All I have to say is Connor...
Can't write or read but can play the tin whistle!!!
Could he be any more of a steriotypical Irish man?! The best thing was, my (Northern, but catholic) Irish flat mate and my Welsh flat mate used to make me watch Braveheart and when Connor went into Neighbours I got my revenge (obviously I didn't need it against the Welsh lad cos, well, he's Welsh! Altho I always had the last laugh in Braveheart cos the English won and cut his guts open at the end!! Hurrah!) |

^ nah mate you see the bit at the end thats the start of Bannockburn
| quote: | The Middle Ages
Battle of Bannockburn 1314
Landscape in half-light with distant hills
On 23 and 24 June 1314, the forces of Edward II and Robert I met on the flat land south of Stirling. Edward had accepted a challenge to relieve Stirling Castle - one of the few Scottish castles still under English control - by midsummer's day.
The Scottish forces, although smaller, were better led and better positioned. They won a heroic victory and Edward fled the field and Scotland (narrowly escaping capture).
Although it was not until 1328 that the English monarchy (under Edward III) accepted Scotland's right to full independent status, the Battle of Bannockburn marked the end of any English pretensions to control the northern British kingdom. |

Yea but we own your asses now!
But just think, how much backwards would Scotland or Ireland be if it weren't for the English takin you over?! After all, we invented the modern world you should count your selves lucky!
And I dont care what the end of Braveheart was the begginin of, all I care is that that bastard Gibson (cos he is a bastard and this is one thing I will agree with our Israeli friends cos he hates the English nearly as much as he hates the Jews!) gets his cuts pulled out! Nice one! |
