A truer word has never been said. Whereabouts in Scotland are you from?

You can't trick me that easily, serial murderer!

Blast, my plans have been foiled. Our country isn't that small though, I merely wished to know what province.

But the question is Hellhound; are you "Swedish Finnish" or Finnish Finnish?

You say there as if there is anything but Swedish Finns other than Swedish Finns in denial :P

We'd better be careful in responding to that, there might be a fair bit of backdraft from that all burn.

They'll learn their place when the Finno-Danish-Norwegian alliance takes over Sweden and puts them to work in the mines. The Swedes, that is. The Finno-Swedes are fine, if a bit shifty. We'll make them wear some kind of symbol so we can keep an eye on them. I'm thinking of something yellow, for Sweden's colors - yeah, let's make them all wear yellow stars. That's never gone wrong in the past.

Ah, East Coast. I am a teuchter myself from the mountains of Perthshire.

It is indeed, I live in a very remote part of it as well (the nearest town is 15 miles away or so) so it sometimes feels like you have a whole glen to yourself. The ski slopes are close by too, not that I indulge in such thrill-seeking. It's a real bugger when you need to go shopping though.

I wouldn't have said that Lothian was so crappy personally but I have not experienced much of that realm. Though I am practically an East-Coaster myself I still remain in orbit around Glasgow.

Brit tanks come with a kettle installed for brewing tea within the tank. Just thought everyone should know that.

Pnx

It's a sensible idea, you don't want to have to get out of the tank to get yourself a cup of tea.

I found out today that my genetic markers identify me as a Pretani person, specifically R1B S145. Until now there was some uncertainty, now there is little doubt. Furthermore the people I have most in common with are people from Munster in Southern Ireland and Wales. My particular subgroup of S145 still hasn't been identified yet, which annoys me, but it is most likely Strathclyde Briton as they are the last subgroup on the list to be identified.

That basically makes me a Glaswegian aborigine.

Can't really celebrate NZ, the idiots running it are making it more capitalist by the month.
And also, banning the name "Lucifer" sounds like religion manipulating government to me.

Plus, racism and cultural property issues still exist. Cultural property issues because the Maori have a weird idea of how trading works, and so they sold New Zealand in the eyes of the colonizers, though in the eyes of the Maori it was a loan or something.
Well, better start learning Swedish!

New Zealanders complaining about New Zealand? Cripes, y'all were on my best-off nations list; the only thing holding you back from world domination is nobody taking your accents seriously.

Wait, with Finno-Swedes do you mean the Finnish Swedes or the Swedish Finns? Or the Finnish Swedes in Sweden, the Swedish Finns in Finland, the Finnish Swedes in Finland, or the Swedish Finns in Sweden? Gah, too many Finns and Swedes!

If that if one of your problems with NZ, I'm afraid you won't find any respite in Sweden. The government here are thoroughly neo-liberal and is giving away millions upon millions in tax money handouts to private companies. The current government is even so obsessed with the idea that "private organisation is always and inherently and automatically better than state-run" that we now have private business doing what the state used to provide (sometimes even alongside the state organisation) with no income beyond tax money, often despite being proved to be inefficient or even incapable and certainly not cheaper than the public alternative. It's completely redundant and utterly ridiculous.
