[Demerzel]

Yay, America has been OWNED by CT! I need to change the phrasing of the title of this thread, it sounds like "Bad! Canadians are Insulting!"

[Death-Wuad]

What happens when you talk to an american? http://home.comcast.net/~wwwstephen/americans/

T in the park (scottish festival) is so called because the T stands for Tennents a beer brand. Although I'm sure the English would beg to differ as to them they probably think it means Tea in the park and therefore the english are the most stupid and pansy like race on the earth!

[Kaniaz]

and therefore the english are the most stupid and pansy like race on the earth! [/b] ... You are really lucky I can't make custom avatars.

[Demerzel]

Heh, why?

[Kaniaz]

Heh, why?[/b] *points to left*. Well, duh.

[Finde]

wait a sec the left of where u wrote is ur name so u just said that u were gonna give me a custom avatar because of urself...

[Kaniaz]

Of course.

[Demerzel]

He means the flag. He's English.

[Finde]

But the flag is supposedly 'British' so I don't get what he means

[Kaniaz]

Look, I'm English. Enteriely English. My parents are from England, so is my Grandfather and Mother, and some people from our family were on the Titantic and another was a good friend of Lord Nelson, and we once got candles from him. So, you now know I'm English and I don't approve of English people being called pansies and stupid. We've done alot in history, created colonies in America, Canada, Japan, we've had Captain Cook, fought WWII and WWI and tons of other stuff.

[Demerzel]

Originally posted by Kaniaz fought WWII and WWI I don't agree that that was English. Just cause the BRITISH leader started the bloody thing doesn't mean it's primarily English. Anyway, MY THREAD, MY BEAUTIFUL THREAD, A PLAYGROUND!

[Kaniaz]

I didn't say "IT WAS ALL ENGLISH'S DOING", I meant "England parcipated in it"

[jacobo]

and what powerhouse of a country do you hail from techboy?

The 50 or so times I've been in canada, I can never get over how their money sounds like it was designed by a child molestor.
