Hi Paul. I didn’t spot any mispellings

I don’t think anyone is having a go at him for being proud of being English (although I’ve not read all the comments). Personally, I’d question whether being proud to be “English” *is* actually a good thing. I think it’s part of our tribal nature that makes us want to divide the world into “us” and “them”. I suspect that to be proud of your nationality you have to believe that it’s better than (most) other nationalities. But I’ve not thought about patriotism that much, so that’s just off the top of my head. Maybe it’s perfectly possible to be proud of your own culture/language/landscape etc without thinking that you’re better than anyone else. Depends what we mean by “pride” really. I dunno. I’m willing to have my mind changed. Though I’m not sure I want to start having discussions in the comments on here or it’ll turn into another place where people argue on the internet

Anyway, the thing that makes this geezer a prat is his racism and paranoia that the UK government is somehow “bending over backwards” for bad, brown people.

Hi everyone,firstly may i inform you that i am 50 year old man,i have got brain damage and i am learning to read and write again so please if i mispell dont have a go at me.I have been trying to make sense of the comments on here and what started it all,it appears that everone is having a go at the man who is English and proud,now i dont agree that he should of mentioned muslims living here butcause that should be irelevant,but surely there is nothing wrong with being proud of your country,the scots welsh and irish are and i dont blame them.I also agree that when you move to another country you should abide by there rules as i am sure you all would.I welcome any person of any race to this country if they are peace loving and law abiding,i hope my writing is not to bad,and if i have misinterpreted what is being said then i apologise,i am trying to get involved in things like this to stimulate my brain.Thank you paul

I can’t work out why he missed the ‘the’ off PROUD ENGLISH GUY. I have three theories:

> He’s Polish, and English articles fuck speakers of Slavic languages right up the brainhole. Unlikely.
> He’s spent so long in Japan, immersed in the local language and culture, that it has fucked with his native language. Impossible.
> He trained his wife to shout “You are a proud Englishman” at the moment of climax, but, being stupid enough to marry him, she didn’t learn it properly and it became engrained in his head. Probable.
> He programmed his Japanese desktop stripper to shout it when he presses the full-stop button, which he otherwise has no use for, at the moment of climax, but such are his programming skills that it came out wrong and became engrained in his head. Almost certain.

joe - seems like you know the same japanese as I. Shaming, isn’t it.

to be fair, words like manko and chimpo have a much more startling effect in Japan (and to Japanese folks) than their equivalents do here…

@773 (metric)

A nob called ‘Question That’ has posted here a few times. Normally because he agrees with a HYSer’s point of view. He’s also the fellow that took great offence to the twat-o-tron, to which he contributed the term ‘blarixt’.

They are among us!

“What an utter hoya*-no-manko.”

I am ashamed to say that “manko” is one of about a dozen words of Japanese I know.

“i work in Japan my wife is Japanese when i am there”

What is she when you’re not there? Aside from grateful that is…

“they dont bend backwards for us”

They do if you go to the right establishment and pay enough…

I just love the: ‘I AM PROUD ENGLISH GUY’ He obviously thinks he’s perpetually in foreigner-land, and has to bellow at the top of his voice, very slowly, to be understood.

Didn’t Carlisle get relegated out of the third world?

No, they beat Bolton in a two legged play off and stayed up.
