation
So, come on, there must be something more than this to it?

Re: Why?

Young Scottish Love

A young Scottish lad and lassie were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, and just gazing out over the loch. For several minutes they sat silently, then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, "A penny for your thoughts, Jim."

"Well, uh, I was thinkin'. . .perhaps it's aboot time for a wee kiss."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. After a while the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Jim."

"Well, uh I was thinkin.......perhaps its noo aboot time for a wee cuddle."

The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him for a few seconds. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. After a while the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Jim."

"Well, uh I was thinkin...perhaps its aboot time you let me poot ma hand on your leg."

The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her knee. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch. After a while the girl spoke again. "Another penny for your thoughts, Jim."

The young man knit his brow. "Well, now," he said, "My thoughts are a bit more serious this time."

"Really?" said the girl in a whisper, filled with anticipation. "Aye," said the Jim. The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush, and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.

Din'na ye think it's aboot time ye paid me the first three pennies?

If they persist in going on about 196*, just ask them about a certain football match that took place at Wembley in 1967, involving the late James Baxter. That usually shuts most of them up.
