jimbarry 0 #28 October 28, 2004 FAKE ALERT What do you think? Doesn't reading these sound suspiciously like they were written by a brit and not at all by an american. are an ornery sort and don't take meddling well (sounds like a brit wrote that) ... try not to sell your sovereignty out to Brussels and Berlin (do hardly any americans even know that Brussels is the seat of the EU?) ... bag the lot of you (sounds brit to me) ... We live in a globalised (z?) ... than having patronising (z?) ... folks from Ohio to do the same in Oxfordshire (what american even knows that Oxfordshire's a place?) ... the Guardian is sponsoring a service (sponsoring a service? brit!) ... We all enjoyed this at work. Cheers. ("cheers"? that means "thanks" in brit-speak yeah?) ... I shall endeavour (extra "u" in there) ... have a say in the selection (would an american say this?) ... While I empathise (z?) ... people to empathise (z?) ... all western civilisation (z?) It's a rag paper pandering to the anti-americanism in britain, that's all.

miked10270 0 #29 October 28, 2004 "Oh apparently you have to be a born and bread "Yorker", if that's what you call a person from York." Actually no. A native of York is actually called: Ugly git with smashed in face and crossbow sticking out of his arse Up here in Scotland. They call themselves Yorkshiremen. They are also under the impression that Yorkshire is in fact a completely independent state.... Sort of like Swamp-Texans but without the nice climate. Yorkshiremen are also notoriously mean... So the Scots aren't overly worried about being shot, not while crossbow bolts and the stuff to clean them cost money!!! Incidentally, a native of Newcastle is called a "Geordie" because in the last Scottish "Day trip South" (English: Rebellion) the city of Newcastle closed and barred it's city gates and declared it's allegiance to King George! People from Birmingham are called "Brummies". People from London are called "Cockneys". But strangely, people from Goole are not called Goolies!... At least not in Goole. Mike.

mr2mk1g 10 #32 October 28, 2004 QuoteSome one from Yorkshire is called a Yorkie A male born of Yorkshire is called a "Tyke". There are indeed archaic laws on the statute book relating to the legality of acts such as the killing of a Scotsman within the old City Walls of York after dark (I understand this is non-weapon specific) and as to the killing of Welshmen within the grounds of Hereford Cathedral on a Sunday (if I remember correctly you are required to use a longbow although I cannot recollect if there is a prescribed range). Anyone hoping to take advantage of these laws however would find themselves falling fowl of the 1957 Homicide Act and the effect it had on these laws by virtue of the doctrine of implied repeal. Despite what the papers say – they no longer have any legal effect. They do make a good joke though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peacefuljeffrey 0 #35 October 28, 2004 Quoteyup Well, are you saying that there's no such word as "treasoner"? I thought I had heard it, but dictionary.com says no entry found. Weird. I always thought it was a word. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #36 October 28, 2004 I've never heard of "treasoner" - but then I’m not about to adduce that of proof of a negative. I am sure though that "traitor" is the correct term for someone who commits "treason" though. Try dictionary.com'ing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
