Nerd English Culture - What is it? (482* d) RE: English Culture - What is it? 26 Dec 08


I don't think Diane was actually being racist in the post involving the 1290 expulsion of the Jews from England. I suspect she was worried that Jews objected to being called English, in the same way an Irish immigrant might, as I said before. But as I also pointed out, this is not the case, and many English Jews would in fact be offended to be considered anything other than English.

Lox is right about the rest, though. Diane has painted herself into a corner, because she has a hard time admitting she is wrong about anything. So she is flailing rather desperately now, trying to suggest that a post of Lox's from the distant past invalidates his argument now.

So why was she eager to delve into the past and find the post in the first place, but unwilling to do so again and provide us with a link? Because Lox did not object to the song "ha'va hangover," at least not in the thread I saw. In fact, the entirety of Lox's post was:

"Who's seen priscilla queen of the desert?

Annoying people with headaches the morning after the night before has never been such fun.

'Ha'va hangover...etc'

(best accompanied with any detuned percussion instrument) "


It sounds to me as though Lox enjoyed the scene in question.
