English?

[macsen rufus]

Speaking as an Englishman (TM) (I NEVER call myself "British"...) I hold the view that if you're born here and live here and know how to spell "colour", then you're English. I don't distinguish on your ethnicity - you can be English if your parents were Indian, Jamaican, French, whatever. Anyone claiming to be "indigenous" here always gets laughed at by me... would that be indigenous Saxon, indigenous Norman, indigenous Celt, etc etc. To be English is to be a mongrel, pure and simple

I truly thank you for that one!

I spell properly, but I wasn't born there and I don't live there. What does that make me? Canadian?

[Samurai Waki]

Only if you love the fresh pine smell of the forests, and the taste of real maple syrup will you ever be considered Canadian... eh, wait a second...?

[PBI]

Knowing how to spell "colour" means you aren't American, which is all you really need to know.

Anyway,

Your handlebar moustache:
a) Makes you look ridiculous.
b) is more important than your career.

@Tribes, I have yet to aquire a German husband...
Any suggestions?

Yes Move to Iran , tell them you think you like men they diagnose you as sick and give you an operation on the social health and say you are a woman , then you are now able to get a german husband .

[GoreBag]

You wouldn't want to be English anyway.

To be English is to have won the lottery of life. The English gentleman is the pinnacle of evolution

We've always known the French think this, (what else could have explained De Gaulle's chippyness?) but I must say, its jolly refreshing to see they can bring themselves to say it.

Another qu for your Am I English quiz:

Spotted Dick is?

a) More or less inevitable after two weeks on holiday in Faleriki
b) nice with custard

And a completely infallable test: if someone treads on your toe, do YOU apologise?
