Ex-Spurs Player Danny Rose

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Good idea.. lets set Danny Rose up as a TV Presenter and send him around the world sampling food and tracing its origins. Let him discover things like the trade routes and how nations interacted. The theme could centre about "not having to google" facts. Could even do a special Milan? Lombardy importance in the trading world.

"an idea for a programme..... 'A Rose between thorns'....Ex-footballer Danny Rose travels the world...."


:ap:
 
Nationality isn't important.... see Nuclear Fusion thread.. we're fucked when we speed up our travel..

So are you telling me you don't believe the Annunaki built the pyramids then?

:sonpoint:
 
Anyone banging on about how 'proud' they are of a place they were born in through pure chance, 99% of the time is a massive fucking whopper.

English, French, German, whoever. Anyone who buzzes off where they come from is normally a massive bore.

And you always get them abroad whinging about where they’ve ended up

I usually end up telling them to fuck off back there if it was so good
 
Presumably we just scrap all cultures then, for being boring and dogmatic?

Problem solved. Welcome to biege world
You misunderstand my point. I'm saying that endless and out of topic droning on about "I'm British and superior" or the contrary "All nationalism and heritage is bullshit" is quite boring.

I know this all too well as my family - very Swedish people - don't think anything Swedish exists, and will bring it up completely out of the blue. Which is very, very tireing.

I hear you, yeah I misunderstood your point. sorry.

Sounds like your family have got a dose of the liberal disease known as white guilt. It's sweeping the continent.

Personally I'm proud to be British and fuck the haters

EDIT : Abba mate......Abba

They are delusional rather. Which is sad. Used to like them.
Which brings us back to Danny Rose!

Danny Rose is delusional, which is sad. Used to like him a lot.
 
There is nothing wrong with being a proud Brit and liking British culture. Sounds like your mate takes it to the extreme levels. But I'm sure there are people of other cultures that are equally proud and only eat their own cultural foods.
I'm sure there are Italian "Brexit Barrys" out there that will only eat Italian food, Koreans who will only eat Korean food etc etc.
Nothing wrong with that, that's what culture is.

I voted for Brexit and I still enjoy other cultures, I travel a lot, and always eat the local foods.
Still proud of English culture though.

maybe dial back your rhetoric a touch as more than 50% of the people in this country voted Brexit and I for one don't like being ignorantly stereotyped.

If you only eat food (not because you like it) because you are proud of something you had zero control over(where you were born) there is something deeply wrong with it. In fact your a bona-fide idiot. This stands whether your Italian English or Chinese.

Nonsense. You are proud of whatever good you inherit and ashamed of whatever bad. Usually. Whether that be skill, strength, culture or what ever.

Eating only chips as some patriotic principle in life is embarrassing however.
