Now Rob, you've been a member on here for a year now. That timescale has included last years 6 Nations & also the Rugby World Cup. You should know the answer.

[BeerFunk]

Forgive me for switching sports momentarily, but this popped up in a debate on Friday night (and is related to nationality)

Of all the Premiership teams realistically challenging for a European place this season, the nationalities of the respective managers/coaches are as follows..

Arsenal - French
Man United - Scottish
Chelsea - Israeli
Everton - Scottish
Liverpool - Spanish
Aston Villa - Irish
Man City - Swedish
Blackburn - Welsh

Sorry, as you were... :p

I'm sorry, Steve.

You'll have to forgive me, but I tend not to notice posts on the subject of sport, as it's something I have little interest in.

[Corabar Steve]

So you say each time you reply to one of them

I'd get a refund on your crystal ball Tony, if I were you.

It's got quite a time lag on it.

I honestly don't think they deserved the win.

France for the championship, Wales runner up I think

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Were you born in Wales Steve?

[Corabar Steve]

No, Shepherds Bush (ironicly (think about it :sj:)). My family is from Aberdare & I have more Welsh in me than English or Scots (breeding wise)

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

So you're English then....

[Penfold42]

:confused:

[Corabar Steve]

Is Cliff Richard Indian?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Did you live in Wales when you were a child for a long time then?

[Corabar Steve]

What does that have to do with it?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

What does that have to do with it?

What does Cliff Richard have to do with it? :confused:

You were born in England, never lived in Wales and yet claim you're Welsh!

In that case, I am...........Australian. :D :D :D

[Penfold42]

G'day mate.....................:D

[Corabar Steve]

How many generations back were your ancestors deported?

My fathers family is traceable back a very long way as Welsh & Nothing but Welsh. My mothers family, we have managed to trace back 8 generations as a mixture of english, Scottish & Welsh. I'm actually more Scots (never mind Welsh) than English regardless of where I was born

[Penfold42]

So......it's who you fancy then....but you have a bit of Welsh.....:)

Nice family history and actually I do have Australian relations.

My greand parents were Welsh, hence my surname, but I was born in this country and am proud to be English.

I think if someone is born somewhere and has lived there all their live then they are that nationality.

It seems that some people pick what suits them when it comes down to it.

[Corabar Steve]

My father was welsh my mother is a mix of English, welsh & Scots, that makes Wales the majority shareholder in my genes. As far as I'm concerned that makes me Welsh. I didn't choose to be born or live my childhood in England & I certainly wasn't going to move away from a very good job (earning much more than most of my peers) at the age of 17 when I left home, for the sake of National pride.

You are what your ancestors were. Not where you were born (unless they work out the same).

In reality that makes me more of a half breed I suppose, but as genetically I have more Welsh blood, it's logical that that is what I am. It would be dishonest to claim to be English when it has the least amount of my genetic make up.

As for choosing what suits, don't you think I'd choose a team that was better than being good only about once every 4 years?

[BeerFunk]

Well, what would I be? I was born in England, as my mother is English and my father met her when he was in the RAF. I lived in England for 8 years until 1990, when my parents divorced. I have lived in Scotland since then, and have only returned to England 4 times. Some would say I'm English, but I feel Scottish, although I will settle for British :D

[Corabar Steve]

You seem to support Scotland though :sj:

I would say it's down to your genetic make up. Is your mum Scots? & was there much "intermingling" involving your ancestors?

You could be a halfbreed :sj:

[rob1963]

Out of interest, what's the difference between Scottish, Scots & Scotch?

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Out of interest, what's the difference between Scottish, Scotts & Scotch?

Scottish is what you are if you're from Scotland, scotch is a blended whisky (might be an e in there) and Scotts (http://www.scotts-restaurant.com/)is a restaurant. :D

[rob1963]

Scottish is what you are if you're from Scotland, scotch is a blended whisky (might be an e in there) and Scotts (http://www.scotts-restaurant.com/)is a restaurant. :D

Hmmmmm....

I've just looked them up online.

Scotch = The people of Scotland (no mention of eggs!)
Scots = Scottish
Scottish = Relating to Scotland or its people

Now I'm even MORE confused!

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

I am pretty sure that Scotch is not a word pertaining to Scottish people, but just a word used by ignorant English people who don't know any better.

What on earth were you looking at Rob to find those definitions?

[Jiggles]

Scottish is a thing or a person originating from Scotland. Scot/s is a person or it can be the Scots language

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Scottish is a thing or a person originating from Scotland. Scot/s is a person or it can be the Scots language

And Scotch? (apart from the drink)

Thats just a drink lol

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Come on then people in Scotland.

What is scotch?

[Jiggles]

From Wiki :D Scotch is an adjective meaning 'of Scotland' now considered pejorative.

[Corabar Steve]

OK Callum, where did you look that one up?

[Jiggles]

What the meaning of Scotch? Wikipedia :D

[BeerFunk]

I am pretty sure that Scotch is not a word pertaining to Scottish people, but just a word used by ignorant English people who don't know any better.I'd say that was about correct :)


Come on then people in Scotland.

What is scotch?I have no idea, I've never heard anyone use the word here, only in other countries (England, USA...)

[Dragonfly]

From Wiki :D Scotch is an adjective meaning 'of Scotland' now considered pejorative.


what's pejorative?? :D :D :D

[Corabar Steve]

A word is a term of derision, or a phrase is pejorative, if it implies contempt or disapproval. The adjective pejorative is synonymous with derogatory

Oh yes, well done England!

Thanks for proving that France aren't unbeatable.

I'm dreading our next 2 matches, the biggest chances of Welsh loss IMO.

Although I really hope it goes right down to the wire (so to speak)

Indeed. Especially when you consider that they had 14 men for 20 minutes

Ireland deserved the try in the first half. Shame about the knock on.

Changing the rules so that Wilkinson becomes top scorer during today's match, what's that all about???

Trying to gain a psychological advantage????
