Ok,  right here, right now I want to disassociate myself from this pillock.  In no way does he speak for the Britain or in general consensus of the the British people.


1)   If the cow has been taken to slaughter in the morning and divided into 4 parts.....it hasnt got 3 legs you divvy.  It's dead.  It's an ex-cow.  It's gone to the great paddock in the sky.  What's left is called a "beef carcus".

2)  It's Scottish beef, not Scotch beef.  Scotch beef is beef with scotch poored all over it.

3)  British Bacon best in the world?  Er....one word:  Danepak.

4)  Canadian bacon is *almost* as good.

5)  Yes they did play a major part in the war.....and from the start, not 2 years late.

6)  No I'm not Canadian, before you ask.

7)  I loath mint sauce, appel sauce, cranberry sauce and orange sauce.  Ruins a good bit of meat.

8)  "beef" is not an "English dish".  It's ROAST beef with Yorkshire pud.

9)  Iceydee.  Yes we do.  But if you aint British a steak and kidney pie does *sound* kinda awful......and the colour you'd go if told you were eating "Brains studmuffingots" would be kinda interesting.

How did we get on the Brit/Canada/USA thing....?   I personaly think Canada is a odd place with good looking women, and great Trance and rave parties.  As for their invovlement in WWII,  The Canadians had sent a couple of Bombersquadrons and fighter squadrons to help out in the ETO.  Now for the North Africa campaign saying that UK 2 US1 Canada 0, ahhh BS, I say US-0 UK-0 Canada-O, Hitler-5, Rommel-2,  I give that Victory to Hitler, Y cause he screwed Rommel hard in North Africa, if it wasnt for Hitler the UK and US woulda been having to recapture all of africa.  And unfortantly Canada doesnt have its own car manufacturer cause Y would they need them they can get subsidized manufacturing rights to Fords, which btw owns Aston Martin, and Jaguar, and Volvos. Chevy or GMC has rights in canada too,  and I belive Peterbuilt Semi riggs R Canadian, if its not them its one of the Semi truck manufactures.  Name a Canadian food eatin around the world uh.... Canadian Bacon,  Kinda like Cresants thnx to fast food they made it world wide.  Another something only Canada has Alanis Moriset, Micheal J. Fox,  to name a few.  So before U all start hating on another Contry please try to learn about that contry, for in my eyes NO contry is better than another, becuase my military has won more battles than your military,  Look at Switzerland, have they been to war in the past 150 years no, have they lost a war NO, have they been messed with NO, do they have one of the worlds toughest militaries YES,  another place that doesnt have a car manufacturer or a xport or any military victories is the Vatican, yes it is its own sovriegn nation, and yes it has a military and yes it is well defended and yes it is known WORLD wide as a place not to mess with, along with Isreal, India, Pakistan, Japan, and last but not least Austrailia, the list can keep going for one reason or another each contry is great and if we as a people the human race learn to work together we can become a great WORLD, and explore other aspects of our universe otherwise we will be doomed to die and become extinct and to forever be forgoten.  BTW my next vote for the next race on earth is the Roaches.

Swoop, learn to read!!

1) If we can say Scotch Salmon, then why can't we say Scotch Beef? Scotch just means it's Scottish. An abbreviation, if you like. Scotch whiskey, Scotch egg etc...

2) I said that Danish bacon is the best on the world. duh!

3)When a cow ceases to be alive, it's a dead cow Einstien. It doesn't cease being a cow, it's just a dead one.

person 1: "oh look, that cow lying on the field over ther is dead"

person 2: "that isn't a dead cow, that there is a bovine carcass"

hahaha  :D

4) Canada did not play a major part in the war. Never did and I'm not anti-Canadian, I just like people to tell the truth!.

5) I didn't say "Beef" was an english dish, I said ROAST BEEF!!! Go to SpecSavers!


My point is I am in no way anti Canadian but I don;t like to see Canadians who think they did everything or even as much as other nations in the war. Where were the Canadian made planes? Or the Canadian armour? Bah...  :rolleyes:

You can;t just provide a few infantry divisions and jump into some other nations planes and consider you made a significant contribution to the war.

As for Kingonads. The Vatican was actually taken over by the Nazis in World War 2. Have oyu ever been to the Vatican? It's just a piece of Rome. There's no wall or anything and there's a total of 160 Swiss Guards in clown suits. Oh wow, what an army!   :D Switzerland has a crap army also, they just have the advantage of being in a very easily defensible place.

Who said Rommel won in Africa? That's just silly! If you leave terrain you are considered the loser. Also, he was pulled out to avoid being annihilated! Read up on your history. And Britain liberating a few countries is a major success inmy books.

Oh, I also forget the Malta. Put another point for the Brits.  :cool:

3: Bobby who???? I said famous author. For example Britain- Kipling, Conan-Doyle, Dickens. US- Melville.

4: Again I said FAMOUS artist.

5: Candian bacon is not a famous export seeing you can't even find the stuff in europe!

6: If Canada invented Java, then I'll give oyu this one.

7: Who?

Putting one's life on the line is as significant a contribution one can make no matter what the capacity. You have completely crossed the line of bad taste and indiscretion in minimizing the ultimate sacrifices of those Canadian souls.
 I don't expect you to listen to reason..it's obvious at this point you have none. I wonder what significant contribution you ever have or ever will make to anything.
It's quite clearly time for you to simply shut the diddly up.

the term is "popular convention"

That's why Scotch eggs are known as scotch eggs.  Ginsters make Scotch eggs.....ever heard of Ginsters?  Based in Callington in CORNWALL.  Nuthin Scottish about a Ginsters Scotch egg.  Mind you, there's nuthin Cornish about a Ginsters Cornish pasty either.....but that's another story.

Anyway, go speak to an English professor, he'll tell you there is no such word as Scotch.  It's a barstardisation of Scots and has been used so often for so long that's it's become a word.

The bacon comment was to Iceydee.


And a dead cow is called a dead cow.  A cow that's been slaughtered and carved into pieces is no longer a dead cow.  IT'S A BEEF CARCUS.  And how can ya say it's got 3 legs?  They've ALL been cut off, 2 are lying in the corner and the other 2 have been sent to DIFFERENT butchers......for example.  ;)

When you die you will cease to be a human being and start being a CORPSE.  k?  I can help you with this experiment if you'd like.

You never mentioned Yorkshire pud and the damn Canadians played a bigger part than you seem to think.  Look up battles at Dieppe, who captured Brussels and who cleared the Scheldte Estuary in Holland. Then go look up No401 Squadron, RCAF.  Then go find out who supplied around 30% of the destroyer escorts in the Atlantic.  I could go on but people might start to think I like Canadians.

In any case, you're still a dick and the riddle was crap.....and I'd still like to know why you seem to think so little of the Canucks?

who said we did everything in the war?
we where part of the commonwealth in WW2, following british orders.so you're saying we where issued insignificant orders?

Canada was a major training center during WW2. we made a great deal of your airplanes here, hell there an old AVRO plant not to far from where I live!

you missed my point entirelly, aztec and swoop didn't have any problems getting it, maybe you should listen to aztecs advice  :)

thanks swoop, i was trying to remember the name of the scheldte.

Well, I for one am greatly appreciative of the neighbor to the north. They have staunchly defended our stance in the world and have been the best neighbors we could have ever hoped for. Aside from the War of 1812 you have never heard of a border skirmish between us. How many contiguous European countries can say that about their closest neighbors?  ;)

Canada gave what she had in the big one. Don't forget about the production of war materials that originated from the Canucks.

YOu can try, but you'd probably end up like the cow. Opps sorry, cow carcus.  :D

Learn to read, avacado, I was talking about major World War 2 Operations which Canada never made any real contribution too.

I don't care what you say, many millions of people died in World War 2 but Canada didn;t even have conscription until nearly the end of the war. OH YEAH! BIG CONTRIBUTION!HAHAHA  :D

Fact remains, I'm talking as a European on a European conflict. In the European war, Europeans died and gave their life PREDOMINANTLY over every other nation. The only nation I consider worthy of any mention and gratitude is AMERICA. All the others we could have donw without thank-you very much. Polish pilots? Nope, we could have won the war wihtout em thanks. French resistance? Same thing. Canadians? Same thing. Drive through France one day will ya. Monuments to Brits and Americans. Where's the Canadian monuments? Nowehere! Same thing in Holland and just about everywhere else.
I'm entitled to my opinion, if you don;t like it, don't read it!

FDSS Uh I didnt say Rommel won Africa but if he woulda had the supplies he needed he woulda stomped Monty's pompus bellybutton all over the african contanent.  And Canadians where some of the first Volenteers in the merchant Marines sending supplies to the UK.  Its evident that U dont KNOW your history U just learned what U wanted to know and NOTHING more.  Not to mention FACT: Rommel won EVERY engagement vs the UK forces under Monty.  FACT: the Vatican signed a armastance with Germany to prevent damage to historical items.  FACT: Switzerland trains its military YEAR round for DEFENCE NEVER OFFENCE, if U understood the value of defence in a nation that chose NOT to be invovled in external conflict.  And every nation that the UK liberated was supported but US, and Commonwealth troops, hell the british forces where getting STOMPED in India by the Japanese Imperal Army.  Now that I have said what I am going to say I doubt I will respond to anything else U have to say cause there isnt a great deal facts behind it, not to mention U seem to be on the defensive about people saying your riddle sucked, I thought U just gave the wrong clues, it has to do with Aces High how does a COW have anything to do with Aces High, This IS A Off Topic discusion and I belive it should be moved there, if it was a Sheep it woulda at least been close to Aces High. :P
