Isn't Portugal (about) the only country that England hasn't gone to war with?

Technically true, but after the Peninsular wars Britain effectively occupied Portugal and ruled through a Regency operated under military control headed by William Beresford. We didn't actually invade and conquer them, but once we'd dealt with the French we decided we liked the place so much we'd keep it.

We were finally kicked out following the revolution in 1820 and the return of the royal family from Brazil.

Well Bee as an individual is an idiot. But I like the Portuguese generally. And Brits should not be too patronising. All countries follow historical paths from dominance to decline. Portugal was ahead of us in opening up the path to the East and has subsequently declined to obscurity. Some of you voted to accelerate the same fate for Britain.

Maybe you can bring them back

[northernladuk]

Yawn.

Well he started off OK....

Again, you are insisting in put words in my mouth. I'm not criticize UK and you don't stop criticize Portugal.

Again, look for the trash that you have in your country, "power" it's not everything. Take it like a man.

So you say you don't criticise the UK but in the next sentence tell me to look for our 'trash'.

Get a grip.

Do you live and work in Portugal or are you in the UK?

[Bee]

We don't have your trash. You and the vast majority of the EU is in absolutely no position to criticise the UK. Your country is an e onomic disaster. You even have Cretinhead buying you up.

You really need to get a grip and escape the constant feeling sorry for yourself.

Where I wrote that it's OK! Don't put words in my mouth.
Clean the trash of your "house" before criticize or make jokes from the other's "house".

That's what first crossed my mind when translate.google.com returned the baffling sentence "The mouth dies the fish"

But a bit more digging suggested "By its mouth the fish dies", meaning something like "Careless talk costs lives".

Jeez, if that was true on CUK, hardly any of us would still be around!

Bingo, "By its mouth the fish dies", meaning that we should be careful with the words because they can turn against us.

Don't be ridiculous and stop to be a victim.

Who knows my posts also knows that I wish all the best to UK after this mess, I just don't like to see jokes against the others's disgrace.

"Pela boca morre o peixe". It's a Portuguese expression, you can try to figure it out.

What have I missed, what have you done to disgrace yourself, is FLC involved....or a Gladiator....or?
