off in a huff

Apparently the users of this site slag of america and americans whenever possible so CN wont be posting here.

I sent him a good natured 'get a grip' post as we get on reasonably well on the US boards.

to me:

I appreciate your opinion on this. I forwarded it to my wife as she is the one I'm arguing with about it.

As for the CIA boards i'm just going to stay away from there seems like every time you guys get a chance you want to dog out America and Americans and I think it's in pretty bad taste so to avoid any argument I'll just stick to this side of the pond. Please do hang out over on this forum more though and contribute I think you are a well read and knowledgable source of info for everyone and that is sometimes in short supply around here. "

Mate its not having a go at America

We have a go at *everything*, the scots rip the welsh, the welsh rip the english, we all rip the germans.

Beds and herts *is* german and he mocks stuff as much as anyone else.

We're very multicultural and nothings sacred.

Off memory, I'm welsh, stof is scots, martins german (as is julius h and a few others) Imps Irish, ranj is indian etc etc.

Honestly its just banter, many of us are ex army and its cultural to mercilessly take the piss and wind up your best mates.

I had a weekend of ridicule for 'wearing a skirt' last weekend at operation aeriel but the trick is to give as good as you get without getting too defensive.

Personally its apparent that when the applesauce hits the fan our countries are the first two to band together. We've alot uniting us and its going to take more than piss taking to break that up.

Honestly dont be offended. "
