Yes, its really interesting isn't it?

I just don't get it... the whole sectarianism... I've seen both sides. No one is ever going to "win" so whats the point?

[Jog On]

Does it have any flashing lights?

It does but they're not very impressive.

[Sockpuppet]

**** off..... they sacrafice goats.... don't ya know?!

Dammit. I though it was like the female only accommodation at Uni (aka the Virgin Megastore).

On a side note calling it Zavvi just doesn't have the same ring.

The Huns weren't German. They were Asians, who spread to Europe via what is now Turkey and the Balkans. Me Great Uncle Attila (nein ich bin kein plastic German) was actually from somewhere in the Balkans, possibly in modern day Serbia.

The British started calling Germans Huns durng WWI, as in 'Tally ho chaps, we'll show the hun what British chaps are made of', prior to showing everyone that British chaps were made of flesh and blood just like all the other poor sods who got mutilated by machine guns.

Beware of the Hun in the sun

Oh. Thats a shame. At least it has a few twiddly things and some pushy pushy buttons to keep you entertained.

Harland and Wolff moved to Govan and as they had a no Catholic policy so they were called the huns as both names were German. Since they got pulled for singing "up to our knees in Fenian blood" they have tried to say the use of Huns is sectarian.

I think you'll find it was the courts saying that the use of Hun is sectarian. But then 'your lot' always seem to miss the point when it comes to Sectarianism.

** And to point out the sectarian connotation of Hun, it's referring to the Germanic origin of the Protestant religion. It's normally followed by an expletive of their choice, i.e Dirty Hun ba**ard, etc, etc.

There's nothing to get. It's just stupid human nature.

Israelis vs Palestinians
Catholics vs Protestants
Muslims vs Everyone else
<<My group>> vs <<Your group>>

My lot are better/superior/cleverer than yours etc.
Instead of realising that it's all chance and randomness.
