  1. Did an asset condition survey at the QE Hospital Woolwich, finished surveying the GUM clinic before lunch, and on the menu in the canteen was.....Spotted Dick.

    How we sniggered.

  2. Served at the "Special Clinic"? A course of antibiotics usually does the trick.

  5. Exactly. None of this poncey Earl Grey. If you can't stand the spoon up in it, it's not proper tea.

    I wonder if that is totally true when you research your ancestry!
     
  7. The Brits are a real nation of mongrels. I'm a Viking.

    I take the mick out of my wife and kids for being Italian but they always hit back with ‘ The Romans were here a long time, can you honestly say you’re not part Italian?

    At which point you slicked back your hair, reversed your St Christopher, and started waving your arms about asking what the hell are they talking about?!

    And demanded money before I handed back their driving licences!
     
  12. She speaks the truth. Although if you're from Northern "Danelaw" parts, you're likely to be part Viking as well.

    I like the fact that the Brits are a right jumble of everything :)

    The one that really gets them is when I say Italian food in the south originated in Arabia. Boy does that make them defensive! I’ve also mentioned Greek rule and the British founding Napoli football club!

  16. I did one. Lot of Norman (Viking) and Scandinavian. Hardly any "English" at all! Would explain the lanky legs...

    Also I had to admit a great great grandmother on my mum’s side actually was Italian :oops:
     
  18. To be renamed "Snotty Longshanks" ...

    Don`t need the ancestry DNA kit ...OWW MUCH ??
