But the Italians were invaded by the Greeks prior to the Roman Empire.

Perhaps, but given the reputation of the Greeks I very much doubt there was any mixing of bodily fluids between members of the OPPOSITE sex.

That doesnt actually mean the Romans were Greeks.

Besides, if you look at British history from the time of the frist invasions up until the last one in 1066.....we've got Norman (French) blood, Saxon (German) blood, Viking blood, Roman blood and a whole blood bank load of Celtic type AB negative. The real natives of this Island (The Ancient Britons) don't actually exist in any significant numbers anymore.......

U .. u ... u are a liar nifty, I dont believe u. I've read many mean threads where people say ... sniff... that they ...sniffff..... wont buy lecker bratwurst anymore

Nifty · « **Reply #21 on:** May 13, 2003, 12:08:17 PM »

you're right! I didn't buy brats at the store yesterday. It was more cuz I didn't want them in general, not cuz they're German in origin.

Next time I go to the store, I promise I'll get brats and some German potato salad.

I might even get some sauerkraut too. hmm, or I'll just make some wienerschnitzel.

oh wait, that's Austrian, isn't it?

However... I saw two Porsche Boxters in a matter of 5 minutes of driving time tho actually about 45 minutes apart as one was right before I got to the store and the other was after. They were different ones for sure, one was black, the other was silver. So Americans are still driving their Porsches!

Love the Brits!! Funny though, I rarely sense that the feeling is reciprocated.

Swoop · « **Reply #24 on:** May 13, 2003, 01:19:42 PM »

That's just cos Brits aren't all lovey dovey touchy feely poofters like you Yanks are.

(except Dowding but he's a special case)

Brits show our affection for others by piss taking and friendly insults. If we stop taking the piss outta you then you've really upset us somehow.

Translated for Steve:

"We're still a stuffy lot, not much changes in thousands of years" "

(Naturally kidding, we have a few Brits on our squad, love em all! ~~~~~Smoooooooch~~~~~~~~~~)

Actually the Normans were a viking colony that "settled" on the coast of France. They only stayed there for about 100 years before moving to england . And they never really mixed with the francs .
