Well Jono, that then doesn't distinguish us from the Brits, or does it?

Oh, before I forget, another bad example of German humour.

Is this going to be an anglo-germanic slinging match?
Santa is showing a flag to his reindeers and comments, "It has the
beautiful Santa Claus colours, a sweet little Santa in the middle, so
what's you dislike about my new logo?" They answer, "You have a full
beard".

An Englishman who has told too many German jokes!

President Starfairy, I have to assume that your signature says something good about me as I cannot imagine you being mean and writing something bad.

Thats the problem: the Brits don't get it, the German humour that is:
Do the Brits desire to be British, or not?

But Jonathon, you're asking the wrong person. Jono is Welsh, how should he know.

i'm not English certainly; but technically at least i am British according to my passport.
i can also speak 3 words of Turkish. In Britain that means i'm multi-lingual and get to put "fluent in Turkish" on my CV.

Seggiest, It's not good I think. My Goa'uld is rusty but I'd swear he's calling you a traitor to the human race.

Spine, President Starfairy is a good man. I should know I ran his successful election campaign. I cannot believe that he would stoop to such lows for the sake of a cheap joke. You must be mistaken although I thank you for your concern.

I'm not British (I guess I would probably classify myself as Scottish) but I found this amusing
