No one will ever like the British. They stole too much from the rest of the world.

Quite unexpectedly - I learnt somink

Got mine this morning :smile:
(Also got their email about this promotion)

Couple of good songs but giving them their own day is a bit OTT.

Imo.

Yes they were

Weren't the Normans of Viking blood?

I.e. humiliate yourself for something you can buy elsewhere for 30p.

The French or croissants?

The French (Normans) are one of 3 nations that have successfully invaded Britain and ruled it. The others are Denmark (Vikings) and Italy (Romans). Although to be correct it was Normandy then so French speaking Normans ruled England and strictly speaking not France as it didn't exist as it does today. The English language is a complex amalgam of foreign invaders languages and languages from all the territories the British Empire invaded (the largest world empire known to man, some 25% of the Earth's territory, larger than the Roman Empire).

Which is why most if not all words ending in 'ion' have French origin, and words such as bungalow (Indian) are borrowed words from the escapades of the British Empire.

There are other widely spread uses of words in the English language such as Sauna which are not due to the above influences, Sauna is a word of Finnish origin.

A fairly comprehensive list of words from foreign origin is given in this wikipedia article >

Perhaps my favourite is > smorgasbord (from the Swedish smörgåsbord, literally "sandwich table"), which in Swedish either refers to a buffet with very specific types of food, or is used as a metaphor.

There's so many to choose from. This is the type of trivia I like to spend my time on :smile:

"Golem: A man-made humanoid; an android, Frankenstein monster (from Hebrew גלם gōlem, but influenced in pronunciation by Yiddish goylem)"

Anyway I thank the French for Croissants as they taste bloody lovely with hot melted butter.

Tres bon!

The French will never like the British. They owe us too much.

Greatest troll post ever, they even managed to hack the website (nerd)

Blimey, what does Paul say about this?

You forgot the string of onions and white flag.

Stripes it is for casual dress Fridays at work
