What part of Florida does California belong to

That'll be Denver, I think.  Anyway, 4 great Englishmen:

1.  Winston Churchill
2.  Graham Hill.

... .......er...I'll get back to you on this.

Yellow card!

Well, he's playing to form, then (though we cannot speak to his football) 

I will not make a thread on 4 great Scots. The list is so long, and what would be the point ? Most of your fraternal associates can't tell the difference  between Afghanistan and Iraq, or between Florida and California. So what chance England and Scotland ?

[Franco]

I can only think of one, Sean Connery.

Scotland, is that the place where men where those plaid skirts?

Could be called Skirtland.

A land to be carefully skirted, lest one runs into robnewman.

O Mensch, your name suggests that your land is part of Germany. Which part of the USA does that belong to ?

Laurasia. Didn't you know?

No, I didn't know. Which is why I asked you. I have this habit of asking questions when I am looking for answers.

Never noticed that.  You usually ask questions when you want to mock and silence dissent and attempt to convince the rest of us of your harebrained theories about moon landings and terrorist attacks.

'Hairbrained theories' ? The Apollo moon landings are so filled with huge falsehoods it's laughable that you should say this. The 'evidence' for them is precisely what ? The hairbrained believe them. And they never examine the arguments against them. Which makes them hairbrained.

As for 'terrorist attacks', I am unsure of which you are speaking. The most hairbrained ideas I ever saw are in the official report of 9.11 which speaks of a 'conspiracy' by Arabs who somehow had US driving licences and whose leader was a business associate of G.W. Bush for years. In fact, who was an employee of the CIA in Afghanistan. But that doesn't count. I mean, is THAT hairbrained, or what ?

Finally, dissent is, by definition, a view different from the mainstream. So I do not fall in to that category at all.

Any other errors you want to share ?

[Brian]

'Hairbrained theories' ? ... hairbrained. ... hairbrained ideas ... is THAT hairbrained,

How did you manage to spell harebrained wrong four times even though the post you were quoting spelled it correctly?

[MishaK]

Oh, no, no, no! I never characterized you as 'mainstream' nor would I ever dare do that.

[ChamberNut]

Firstly, I am not English. Fool ! I was born in Scotland. But hey, don't let facts get in the way, will you ? You start with errors and you will just keep going, won't you ? Scotland is a different nation from England. Didn't know that, right ? Shall I send you an atlas ?

Your accusation is false. These sorts of poster should be banned from this forum. Their plan is simple - to cause maximum disruption of this thread.

Any answer ?

My mistake Rob.  I can admit when I'm wrong.  I thought I remember you saying you were English before (from another site), but obviously I was mistaken.  And yes, I do know the difference, but thank you for your concern.

I'll make the transfer over to "One Evil Scot".  

[eyeresist]

Well, they were failures. And they were destructive/murderous men who were motivated by religious fanaticism.

Just like Mr. Cromwell!
