Your brethren disagree with your isolation of English in this matter Bratty. A quote taken directly from The Scots Language Centre from a paper written by Dr Sheila Douglas who is a former member of the SLRC's Council. clicky  We all have a Germanic route.

I think my genetic father was of Norwegian descent. I'm about as Viking as those 4th generation Americans who claim to be Scottish and wear kilts.

 |  |  |  | Quote: THE MODERN nations that consider themselves to be Celtic are not actually anything to do with the "true Celts" who once dominated Iron Age Europe, according to anthropological research.
The Welsh, Irish and other peoples who regard themselves as Celtic cousins are in fact ancient Bretons who include the original English peoples.
Being Celtic is not about blood, tribes and red hair; nor is it about loving folk music and believing in the little people.
In a landmark special to be broadcast tonight, anthropologist Richard Rudgley, who comes from London, aims to separate myth from fact as he reveals the Celtic world.
Chris Malone, producer for Granada TV, joined him on the journey tracing the Celtic tradition across the world and said that it actually originated with the "true Celts" of central Europe.
Mr Malone said, "It is assumed that the Celts are the people who speak a 'Celtic' language like the Scots and Welsh.
"These are the peoples who were pushed to the fringes after the Roman invasion. People also think about the Celtic crosses, and about the whole pagan druid thing.
"But those are all the cliches. When the Romans arrived in Britain, they never described the people as Celts.
"The 'true Celts' were the continental Celts, although they spread across Europe." |  |  |  |  |

Just watched GI Joe - it's surprisingly tolerable Just one thing to add. I wish movie directors would stop including that scene where a team of people walk towards the camera in a horizontal line in slow motion - it's been done by fcuking EVERYONE, stop it!

I was just browsing Amazon for SD cards and it suggests some Durex condoms. Intruiging on its own, £8 for 36, but apparently you can buy 'used and new' ones for £2 cheaper! Bargain!

Love the Playstation Store - the amount of games that you can demo and find out they wouldn't even be worth a fiver is actually very helpful
