@CrimsonComms laugh while you can but mark my words it will eventually happen. People will be people at the end of the day.

Or how about you try reading a fucking book instead of wasting braincells on a computer screen.
@Pimpywimpy25 Jesus Christ, I jokingly responded with two words. I didn't need a paragraph of indignant "I am more intelligent than you" bullshit from a guy with no sense of humour. I mean, why did you bafflingly presume that I don't read? You can't go with the 'stupid illiterate' line of insulting when you don't even know me; I just finished reading King Lear.
Welsh people are awesome. Internet arguments are embarrassing. Let's stop.
This is how violence within ethnic minorities start, Jews, Pakistanis, Basques etc...as Christopher Isherwood said in "Single man" the more you alienate or dehumans people the nastier they become. And if you allow Welsh racism to be acceptable without giving a damn about it...well then....
Tis a great shame that Rob Brydon completely undid all of what he said by being in Gavin & fucking Stacey, which in my eyes put the public's perception of the Welsh back a good few centuries...
@JafaCakesMonster So your country has been invaded and you've been annexed to your conquerors ever since, who also take the time to bag you and your culture out. How do you feel now?
but this talk is strange coming from an Australian, you know that country where scum was exiled to . . . not exactly a kind history for that country either.
@MegaLolburger I actually enjoy this program very much, I just don't happen to be one of those people that think that all people from one country are exactly the same, like you think American's are, it's a pretty childish view of the world really...
Nope I don't think all Americans are, just the majority. It would take a lot of re-working on the American education system (particularly history and Geography), getting rid of FOX news and a justifiable explanation as to why Bush was elected TWICE for me to think otherwise.
@MegaLolburger well if you hadn't noticed British people have a different culture than Americans do(fortunate for you), and some phrases and words are unfamiliar to us Americans just like it is in reverse. I should have known a self important twat like yourself would make a big deal out of it... please fuck off
@hempartist420 can i just ask how a joke about wales sparked an argument between an Englishman and an American. This is a comedy quiz show, surely there are more important things to argue about and that deserve your attention? oh and my opinion? both countries have serious issues! yes the Americans elected Bush but the English elected Blair who's just as much of a horses ass!! and both countries have education issues i don't know what Americans call them but in England they're called chavs!!
@traybake1 "can i just ask how a joke about wales sparked an argument between an Englishman and an American."
well you should ask the self-important Englishman who started the whole debacle, I don't know.
and I agree that both countries have seriously screwed themselves and each other in recent years, but I think I'd rather be living in England right now If I had the choice...
@blackvapour I"m an American, I'm well aware that most Americans are dim, you must be pretty daft yourself to think I need to hear it one more time...
@MegaLolburger Haha, because Americans aren't human beings. Granted, he's a moron who doesn't understand things, but that's not because he's American. I'm American and I understood this video just fine.
@uiruu It's more because we have very different cultures and a very different sense of humour, so it's rare to find Americans who actually understand British humour - which tends to be pretty dry.
@hempartist420 and @Edbrad and @traybake1 and @blackvapour and @MegaLolburger, CHILL. hempartist, i think, was being very cool and asking for help understanding this clip, rather than being an arrogant, willfully ignorant american. being american myself, i applaud you, hon. well done.
the rest of y'all, jumping on poor hempartist and insulting our culture and us, were being very MEAN. hempartist had a question. ou could have answered, like normal people, but decided not to. there.
@20centuryfox100 thank you, I appreciate your help, I probably could have formulated my question better, but I'm used to being attacked by the British on these threads anyway(they typically don't like Americans too much, but who can blame them). I love British culture and love watching British tv which is far superior to anything we get in the states in my opinion, I could do without the self-important wankery though.
@strident212 That's got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. English is the world's language solely because it's the language of the world's first and only superpower. If China was the world's superpower, then Chinese would be the world's language, difficult as it may be. Latin was the lingua franca in Europe for centuries, yet as a former Latin student I know for a fact that it's a very hard language to learn, even when your mother tongue is a Romance language.
English is the worlds language because the British empire was the largest empire the world has ever known (in terms of land mass) and rulled over 25% of the wolds population at its peak which was only a couple of generations ago. It also helps that the next super power to take up the whip and dominate the worlds was a break away part of that Empire and hence also spoke English. It will be interesting to see what happens when the whip passes to the Chineese in 30 years or so.
@Saruman38 You also forgot one factor. English is a global language because it's used everywhere, from tourism, commerce to computer technology. It would be very hard for mandarin to become a worldwide language if no one would be interested in making a computer system or stock market based on mandarin written in pinyin. It would also be very confusing cause it's a tonal language. "ma" has 5 different meanings, depending on how you say it.
the english think theyre funny but they're hated by the rest of britain! the greatest insult in the world is when the yanks call's the welsh - english! because that translates to calling gold - shit!
@mcinerney93 That's not true at all, the term 'Taking the piss' was created in England.. We take the piss out of each other all the time, there's a difference between taking the piss and just pure hatred inspired insults.
I think we can safely come to the conclusion that the entire world's in the shitter, and that it's everyone's fault. Focus on the sheep shaggers and the beer swiggers and the bad teeth and the funny things, it'll make like easier.
@lunarwolf97 But thats just not true, No welsh person i have spoken to has mentioned the us, also.. how old are you? 13? Ive found welsh people become much more personal and so forth. You shall also find that americans are the ones who are withdrawing so that their president can get more votes, thus leaving soldiers from the uk (england, scotland, northern ireland AND wales) with less of a force and using your words... "in the shit" :)
To all of the people below me, I am english and I live in wales, and i can honestly say the people that live here are the most racist people i have ever seen, The reason english people slag welsh people off? because welsh people (from the people i have met... not all of them are the same) think they are better than everywhere else in the world. English people love the welsh and all the people in the uk... because we mostly think of them as being in our country... but thats another argument. :)
I do think the Welsh are slagged off far more than any other race I know of. If some of the comments addressed to the Welsh were said about any other BRITISH minority, they commenters would be hauled up before the Race Relations Board.
A Scot. Oh I know some out there will claim it's humour, but then you could call jokes about gas chambers etc humour, IF you are weird..... and sick.
@humanzeez4realz nothing wrong with being welsh or loving the welsh. it's just that english people use us as an excuse to bolster their self esteem and do anything they can to give us a bad name
@gratzy2 I find the Welsh tend to be more hateful of the English have a stab at us at any given opportunity than the other way around. We love the Welsh, just like we love the Scots and the Irish, it's the Welsh, Scots and Irish who don't like the English lol.
@TalesOfWar wow what the fuck. england's shit governing has left wales poor, and even if you have one of your "Budget cuts" Wales also has to have a budget cut. a country already economic bad had to cut mean. i mean WHAT??/
@gratzy2 The GLOBAL recession left Wales (and England, and pretty much every industrialised economy on earth) poor. Don't blame the English for something that isn't our fault. See, this is my point. We make a joke about the Welsh, and everyone else, even ourselves, and everyone else just outright blames us for their woes, even if we're also going through the same hardships and have no control over it. Also I don't agree with the current government, I sure as hell didn't vote for it.
i think the welsh dislike for the english is similar to the blacks dislike of the whites. its because england tried to wipe out the welsh, tried to abolish the native tounge and take the land. plus whenever an english person impersonates a welsh person they make the welsh sound stupid. many valid reasons as to why the welsh always will hate the english.
@Vinrex7 England never tried to wipe out the Welsh or tried to abolish the language, that's all a myth. The Romans pushed many you'd consider to be "English" into what we now know as Wales during their occupation. Because it's full of mountains it wasn't really occupied as heavily as England and the celtic languages/customs and so on carried on. Welsh isn't used much due to English just being more common for business and so on and their wish to take part. There was no drive to ever abolish it.
The banning of the language did happen in schools. Children were caned if discovered speaking the language in schooltime in school grounds. Mostly in Victorian Britain.
Romans pushed 'ancient britons' west/north not english since the term comes from Angles - and they arrived along with the Saxons & the Jutes post- Romano Britain and prior to the Norman invasion.
I am welsh/british & am fortunate to live in Wales/GB. The whole island is beautiful.
@TrefyJot Wasn't that myth about being caned if caught speaking Welsh "busted" so to speak? Rob Brydon himself had a programme on not too long ago where he went to discover if all this kind of stuff was true, and all the evidence he found said it was pretty much a load of bollocks lol. Welsh died out because English was simply used more. It was (and still is) the language of business and science, so if you want to take part in these worlds you need to know the language.
Sadly, i don't have hard n fast evidence but word of mouth that's come down generations and tales that have come from other families
Agree that English is the international language of the world - mind you, that has also come about due to wars, invasion -
Realistically, the jibes between the british nations should be done with humour and not as agggressively as does happen. Am lucky to work with a small group of people n all home nations are represented. All good n healthy :)
@bfg2199 what? you do realize you just said ' My rob likes ice with..'. if you're going to trash the welsh in their own language maybe you should brush up on it first.
leisure centre hehe brydon is a genius and best of all hes a genius who makes everyone laugh but doesnt actually offend anyone. hes old school genius like ronnie barker and morecambe and wise laurel and hardy style
oh, i womder if the BBC are making a humourous point about racism... will make a change from their serious sickening racial onslaughts that we're all subjected to on a daily basis!!
OK, some facts for the people confused earlier in this conversation:
1. The UK is not the same as Great Britain or the British Isles, all three are different:
2. The British Isles is the name of the archipelago and every island in it, it includes Ireland, Man, Orkney and Great Britain.
3. Great Britain is Prydein, the largest island, the original inhabitants of it, the cymru, before the concept of "Wales" existed, inhabited it up to about Strathclyde and shared the east with incomers
6. As much as I'd like it to be, Cymraeg is *not* the oldest language in Europe, although it's not far off, I believe that title is held by Basque, which is even pre Proto-Indo-European, and certainly not Romanized and evolved like Cymraeg
4. We are in fact a race, distributed around Great Britain but now most concentrated in Wales, we have been present since before the Romans and the modern population of Prydein has up to 50% of our original DNA in places.
5. The only word that makes sense is "Cymru", Welsh is an Anglo Saxon word for the indigenous population that was functionally equivalent to the N word for black people now. The country is later invention, it's a bolthole for a population that was all over Britain
yeah... @shoottherunner8008 you should really pick a sex you think i am, most of it says i am a man, but then you put "gay boyfriend", and if you picked man then i would be gay as well, so having a gay boyfriend would be good... btw i am a straight woman so f**k you :P
@shoottherunner8008 isn't it funny that the English can be racist / xenophobic because of a comedy video... and they can't even spell or use their insults properly
@daddyschlong14 Black people, asian or whatever other group, that people are racist against, aren't races either. All humans belong to one race. The human race.
@daddyschlong14 Yep, actually the word Welsh means foreigner, even though the Welsh have been in Britain longer than the Anglo Saxon peoples in England.
@G1NZOU Indeed. Hence the rather insulting 'Welsh Rabbit' for toasted cheese. 'Rarebit' is a later corruption of the term. True welsh types would call themselves cymry I suppose. Cymru is the country, cymry the people. I might be wrong.
watching these qi clips makes me feel so unintelligent...

@gratzy2 I find the Welsh tend to be more hateful of the English have a stab at us at any given opportunity than the other way around. We love the Welsh, just like we love the Scots and the Irish, it's the Welsh, Scots and Irish who don't like the English lol.

@TalesOfWar wow what the fuck. england's shit governing has left wales poor, and even if you have one of your "Budget cuts" Wales also has to have a budget cut. a country already economic bad had to cut mean. i mean WHAT??/

@gratzy2 The GLOBAL recession left Wales (and England, and pretty much every industrialised economy on earth) poor. Don't blame the English for something that isn't our fault. See, this is my point. We make a joke about the Welsh, and everyone else, even ourselves, and everyone else just outright blames us for their woes, even if we're also going through the same hardships and have no control over it. Also I don't agree with the current government, I sure as hell didn't vote for it.

i think the welsh dislike for the english is similar to the blacks dislike of the whites. its because england tried to wipe out the welsh, tried to abolish the native tounge and take the land. plus whenever an english person impersonates a welsh person they make the welsh sound stupid. many valid reasons as to why the welsh always will hate the english.

@Vinrex7 England never tried to wipe out the Welsh or tried to abolish the language, that's all a myth. The Romans pushed many you'd consider to be "English" into what we now know as Wales during their occupation. Because it's full of mountains it wasn't really occupied as heavily as England and the celtic languages/customs and so on carried on. Welsh isn't used much due to English just being more common for business and so on and their wish to take part. There was no drive to ever abolish it.

@TalesOfWar
Yes and no... lol.
The banning of the language did happen in schools. Children were caned if discovered speaking the language in schooltime in school grounds. Mostly in Victorian Britain.
Romans pushed 'ancient britons' west/north not english since the term comes from Angles - and they arrived along with the Saxons & the Jutes post- Romano Britain and prior to the Norman invasion.
I am welsh/british & am fortunate to live in Wales/GB. The whole island is beautiful.
All the best :0)

@TrefyJot Wasn't that myth about being caned if caught speaking Welsh "busted" so to speak? Rob Brydon himself had a programme on not too long ago where he went to discover if all this kind of stuff was true, and all the evidence he found said it was pretty much a load of bollocks lol. Welsh died out because English was simply used more. It was (and still is) the language of business and science, so if you want to take part in these worlds you need to know the language.

Hi ToW
Sadly, i don't have hard n fast evidence but word of mouth that's come down generations and tales that have come from other families
Agree that English is the international language of the world - mind you, that has also come about due to wars, invasion -
Realistically, the jibes between the british nations should be done with humour and not as agggressively as does happen. Am lucky to work with a small group of people n all home nations are represented. All good n healthy :)

OK, some facts for the people confused earlier in this conversation:
1. The UK is not the same as Great Britain or the British Isles, all three are different:
2. The British Isles is the name of the archipelago and every island in it, it includes Ireland, Man, Orkney and Great Britain.
3. Great Britain is Prydein, the largest island, the original inhabitants of it, the cymru, before the concept of "Wales" existed, inhabited it up to about Strathclyde and shared the east with incomers

6. As much as I'd like it to be, Cymraeg is *not* the oldest language in Europe, although it's not far off, I believe that title is held by Basque, which is even pre Proto-Indo-European, and certainly not Romanized and evolved like Cymraeg

4. We are in fact a race, distributed around Great Britain but now most concentrated in Wales, we have been present since before the Romans and the modern population of Prydein has up to 50% of our original DNA in places.
5. The only word that makes sense is "Cymru", Welsh is an Anglo Saxon word for the indigenous population that was functionally equivalent to the N word for black people now. The country is later invention, it's a bolthole for a population that was all over Britain
