That would require my admitting to be Scottish, which would outweigh any potential upside from this situation.

Come on.....it's not like you are admitting to being Danish or Canadian

Speak not of the heathens. Everyone knows that the Scots are the most unhealthy people in Europe. They also have the highest population percentage of red hair in the world. As for the Welsh, a group of people in Wales recently got offended by a series of TV ads which they said portray all Welsh as 'Singing, mining simpletons'

quote:

Cornish people come from Cornwall, the part of England furthest SW. It is connected to Devon. It is the home of Cornish pasties (yum) and clotted cream. The pirates of Penzance lived there (maybe). There used to be a lot a tin mining in the county. They have their own flag and the county was named after a Royal Navy cruiser. I've run out of facts about Cornwall

One of these 'facts' was made up, guess which one

Link to a map of the Mongolian Empire, though I think this map is being a bit generous in its inclusion.

Good Thread...

There's something disturbing about the way he ate that fish.

Its actually a "she" (another thing I never knew about Faber). I remember seeing that on Animal Planet. This is in Hokkaido someplace. The penguin just came out of nowhere and the family kept her. Her name is Chichi or Chibi or something of that sort. What I liked most was the specially refrigirated closet where the young lady lives.

It was the last one, I haven't really run out of facts. I could quite easily make up some more...
**Or if I want to be sensible, it wasn't really named after a cruiser**

Cornwall is the red one
Devon is the blue one (where I was born)
Lincolnshire is the green one (where I lived most of my life)

Scotland and Wales have been cut from the map as they are not real countries anyway.

Actually, he has claimed to be an Emperor Penguin. There was another penguin described a while back as being "certifiably insane" on a website devoted to them, and speculation ran rife that faber was one of these. i don't recall the exact name of the penguin species, and when i run a search on "certifiably insane" + "penguin" i get too many hits...

Erm, assuming that Timogen = Temujin, then he WAS Genghis Khan. Temujin was his birthname.

Right you are. I felt something was off after my post so I went to look it up. Teujin did become Genghis Kahn. It was Tamerlane I was thinking of.

Or Timur Lenk, as he was otherwise known...

Whish actually means Timur the Lame IIRC

Actually I did know something of Cornwall. At least I did know it was an area of England. I did not realize that it was considered sort of culturally different. I mean we in the States know that all you Englanders were bollers and carry umbrellas everywhere.

It is sometimes thought of as part of the 'Celtic' nations

This I think I had heard before but forgotten.

I tried to learn Celtic once (Brown University had an online course for free). Ebonics made more sense to me.
