    If I were British, I would tell the Welsh in the nicest possible way that they can all go llynwannfrthwythgogh themselves.
    Do you even know any Frisians personally?

    You see, this is what you get for using those quaint, outdated minority languages - confusion.

    In the only language that matters, English, Frisians are black and white cows.

    I could get started on the Irish plan to make all Irishmen speak Gaelic - which pretty much everyone forgets after school, except for Tribeman's neck of the woods. But I won't.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
