Why do you think Hadrian's Wall was built?

Face paint, Gibberish, and refusal to die. That was the spirit. :cool:


Does anyone happen to remember the name of the latest Goldfrapp single, by any chance?

Sorry Jelle?

like all the castles near where I live?

[QUOTE=Superpeer]They were European, actually. ;).[/QUOTE]

Of course the original Americans [as in the US] were European, we still are mostly of European descent... doesn't mean our anscestors didn't pwn the Natives [well actually a lot of my family came to America in the 30's and 40's... but still].

:eek: Oops. That was a stupid thing for me to say. I meant...something. I'm drawing a blank. I'm assuming when I said European I meant just non-American overall.

You said they were Americans, when they weren't really Americans yet. It's when they started to settle down and have more generations that they started to suck. lolz

[QUOTE=Superpeer]You said they were Americans, when they weren't really Americans yet. It's when they started to settle down and have more generations that they started to suck. lolz[/QUOTE]

Well the main part of taking out the Indians was when we invaded the West in the 1800's. Making us Americans.

Question: How do you pronounce preterite?

on the whole Hadrian's wall thing, in Roman times i would have been in Scotland, as i'm 10 miles north of the wall, but Ollie (Lord Abortion) would have been in England, he lives just south of the wall.

in other news, the night before last i ran over a deer when i was driving along the road by Hadrian's Wall, stupid bugger smashed a panel into the radiator, fortunately it's not broken. i was pretty lucky considering i was doing 60mph when it ran out in front of me.

[QUOTE=Superpeer]Question: How do you pronounce preterite?[/QUOTE]

As in a type of verb form expressing or describing something done in the past?

pret-er-it.

It seems an odd part of the phrase "association football" to use, though.

Football as in American Football is even less likely. I don't understand where that came from at all.

The kickoff?

Yep, that's the one. Thanks. I can read phonetic, but not the pseudo phonetic alphabet dictionary.com uses and I couldn't find my English Pronunciation Dictionary.


Gaol is still an awesome word, by the way.


NP: Ramones - Psycho Therapy

in hexham you can visit "the old gaol".

Jelle, is it not a real pain learning english, as words like "cough" "through" "bough" have the same endings but completely different sounds?

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]The kickoff?[/QUOTE]It would make much more sense to call it "Hit Ball", "Block Ball", or "Physical Padded Endzone Ball" or something along those lines.

Can anyone tell me what "lytte til avrette Norsk sort metallisk" means? :confused:

It can be annoying yes, but I think I know most of them by now.

I know it's Cuff, fr00 and baw, at least I think so. ;)

[QUOTE=Arucard]I think the reason why the US has a good team now is because maybe you guys are around 50 times larger than England? So i think you have quite alot more players to choose from. We only bitch because Rugby and Football are things that are very important to the average persons life.[/QUOTE]

The difference is that the very best British athletes play soccer/football, while the very best American athletes play basketball, American football, and baseball.

Regional history: I lived in Chicago, which at least had a famous book (The Jungle) and a famous poem (that poem by Carl Sandberg) written about it...I guess it has SOME kind of history but I never really bothered looking it up. Of course, I was born there, so you know it's great.

And I grew up in Boston..."Most Important City in American History", anyone?

You just described every american university student, practically.

You did forget about being ultra politically correct, though. Speaking of the PC crowd, and the fact im watching last action hero, im surprised PC crusaders havent sued schwarzeneger yet to change his last name to something else, because it does translate to, and im not even joking: Black Ni[color=white]gger[/color]

yeah, but you have to go to Hexham...and that makes your brain dirty.

I had thought about the same thing. But does the "neger" part really translate to "n[SIZE=2]ig[/SIZE]ger"?

EDIT: Woah, I just looked it up. :eek: His name is offensive in his native tongue.

I endorse that first part. Apart from the great weather and great beaches, the city offers nothing New York or Chicago doesn't.

Why? Just because your from Boston? I never got the whole city rivalry aside from sports.
