You said a mouthful there. Personally I can do without a national English holiday named after a Maltese Knight. :P But when it comes down to it the reason we cant celebrate "Englishness" in England because we might offend immigrants then the whole country has turned into a mess. Mind what would we do to celebrate that day? Usually as has been pointed out its another booze day. Be nice if it was something a little more unique.

And on the subject of politcal correctness.

Yeah Ill back you up as well buddy. That is a total act of hypocrisy of what this thread is about. I kind of half expected something like this where the company says one thing for PR sake but doesnt back it.

Hmm first of all Britain is a group of small countries each with their own identities and culture. Rivalries are quite prolific. Ask A Scot if he enjoyed the recent Engalnd football game and is he pleased they won you may well find out. But in seriousness its a broad brush to paint calling us all Brits the way alot of transatlantics do. Yeah its lots easier than saying English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish, and usuallly no harm is meant. But sometimes I get this energy from statemtents using it as being dismissive and forgetful of the divrity we have here.

And secondly most of us dont go to these public schools. We go to state run schools which while not havong the odd weird contests our toffs go to. Unfortunately these same toffs end up getting cushy jos in business and government. So in effect we are run by people who are absoloutely nothing like the majority of the population. So if by saying we are the way we are you mena disillusioned by politics and business then yes you may be right. These people tend to think they have a place above us and have special priveledges by birthright and dont like it when we tell them otherwise. The recent expenses scandal is yet another classic example of this.

Other wise I think you just made a generalised sterotypical comment that is as ill fitting and inacurate as having a crusty old black guy in movies picking cotton and saying "Lordy, lordy, lordy... boss" while performing menial tasks for his white master. That mostly went out thankfully but its still for some reason seen as ok or seen as a favour to us here in the UK to throw in some Sterotype of an uppercrust snob or a cockney. I recently had this conversation on another forum I use oddly enough. In my county alone there are numoerous accents and one guy from Yorkshire will sound very different to myself and Coin over here in East Yorskshire... yet its hard to beleive because the distance is relatively short.

Now I know I came across as a little serious there and to be honest I know usually no harm is meant as I said. But it does seem this is the thread to bring these things up in especially after GGs comment. Again I know you meant no harm GG so no worries but I saw the oppertunity for a little educational notice.

To be honest the smell alone turns my stomach. But I am the same with alot of yeasty things. Even mushrooms are repugnent to me. The smell of vinegar is very unpleasent to me too.

Id like to think you could get that with any SG or at least find a gaming group that can offer this. Most of the groups I have been in are this way.

Honestly I have never heard that term fagging in reference to a social order in British Society at all. Has ny other of my fellown countrymen and women here?

Ah you still playing eh? Nice to see you. Hope alls well. Havent seen you about in any of the other SG forums so I did wonder if you still played.

Had a few temptations to come back but decided not to bother until now. Even then was a spare of the moment decision to join some of my Watchfire friends on the NA servers. So I still cant play with you guys ingame even though Im back ... albeit very breifly at that.

Interesting point GG. But thing is it was a rhetorical question. Seems unlikely that I will reacitvate that account anyway unless my immediate plans go awry. If all does happen as I hope then I wouldnt expect this to be a very long stay either.

ROFL

Yes well as you say. Could be a squirrel could be mouse who knows?

There was this thread in the Age of Conan forums where you were asked to type your name or some info with your chin. Managed to migrate over to The Secret World forums too.

Pretty much what I was thinking and really is the some and total of anything I have to say on it. Hence I just quoted this.

How would you know it was a squirrel?

Yep tis I.

Teamed with you with a few alts too. My old Empath Jack Kerrigan, and my old troller I never finished Beguile. In fact was on my troller you helped me finish Hollows and I meant to get you in an the Cavern of Transcendance but you wernt online when we did it. (I have a good memory, sometimes a blessing, sometimes a curse).

See now thats fair. Still... what to do if both accounts are me? Now there is a conundrum.

/Seconded

Especially about Marmite. And err eating Marmite and Jammie Dodgers together. Yuk

Hehe yeah in more ways than one. Ever been to an MMOs prelaunch forums in last few years? I think I have read "WoW" more times than any other word in the English language.

Blizzard have a lot to answer for.

Wouldnt do you any good. I had to add a number to the end of my US account as you can see. What gets me is the way its seems to have been assumed US first then EU second. I mean shouldnt it go to whoever has the ealriest date? Or has it? Its hard to tell.

When I saw the server merge thing this is exactly what I thought of. The contentious language filter both in game and forums.
