a fascinating read

 

No reason to doubt it. There have been many theories about the origin of Celts including a distant link with the Indian sub-continent, one way or the other. Way back my ancestors arrived in Scotland from N. Ireland but I have no idea how they got there.

 

My ancestors also had a distant link with the Indian sub-continent.
They got here by BOAC.

 

That's cheating. I bet my ancestors had to walk.

 

See.........Hitler was'nt all that different from you lot

I'll get me coat.

 

Don't forget his girlfriend Sheila Brown

 

Aye,great,i knew that,but you just ruined the whole joke,why????????????????

 

So the Scots would still be stuck in the dark ages if it were not for the intervention of the Germans with their teutonic efficiency .......... more cultural stereotypes than i could poke a stick at.

 

If it was scotish it would be fried in batter with a Mars bar floating in the middle :-S

 

[Nihal, look again, Mort didn't write Austrian....]

 

That's why Midge Ure disappeared after Live Aid.

 

I know that too..............damn it,stop treating me like a 14 years old kid........i'm 15

 

I'll tell you something, Nihal, you have a more grown up head on your shoulders then some 'grown ups' I know!

 

A lot of things in UK are German. The Royal Family, Christmas, descendants of Angles and Saxons, the language (except for the french bits). The English and the Germans are pretty close.

 

Not when it comes top penalty shoot outs.
