Congrats to the economic migrant Mo Farah for winning Gold for his adopted country UK, where he doesn't live (USA) wasn't born (Somalia) and has been in UK as long as my Samsung Galaxy

Can someone tell me in plain kings English, exactly WHEN in UAE time is this friggin match between Germany and Brazil??

Well, the Wikipedia entry says he moved to England from Somaliland (formerly British Somalia) when he was eight - quite a few years before he began winning races. He was married in 2010 to a girl who I suppose is English, and has three children by her. I think he can be considered a genuine Brit, by now.

In no way is he a genuine Brit. Did his grandparents fight in WW1 or WW2? No. They were chilling by the beaches in Africa. He was only allowed to claim a British passport because his grandmother was a refugee and had his father born London. (I still dispute this). What your saying is, in current times if an Afghani refugee had a child born in the UK, then the next generation was born back in Afghanistan, the child would be British. Jog on. Lets give passports to everyone!!!

Anyway, outside of that congratulation on the double, one of the best Olympic athletes for sure. He's made his home country, Somalia proud.

It's getting boring now. But your SB is easier on the eye than Mo....

Well, this is a Forum full of expats. There are going to be some screwed-up nationalities in generations to come, by your rules! My son was born in Britain, to Australian parents who smuggled him in inside his mother just a few months before he came out to be registered. He has spent all his adult life outside England, but he claims to be British, the cheeky monkey, and actually speaks the lingo. His children are Norwegian, whose ancestors would have raped the priests of Lindisfarne or whatever went on up there at the time, yet they (the children) can claim British nationality some day, if they want and if you would allow. Admittedly Mo Farah doesn't have a British name like Farage or Portillo or Disraeli (to name but three random UK politicians past or present), or Battenberg/Mountbatten, but not all immigrants do.

Is Iggle a British name, even a British nickname? Are you a British person unto the seventh generation? (If so, well, hmm, all I can say, in my poshest accent, is "Well done old chap!")

iggle

No, Philadelphia slang name for the Eagles NFL football team. And Farage is French.

Igs, why do you have such a hard-on for Farah ?

Did one of your paid for friends call out his name while you were doing your 90 second shuffle ?
