RMweb Gold teaky Posted June 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2016 Ah BUT !! ( Now I meant it light hearted, but I can get serious here ) you miss the point. The Angle tribe became the 'Anglo' part of Anglo-Saxon, the Anglo part later became what was referred to as 'Engl' which became what we all know as England ( via Englaland - land of the Angles ). Off history soap box. Eh? The Angles came from what is now southern Denmark / northern Germany. They weren't a tribe of Britons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyewipe Jct Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Eh? The Angles came from what is now southern Denmark / northern Germany. They weren't a tribe of Britons. Which means the English aren't even British! Might be a useful get out clause depending on how the Iceland match goes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edcayton Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Have you looked at a photo of "the donald" and "the boris" and compared? Either one is the love child of the other or they are one and the same. Have they ever been seen together? Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike2steam Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Eh? The Angles came from what is now southern Denmark / northern Germany. They weren't a tribe of Britons. The Britons were Celts, akin to the Welsh & Cornish. And the Saxons were a Germanic tribe too. Ah, a history lesson, the Saxons, Jutes, Angles, Frisians, Danes, Norse, and Svear ( Sweden) were all Germanic tribes that made a big input into 'Great Britain' in adding to the original Britons during the first 'great Migration' between the 5th & 8th century - now it's the time of the second from the Middle East, and Africa, perhaps.

Nearholmer Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 What has happened to "the other thread"? Has it been zapped, or has it just been rendered inaccessible to some of us? And, was there something particular that tipped the balance and caused it to be zapped. I thought that we were "playing nicely". K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You mean there was "The other thread"? Damn I missed it. Was it like 'The Other Stage' at Glastonbury? Maybe we could have an Avalon thread?

Guest Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) I didn't contribute to the "other" thread despite having strong views which are solely my business and of interest to no-one else, but viewed it and thought it was trotting along in a civilized manner. Might I suggest someone hit the "Report" button and uploaded a stinging complaint to the mods? Normally, one or two complaints might lead to a warning or ultimately a lock, but I've never known an entire thread "vanish" before. I make no secret of the fact that I think this forum is no place for "party" politics... labour v conservative etc, and I don't like threads of that nature. They ALWAYS lead to trouble and bad feeling and I've hit the report button myself a few times purely out of personal annoyance. Spoilsport? Whatever. The "other" thread was kinda unique though and I don't remember anyone throwing their virtual toys out of their virtual pram. Curious indeed.

HeeleyBridge Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) All very civilised when I last viewed it, but now it has vanished. What happened? Alas, the weight of my uploaded funny images all landed on one side of the RMWeb server, causing it to list heavily to port. When Andy Y passed by, he rested his coffee cup (he says, but I heard it was a wine glass) on the edge of the genuine fake antique plastic oak chinese server case, This caused the other thread to slip over the edge and into the deepest darkest cyber ocean. No RMwebbers were injured. RIP other thread. And now, back to business as usual. Edited June 26, 2016 by HeeleyBridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickRalph Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I was very disappointed when reading the other thread last night between midnight and 1:00am to find that I couldn't go from page 5 to page 6 and then all pages disappeared. I agree that it was well conducted up to the point I reached in the thread and the mod had indicated that he was aware of the good-natured banter of the thread.

Nearholmer Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) On reading the post above from Heeley Bridge: Hmmmmm. (That was my very deeply sceptical "Hmmmm", as opposed to my thinking for a moment "Hmmmm") Unless a vast cornucopia of images was added after I last looked at the thread, that reason doesn't seem to hold water to me.
