The West Germanic tribes and the Northern Dutch I agree with. The Romans - no way. English is NOT based on Latin. And the Normans added their French (despite the fact that they were Vikings) later on. Which is why we have so many words essentially meaning the same thing beef and cow, begin and commence, etc.

Yes, of course. There is absolutely no correlation or roots between Latin and English.
None whatsoever.

One little-bitty question though: Are you high?

There are some good ones. 4 Weddings and a Funeral for instance.
Fruity Chick Flick.

Fruity chick flick! No way! It's f***ing great as Hugh Grant might say. Full of wit, pathos, double entendre and general Englishness.

It's two full hours of Hugh Grant's charmingly befuddled enormous Horse-Teeth I tell you.

Was that last bit English?

Oh, yes! Real, proper English like what is spoken on these shores, don't you know old chap, old bean. Pass the port, there's a good fellow.

Indeed, Old Flippety Gibbet!

Only the French could make something called the 2CV and call it a car. German cars are good, but exceedingly expensive. Vorsprung durch technik as they say.


farfegnugen and Le Car.
Enough said.


We only watch those shows when we are trying to impress people.
Look! Everyone! I'm watching the BBC! I'm cultured I tell you!

Well, yes. If you watch the BBC you are!


Your crushing grip of logic on this one makes me shiver with rage.
