Life's a rum do, and there's nawt s' queer as folk.
- Pied Piper - (Immutable Truths thread)

Also:

"I don't really feel nationalistic at all, but actually feel like a Islander from our archipeligo, with all it's rich history reaching back to the last ice age."
That about sums up my attitude to belonging to these green islands in the grey North Sea.
Sadly a lot of people here define themselves by what they are not i.e. Sheep-shagging Welsh, tight-fisted haggis eating Scots and lots of much more offensive racial stereotypes applied to the "other".
As an example of my belonging here I regularly eat "wild" food; this year the Cherries were particularly plentiful and tasty and the blackberries (which my family collected in my childhood) were the best for years.
I belong because I'm part of the ecosystem which previous inhabitants created and gives us all Life.

I like the way he put that.
