I am Irish descendant on my fathers side now boo me at your peril, other side of the family is mostly Irish and English origin who came over during the Norman conquest of England. Somehow after moving to England they moved to Ireland later on. Then i guess some of them moved to Scotland or other places.

well i'm sure some of you presume frenchies are posh?? because of the way they act and how they talk?

nope i know the situation in France a lot of immigrants and a lot of normal folk like us who live in flats ect and do things like go to coffee houses and such

family guy when peter tries to speak Italian becasue he has a moustache wasn't funny becasue he was taking the piss out of Italians but becasue he made himself look like a right tool :roll:

south park stereotypes are much worse they have slowed it down tho having less of them

family guy isnt really like south park tho, south park has swearing and violence
family guy is more like a mature futurama or simpsons

but chicks dig tall guys *flex*

hahaha you reminded me of a guy who was a giant and he went out with a really small girl, i cant guess height for her but he was pretty big maybe like 6,3

3/4 English, 1/8 Welsh (I'm not of the sheepshagging variety of welshman though) and possibly 1/8 scottish or german (apparently my grandfather was actually adopted and he lived in germany but came to boarding school here).

which brings me to a random thing a i watched last night on you tube - a comedian was talking about origins, & said something along the lines of "I come from Wales - but they kicked me out by the age of 10 because i couldnt do the accent" - I dunno what was so funny about but the crowd was in tears.

You ever heard a properly broad welsh accent? It sounds better than geordie but a whole lot worse than a broad scottish accent (this is judging by the CTT on summer camp who were all from Dundee/ Aberdeen sort of areas, the rest of the scotsmen I know have lived in Newcastle so long the accent's going a bit).

You what? Are you trying to say you like the scouse accent? Did you just smack your head or something? Jokes, I only dislike the scouse accent because it's bloody infectious, two lasses were on the same 5 day course as me and they both had scouse accents, out of 18 people attending the course 16 left with scouse accents, the other two were far too posh for that.

I love accents too. Ive got a soft spot for ladies with accents. its better then the usual brit crap we get - but then saying that, most 'foreigners' In this country would prefer to mingle & socialise with people from their own race/country instead UNLESS they're hookers, strippers or escorts - etc or at least thats one thing ive noticed... Oh & I also forgot to add....they also only want to talk to you if their seeking asylum -cuz once their in & they find out where the nearest turkish, asian, or jewish areas are - you wont see them again.... not that i have anything against these people. but they dont make an effort to 'fit in' so to speak. they come here begging to stay then they go hide themselves in a box for the rest of their life. Hello! this is Britain, we speak ENGLISH here, do you speak E N G L I S H ???

the glaswegian accent is awesome some people play it down a bit depending where they live tho i tend to talk all right tho as it can get a bit heavy and people are like WTF?
ayrshire is a funny one!

all those that say spic for sink are just wrong, "ye ken wee man" no just shut up mate, KEN? WTF! why say "you know what i mean" KEN
another glasgow favourite is "wit ye talkin aboot!"

man and mate are virtually what you say to people who's names you dont know, for old people its son basically the universal thing for old people to say

scouse is like "aw right there big chap"
oh man you need to see this video of a scouse fireman sam "whats the fookin naught to sixtey on the lad?"
