Pink Freud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 By the same token, he's dismissed other identities (European - tosh, doesn't exist, Scottish - chippy and parochial) that don't match his own. He's got more than enough previous on this. No, no. I've dismissed YOU as chippy and parochial. Not Scots- I am one, am proud of it and don't need to look for the constant slights you see everywhere. But Ill give you your comments re European identity. I don't believe it exists outside the minds of tenured academics and iconoclasts. Iceland don't "hate" us, where did you get that idea? However, they do seem to think that we hate them, as I said previously, their end of year satirical round up had two mentions of "I hate Iceland", both that youtube video doing the rounds, and a big kilt wearing Scotsman smacking an Icelandic fisherman about. Of course, with you being a passionate Unionist, I wouldn't expect you to have any comprehension over what goes on outside the borders of royal britannia.

Pink Freud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Sorry, struggling to post on a mobile. But am I to understand that you are speaking on behalf of the Icelandic nation on the basis of a couple of YouTube clips, and some conversations in Rekjavic over new year?

You are forgetting the conclusive evidence of... a satirical news show. Presumably anything said on "Have I Got News For You" now constitutes the mood of a nation! Hope Paul Merton's been told...

Pink Freud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yep. Never mind the fact that before Xbl visited, no one with a British identity had ever even SPOKEN to Juhnny Icelander. It's getting beyond funny now. This one eyed dogmatism from Xbl would be offensive were it not so smug and intellectually bankrupt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't even know it was a country until informed on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Freud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Shhhh. Keep it down. I'm on a train just going into Newcastle, and it's packed with English baseb Scots. The mere hint that were having this conversation may just inflame the anti Icelandic contingent. Who knows what might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 There was a guy in my street with a Fair Isle jumper attacked the other week by an angry mob. I used to go to Iceland, the shop, for some cheap cans of cola, but in view of the hate mobs prowling, I just won't run the risk of being seen with one of the carrier bags. You can't be too careful.

roverthemoon Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 As a Unionist don't pretend you know where Iceland is. So now do we have Unionist pretending to know Iceland exists and Nationalists post arc of prosperity pretending it doesn't exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 So now do we have Unionist pretending to know Iceland exists and Nationalists post arc of prosperity pretending it doesn't exist? Maybe if their big volcano goes wooft! then it really won't exist. I hope it does then we can have all their fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh Can the English team not come out to "Ode to Joy" then the Scottish, non-British, Europeans can support them too? Or do they need to wield golf clubs and carry European lottery tickets?

ICTChris Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It's funny thinking of Pink Freud and xbl both frantically mashing the keypads of their phones trying to outwit each other in this titanic battle for supremacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Freud Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah, mock if you will, but when he stands in Holyrood, clad all in black with a saltire armband and his long tres emeed hair wafting in the air conditioning, just remember, first he came for the expats, and I did nothing...
