This is correct. We aren't European, we're British.

I'm not British, I'm English

Yeah im English too.

I havent heard the Scots or Welsh claiming to be British when I`ve been amongst them either. its always been a freindly rivalry between us. Like with the french but the Scots and the Welsh will poke fun back.

I deffinately dont feel I`m the same nationality as the Scottish and the Welsh. I know we let the Welsh play Cricket with us but we`ve always been at war with the Jocks.

Also, the few people i`ve met from Northern Ireland have considered themselves to be British.

Are you sure you're English? You don't talk the way diebitter talks. You sound like an American to me.

Diebitter is old school and puts on a monocle and bulldog before going out in public. Raju is probably younger.

I know what you mean. I like the idea of not peeing on orphans, but I don't really like not doing it.

I absolutely love the italians [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

When we first came to Canada we moved into 'little italy' in Toronto. We couldn't speak any english at the time but I just remember growing up thinking how cordial the Italians were. It was just such a nice place to grow up. There were not too many asians like myself there but I just remember growing up hanging out at the cafes and how happy I was. My dad would always be joking around and laughing with the neighbours.

Also right up there on my list are the Brits [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I don't think I've ever met a Brit that I didn't like. I just love their humour. My best friend at the time introduced me to some of his british friends and cousins and they were all awesome. I also met quite a few Brits back when i was younger during my rave years but that's another story [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Fun times.

Almost all Germans I have met over the years have been friendly enough. However, I find them to be obnoxious and annoying drunks. Too loud and silly for my taste. Their accents are like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I have spent the most time with Russians and Ukrainians. Initially they fascinated me. I guess now that I am accustomed to them they just mostly seem like regular boring Americans.

Funny, when I read 'annoying drunks' the first thing I thought was 'Russians'.
