    I am, why did you think otherwise? The comment about "Bulgarian savages" was a reference to the attitude of certain Southern Greeks towards their Northern compatriots (I am a Northerner). It demonstrates their hypocrisy. These are the riots I described above.

    Where does the border between the North and the South lie, if I may ask?

    Each one has his own criteria, but for me it's Mount Olympus. South of it, there is nothing but dark-skinned barbarians that don't even know how to use the word souvlaki correctly.

    I know you meant it in jest here Crandar, but I cannot help but feel saddened that after 5 millennia of 'civilization' we still group people based on something as irrelevant as skin tone.

    Oh man, PAOK president in international news! Last time was when he stormed in a match carrying a weapon. I'm so proud of him.

    As was mentioned above, those in Devon still view the vermin in Cornwall as a sub-race with their insane approach with cream and jam on scones. I view the Tamar river as demarcating the end of Civilisation.
