Cornwall isn't part of England? ummm k!? I did note you say in your persoanl definition. I therfore assume in your world your not an idjiot

On a different note, im from South Yorkshire and often asked , by the kiwi's, which part of Scotland or Ireland i'm from. From now on my response will be
"in my world i'm not an idjiot"

Only the English think it's part of England.

However, to the Cornish, the English will always be "them furriners" who are prepared to pay good money for fine French Brandy and aren't too particular about where it came from or whether the excise tax has been paid...

(Excuse me while I stick my straw back in my mouth)
Arrrrhhh!

don't forget the vikings with all their raping and pilage, they must have polluted the gene pool somewhat and had a significant infulance on the culture.

In deference to another thread yesterday this is a fact (not a factoid and certainly not a "fact")

Viking is not actually a name for a people, but the verb for the activity they performed ie all that rape and pillage etc.

Anyhoo, those people generally called Danes left a huge mark on the land and the language. They very nearly supplanted the Anglo-Saxons but we and our language were saved by Alfred the Great.

Poms support English sports teams when they play Australia. I doubt Irishmen do. What say the real Irishmen?

There's a flaw in that argument Zooter. My Father in Law still operates on the "I support two teams, NZ and anyone playing Australia" principle, even when it comes to England.

I take it your fatherinlaw calls himself a Kiwi? He'd be a real exception on that one. I consider "except for the Poms" to be an unwritten bit of fine print to the "two teams" rule.

Speaking as one who originally hails from the scred shores of the emerald isle, I might be able to pour some light on this one.
Ahem, right if you are talking about rugby in the above example, then about 5% of the nation will care, leaving the other 98% to watch the premiership soccer!

Rugby is not a big game in Ireland, at least compared to here or aussie, pesonally speaking I couldn't give a toss who wins in this particular pair up.
Now if you think rugby has a poor following then don't even think about cricket, here is a game that every Irish person is genetically predisposed to hate and ultimately not understand, I didn't even know we had a national team until a couple of years ago - by all accounts they are shite!

Now football is a different matter, that has taken over as the main sport and is as wide spread as rugby is here. So in the aussie V england match, we would be looking for as many injuries and red cards on both sides as possible, mind you the chances of aussies pulling out a win are remote.

To be honest because Austrailia and England have been responsible for knock Ireland out of several world championships (rugby, fooball) they are both hated for their dream-ending abilities

So don't even get me started on Gaelic football and Hurling, a couple of fast games with hard as nails play, everyone I know has scars on them from those games - thats what being hit on the back of the head with a solid lump of Ash bound with metal strips will give ya.

A "Coaster" first and "Kiwi" second....but I don't think it's that much of an exception. It's a reasonably even split on the rugby, but I don't know a single Kiwi who wasn't happy about us taking the Ashes back.

The Irish sports assoc that runs these games has/had a clause in their constitution expelling anyone who attended an "English" game (ie rugby or soccer)...there's a story (true or myth I don't know) that the Cheif Exec of the association was expelled for attending an Irish international soccer match in his official capacity....you've just gotta love the logic of the Irish!
