Never said she was right.;)

She has Basque in her Grandparents, thats about it.

Anybody know how you measure Nationality, as my family is from England, Holland, Ireland so far as the tree can be traced.

So am I Welsh for being born in Wales or don`t I belong anywhere.:confused:

My OH says she`s Basque, but she has Andaluz parents.

Does that make her Basque as she was born there and lived there or is she Andaluz because her parents are ?

Are you Iranian because you were born there or are you say English because your mother may have been or are you Scottish because your father may have been ?

My family are a mix of Scottish and Lancastrian, with no end of mixes included, the only no mongrel part being the Scottish, and we have protestant, catholic and Jewish just adding to the confusion.

Do I think I am Iranian? No, it was a comment to something you said about your wife Lee.


As I have always said, Iranian by the grace of birth, British by the grace of god.

Thats where Spanish culture differs slightly, very few Basque born, Catalan born, Galicians would admit to being Spanish.

Never call a person from Bilbao and named Aitor Spanish.:rofl:

You talk like I have never been to Spain.................how sweet that you think you are the font of all Spanish knowledge.



They are idiots and we both know that, they are Spanish, Europe classes them as Spanish and the sooner the ingrates accept it the sooner the country moves on.

Sorry, I`m not really taking too you, just imagine we`re in a room full of people and I`m disscusing a subject about you to the rest of the room.

This might be where you got me wrong, I`m not trying to talk down too you at all.

Maybe this is why people here seem to be a bit pissy here, i just assumed they knew this was the net and hundreds are reading this that may not have much of a clue about Spain.

I tend to be a bit dissconnected on the net, I`m sorry but I really arn`t interested in other people on the net, real world ofcourse, but here I`m not crying if anybody drops dead.

You no how big the net is were not in a room alone, the reference was to everybody out there.

Hi people.

By the way, did you know Lee has a Spanish wife, you should ask him about her occasionally, he is a little shy about mentioning her but with a little encouragement he will.

You keep saying that. You have an issue with people not taking notice of you don't ya?


Read the posts again, then, when you have realised what I was replying to, think a bit then post a reply.

Nope you can`t make me.

Your way of dealing with people is so dull, must be why you got so many post to your name.:D

20,000 post and you say I have issue with being noticed and you openly admit people hate you ,and you were called Ignorant how many times yesterday and yet you still persist in thinking everybody else is at fault.

That so funny, the best I`ve heard in a long time.

Mitzyboy Jan 6th 2008 8:28 am

Re: The Anti- Spain thread.
 
I dont know if you actually think people enjoy reading this. I really dont understand the point to the thread and its serving no useful purpose.

Please dont spread the arguements through other threads also

This one is closed as it more or less has ended as I thought it would in the beginning
