I'll stop bowing when you walk in the room then

Fuck !

No shit.

Hardly comparable, Kim kardashian or economic heavy weight, hmmm which is the better investment?

Didnt you have the chance to vote on becoming a republic?

I thought the Poms were the whinny ones.. you're doing a pretty good job.

Still about 20 billion in trade between the 2 counties, US is only 35.
If the British didn't buy all your fosters, you'd be stuck with it. :)

The British Royal Family are not merely German, they are Jews, Jews I tell you!!!

The horror.

What a cutup that Wilhelm was.

Yah but the Royals are all so BRITISH hoity-toity about it. "We're BRITISH and we're ROYALTY (better than you punters) and we're fucking RICH and we're BRITISH..."

No you aren't, you are GERMAN you bloody "Windsors".

Achtung baby!

The only Royal worth hitting! :thumbsup

So you turn to insukts for what reason?

Okay, so who you Americans are? Exactly? :) LOL.

I have relatives in US and Canada, and their parents or grandparents and so on weren't Americans when they moved in. But maybe they are now sooo... Americans.. soo Americans. Hallelujah, God bles America. :)

And damn those fucking fake British Windsors.

No insults there at all.
The country has the choice to have them or not. The British dont get that option. :)

royals rock

really? :error

so you guys have now decided that he is American after all? birth certificate or not?

Glad you are finally seeing things my way. :D


Yup. You can start in 1066 with William the Bloody Conquerer if you want tho some would say Rome long before then. Then there's the French (the Royal language of the Court was not English but bloody FRENCH for a couple hundred years). Then there are those pesky Vikings...

Being a country of immigrants there's bound to be a bureaucratic glitch here or there.
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So I continued reading about the British royal family - it's incredible how many lunatics attempted to assassinate ol' Queen Victoria.

okay, so after 1066, how many times was England successfully invaded?

Once is enough bro. LOL

"Invaded" is one thing, 'conquered' is another. You can be conquered without firing a shot. How did the FRENCH impose THEIR language on the ENGLISH court for 200+ years?

Then we have all the "in-fighting" like the War of the Roses, the Scottish rebellion (Braveheart), the irish rebellions, on and on (and let's not even bring up those capitulating WELSH fuckers).

Just saying that "England" is an amalgamation of Roman, French, Norsemen (Vikings), Celts, Druids, Germans and God knows who else, all mixing together to form "Britain". That's why you have blond Brits and redheaded Brits and black-haired Brits and so on. it is NOT one clear line of succession to form some British dynasty. All of which is fine IF today's current Britons didn't get all mushy-faced over "royalty" that isn't even from their own bloody country.

Just sayin'. LOL

So your original point was wrong? England has not been conquered many times.


LOL, you cannot even distinguish the difference between Britain and England!

And while we are talking about your fail, you do realise that the French, Norse, Celts (not that they ever existed as Celts anyway) and Germans were all branches of the same root tribe?
The Druids were an indigenous religious order - not an invading tribe!
Read up on the real Braveheart and you'll see that it was mainly a scot on scot fight, not what Hollywood tells you is history.
The French imposed their language on the English court? LOL! You have failed on every single point you tried to make!

Your post was very funny indeed. Gave me a right chuckle.

Britain has been conquered some times and for other times part of it, and it has had impact to it's population. Also Britains own rule has made the population more diverse (in Britain), most notably regarding Indians. Although probably not a single time in a scale as Britain is today, not to speak of when it had India and so on.

OK, let's put aside the fact that an AMERICAN knows more about BRITISH history than a Brit.....England was 'conquered' MANY times (I did not say "invaded many times"). Rome, the Celts and Vikings all 'conquered' (invaded) before 1066, and after 1066 the landscape of England changed dramatically in the ways I mentioned before.

(And do your research about how FRENCH was the official language of the BRITISH Roayl court for over 200 years).

And whether this or that ethnicity were part of an original 'root tribe' is meaningless. Vikings and Germans and French and so on, who cares if they shared similar origins? They came to England from different lands, settled there, meshed with the local population, and the entire bloody island morphed into what we have today.

All fine well and good, history is an interesting melting pot. What this thread is about TODAY is how Brits go apeshit over their Royals, who are clearly from Germanic descent and had to change their bloody name to a made-up 'Windsor' so the British population wouldn't revolt against them during WWI while they were fighting their German cousins.

It's all fucking funny to me, that's all. Blah blah.

This search is more interesting.

Jews have always been frustrated with blue bloods around the world. Its the economic war we face now. Battle of jewish bankers vs the blue blood old money.

Kate's mum was a cocktail waitress on airplanes. Impressive.

Blue bloods will always win. Not just the English but the collective group. The English indeed are a sorry lot. Pedophiles and tampon sniffing pervs. lol. That is what Charles wrote to his current wife isn't it?

Thank God Charles's sons take after their mum.

How exactly did either the Celts or the Vikings conquer Britain or even England?
I never said that French wasn't the official language of the English court (which it was) but at no time did the French impose this language which is what you said. And yet again, you STILL cannot understand the difference between England and Britain!

The Brits do not go "mad" for the royals, I don't understand where you get that from but yes, many of us are protective of them but its nothing like the cult of celebrity you guys have over there. And look up the houses of European royals and you'll see that they are all interconnected so there is little point in harping on about them being German, Queen Elizabeth has family ties with previous houses too.

Keep going, your American understanding of British history is hysterical!

Won't being a king count?

"Sweyn I Forkbeard (Old Norse: Sveinn Tjúguskegg; d. 3 February 1014) was king of Denmark and England, as well as parts of Norway. His name appears as Swegen in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.[1] He was the son of King Harald Bluetooth of Denmark. He was the father of Cnut the Great.

In the mid 980s, he revolted against his father and seized the throne. Harald was driven into exile and died shortly afterwards in November 986 or 987.[2] In 1000, with allegiance of the Trondejarl, Eric of Lade, he was ruler over most of Norway. After a long effort at conquest and shortly before his death, he became, in 1013, the first of the Danish Kings of England."

There are other vikings too.

Please stop using wikipedia to win arguments. My poor dead cat can edit wikipedia.

Use this.

My family, and I mean my DIRECT family line is in it. Is yours? :1orglaugh - We are Norse-Norman-Irish so we don't really "count" though.

Rogue is right. The royal houses are all connected. It was done purposefully for economical reasons and with the hope to make alliances between neighboring countries. Not all that successful but not all that of a failure.

OK I will keep going:

William the Conquerer came from.....class? Brittany. Which is where, exactly? Class? FRANCE. (OK, to be fair, he REALLY came from his Viking heritage, who settled Brittany and other parts of coastal France a few hundred years earlier but I will leave the nit-picking to the Brits).

England or Britain? Hmmm....who bloody cares. it's all the same fooking ISLAND yo. LOL

And if the French did not impose their language onto the British Royal court then HOW did they adopt it? Because Brits love all things French so much?

And of course all the Royal Houses are interbred and interconnected. It's what we Americans hate so much about Royalty to begin with (so un-Democratic and snooty, thinking they are better than everyone else and therefore can only inter-breed, thereby producing jugheaded freaks like Prince Charles). This doesn't change the embarrassing FACT that they (the British Royals) had to change their GERMAN surname during WWI. How droll!

Game. Set. Match. Cheers!

Wikipedia has been studied to be very reliable source of information, and I am not now referring to some wikipedia article. And do you deny the information I gave? Did your dead cat edit that page to add a king or two?

About alliances and such, I already said that before, when that one guy talked about Germans ruling Britain. I don't know how that makes the Rogue right regarding that "conquest" stuff.

Heil Britannia!!

Nein, mein führer ist Von Klonkendorf. Heil Von Klonkendorf, langlebigkeit für dich.

LOL Eich mein dumpkoff. Haha!!

LOL, you cannot even grasp the most basic facts!
You think that the druids (!!!), Celts and Vikings conquered England, you think that the French imposed their language on the English royal court!!! You change your argument all the time (Even the youngest school child knows that the royal family changed their name during world war one) but worst of all, you fail to understand the most basic part of the argument that Britain and England are NOT THE SAME THING! you honestly think you have "Game. Set. Match." when even the most fundamental part of your flawed argument is totally and utterly wrong - England is not an island, Britain is but England is NOT!

There is no point arguing with someone who cannot grasp the basics so I'm out.

Ah but you fail Sir - to explain the difference between 'England" and "Britain" or "Great Britain" or "UK".

(LOL I DO understand the differences mate - when you bring Scotland, Ireland and even Whales into it all the names change around. But we're still talking about, you know, Merry Ol' whatever.)

Yeah, and if Vikings didn't take parts of England/Britain than how did y'all get all those Viking town names scattered throughout your lovely countryside? And you still haven't explained how FRENCH became the official language of the BRITISH (English whatever) Court. That must still sting after all these years, oui? :D

were all branches of the same root tribe?


oops , your fascism is showing.

Sorry, I suspected you might know, but this is GFY, you're probably a small minority... :)

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are countries in their own right.
England, Scotland and Wales make up Great Britain.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom.
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern and Southern Ireland make up the British Isles.


French was used in the English courts for a few centuries as it was seen as a "high class" language, a kind of snobbery. in no way was it ever imposed upon them by the French which is what you argued.

Yes, Vikings did settle in parts of Northern England but in no way did they conquer any of it, it was a peaceful settlement. the Vikings that raided the costal towns raided then left - it was just that , a raid.
I think your problem is that you don't understand the meaning of the word "conquer".

Oh god, the idiot is here. I really should put you on ignore like everyone else does.
Either you actually really do believe what you type, in which case I feel sorry for you (walking and chewing gum at the same time must be a big ambition for you). Or you are a very inept troll.

the Vikings that raided the costal towns raided (and drove off the natives) then

Vikings did settle in parts of Northern England =- conquered

You almost had it....

Lol...
 

I love Dumb Americans... you obviously know shit about History... Your talking about George of Hanover, who if you knew anything would know he was more English/Scottish than he was German :/ He was a great grand-son of King James I...

And you say your American ? What like a Native American ? Otherwise your nothing but a mongrel... with some sort of foreign blood in your linage... maybe even English, how shit would that be :Oh crap

Ps
 

All Americans are FAT and drive SUV's

There ya go!! :) Thank you for the breakdown of the various variations on 'England/Britain/UK' etc. Kind of proves my point about the Brits being 'nit picky' tho eh? LOL

(And you are wrong about the Vikings mate. Raids yes but also = conquer. The "problem", really, is for many centuries "England" was a 'work in progress' if you will; meaning there were many shiftings and alliances and wars and battles to secure that Island. So until the population stabilized it was a patchwork of mini-kingdoms, fealties etc. So there wasn't really a unified 'Kingdom" to "conquer" in the traditional sense. So, PARTS of England were conquered along the way is my point.)


Regardless of which particular despot - I mean, KING - I am "talking about" the POINT is still the same. Plus, being American, I never claimed to be of pure blood, and certainly not blue. However, I also do not pretend that my Royal Family are British when in fact they are GERMAN.

Heil Windsor!

Lol...
 

They have German Blood yes... about 3% is you look at the Linage... hardly makes them GERMAN... :disgust

Combine that 3% with their German surname and it is enough for me.

We all know how the Brits hate to be embarrassed, always so demure and repressed.
1917 must've been a real sticky wicket eh?

Heil Windsor!!

Do you still think Vikings wore hats with horns on too?

Oh and if settling in English towns makes Vikings conquers then all those Asians and Africans doing the same in many British towns are conquers too? No?

Yes, 3% German blood makes a person German.

Added to your similar stupid ramblings on football that you showed during Wold cup I think that you may be just stupid and not a troll.

I see, you are one of those people who hate to learn something even though it was crucial to the argument you was failing to get across.

yes, that's true (almost every country is built up this way) but when it was a patchwork of little kingdoms, it wasn't England was it? so lets get back to what you originally said, tell us just how many times was England conquered. you claim it was many times.

Or maybe I am just fucking around. :D

(But my stance on the World Cup, shared by most Americans, is 100% accurate and truthful. Kick, pass, pass, kick....pass, pass, pass.....pass, pass, kick....SHOOT! Nope, out-of-bounds so let's kick the bloody ball around mid-field for another twenty minutes. Very exciting stuff. And isn't it 'futbol'?)


Immigration is not the same as arriving on ships with weapons, kicking the shit out of every weenie English pussy they encountered (and who could not get them to LEAVE), settling their Viking asses down and STAYING, naming every town after some Norse this or that and introducing many words into the 'English' language like 'thing'. Not the same THING as immigrants moving into a town now is it? :D

Who's ignoring embarrassing facts now eh? LOL So, to play into the nit-picky nature of your ilk I will adjust and say this: 'England' (notice the quotes) or whatever the bloody hell it was called during this time period or that, was CONQUERED by many peoples (Rome, Vikings, bloody William, etc) ON ITS WAY to becoming England. So I stand by what I said, little kingdoms or not. The bloody island isn't that fucking BIG yo, it's not like the US or Europe in size. Jeez Louise.

Let's just say the ISLAND was conquered many times. I know this hurts you very deeply to admit this, being the (former) British Empire and the sun never setting, etc etc. But hey, you still have The Falklands, don't you? :D

Knock Knock,

Hi we are the Vikings, we just moved in next door. Could we borrow some sugar?

Were not you the gang that raided us last year, burnt our house, raped my wife and killed my son.

My bad, but we have settled down now.

OK I'll just get that sugar for you.


England, never invaded, one race under God until them bloody imigrants came ere.
