Mock me Roger for I am English

[MMIX]

In LMNO's thread Fact check, plz Roger said

Silly English people.   

No wonder you had to hire Germans to run your country.

Here's something to give you  a laugh Roger -I'm not actually sure that there has ever been an English monarch of the Kingdom of England. The Neanderthals came over then there was the tribal times, then the Romans [Italian] then the dark ages - more tribalism. The Angles and Saxons were germanic, the Normans were French, King Arthur was mythical. Our favourite hero king, Richard the Lionheart didn't speak English and hardly set foot in the damn country, his evil brother John did deign to live here and was repaid for that ridiculous affectation by revolting Barons who made him sign Magna Carta.  The Tudors were Welsh, the Stuarts started out Scots and ended up Dutch and when they ran out of Dutchmen we were taken over by the Germans, from Hanoverians  [the people not the horses] to our current deeply beloved Saxe-Coburg-Gothas. Oops sorry I meant the House of Windsor. Are you still laughing because it really is utterly giggleworthy. Oh, and then there was Monty Python, which is just about appropriate I suppose

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

It's true... Merry Old England is a Slut.

Those revolting barons, they never did wash.

wow
what the hell would happen if I got this uppity every time someone made a joke about Canadians, or being French...

I'm pretty sure it would make you, by definition, significantly less French.

apparently the intended humour of this passed you by, ah well, everyone's a critic . . .
Its traditional British self-deprecating humour. Sorry you didn't get a giggle out of it. And apparently uppity means something different in Canada.

[Thurnez Isa]

That's why you called Roger out in the subject
for some self deprecating humour right?

I did WHAT??? The flying fuck I did
no I made a joke and instead of stinking LMNO's thread up I put it here

[Thurnez Isa]

I probably misread it then... sorry if I did

no sweat, and can I be nosey? Are you first language French?

[Thurnez Isa]

Sort of. I come from a french Canadian family (Northern Ontarian so a mostly slang dialect), but in late high school I switched over to primarily English, then after high school I went to being completely English. After 10 years I could barely write in French anymore since all my friends are English. Though believe it or not I can actually write 5000 word lab reports in about 2 night. It would have took me a week just a few years ago.

This is a very difficult conflict.

Wow it must be so cool to be bi-lingual. I wondered 'cos sometimes your word orders are just a bit different than I expect. I live in Wales but speak very little Welsh myself, though my kids all learned it in school, and you hear that almost subliminal difference in sentence structure in first language Welsh speakers.
