So, the questions is: When does ignorance end and when does rasism begin?
A former colleague of mine told me upon arrival in the Gulf. " My dear boy. There are two forms of racism. One is born of ignorance and the other is born from experience. you will find that you will fall into the latter category"


I was never best mates with him.

Don't be intimidated by the exhibitionistic posturing of the PC attacks dogs.

They are definitely not offended by what you said but are using this event as an excuse to parade their �virtue�. Think of their communications as being mere noise, similar to the chirping of cicadas, whereby they locate like-minded *beep* to reinforce their pretensions.


In his haste to start swinging his own, Zlestial fails to differentiate between rational thinking and handbag wielding ...

Guty's right, us Scots are unfortunate: after all, we've got the FEBs for neighbours.
When an Anglo refers to "Jocks" he's just having a bit of fun, but when a Scot (or a Welshman or Irishman) has a dig at the Anglos, he's a racist.
If we'd had one ounce of the gumption of the Irish we'd have kicked them out ages ago.
Irony: an Anglo calling a German arrogant.

The Scots have their whisky, the Welsh have their speech
And their poets are paid about ten pence a week
Provided no hard words on England they speak
Oh Lord! What a price for devotion!

The sea, oh the sea is the gradh geal mo croide
Long may it stay between England and me
It's a sure guarantee that some hour we'll be free
Oh! thank God we're surrounded by water

The Danes came to Ireland with nothing to do
But dream of the plundered old Irish they slew
"Yeh will in your Vikings", said Brian Boru
And threw them back in the ocean

The sea, oh the sea is the gradh geal mo croide
Long may it stay between England and me
It's a sure guarantee that some hour we'll be free
Oh! thank God we're surrounded by water

Maybe they should become EFL teachers, the pay is just slightly higher.

... and you only have to avoid talking about s**, politics and religion. All the 'hard words on England' you wish to speak are permissible, if not in fact appreciated...

I thought we have only one poet, Van, but it seems, we have a woman poet as well! Laughing

OK, let me contribute with a poem from my friend dmb: Laughing

Tom Moore made his waters meet fame and renown,
A great lover of anything dressed in a crown,
In brandy the bandy old Saxon he'd drown,
Ant throw them all back in the ocean


Two forign old monarchs in battle did join,
Each wanting their head on the back of a coin,
If the Irish had sence they'd drowned both in the Boyne,
And partition thrown into the ocean


Let me tell you Big Sandals
The Flute Girl's had it.
When I get the sisters in here
We are going to sit on the lot of you,
Come out when gushing platonic.
