"You know its sad....."

... I've been using these Forums on and off for a couple of years, generally in the Web Forum as that’s what area I work in, and I don't really know any of you, I only know of you, there are one or two, but out of how many users???

So, just thought I'd come and formally introduce myself, and try and get to know some of you nice people.

I'm Chris Haig, 19, from Somerset (South West of England), currently at college at a HND Level, and working p/t in a factory.

What about everyone else, college, school, work, careers?? I'd like to get to know you more and be a more active part of this Forum :o).

yes, I did come across the "Family Crest" thread in the Life, Universe and etc forum.

I'm 1/4 Welsh, the rest being English, with the family name dating back to the Norman invasion or something. I was born in germany.

Now, given that I have welsh in me, family history dating back many centuries and a birthplace in a country who had a house of royals presiding over the UK at one point, I can say quite confidently that I am a Brit.

Welsh people are the root of all evil.

Nope, I've not come across any of those racist comments at all.

Did you know that it's the Welsh, Scottish and Cornish that are the true Brits. The English descended from Romans, French, Swedish, and every other invader to reach UK shores! So anyone claiming to be pure blooded English is not actually a pure blooded Brit!

The English were very savage whilst the Celts were civilised hundreds of years ago.

Taff isn't the only Welsah nickname.

There is also:

Welsh tw*t
Sheep sha*gging w*nker
caveman

I'm sure you'll have encountered one of these at some point...

Fair enough - I take it the nickname for the Welsh hasn't reached Devon though - when I lived there, I wasn't once called Taff.

Yep, and from that the nickname Taff ensues. Used plenty for Welshpeople over here in England.

I thought it was a river that flows from the Brecon Beacons to Cardiff Bay.

Yes, you win that prize. Have fun.
