Even more Trump.

There may be 4 years of this.
Try to keep it lighthearted and not snide, please.
It's Christmas.

'Claig, an inability to understand your so-called sense of humour has nothing to do with the nationality of the poster concerned'

Yet that is how I realised that Lweji is not English

"you don't understand some cultural things about England

Like what?"

Lots of reasons, but off topic

If you have time to post song lyrics, I'm sure you can justify your claims.

And you seriously don't know what country I'm from?

BTW, what's your claim to understanding the US?

Lweji · 21/12/2016 15:42

Are you actually claiming that everyone in England shares your sense of humour, claig?

claig · 21/12/2016 15:44

"Its funny, considering he asked Russia to hack a Presidential candidate's emails. Some of which could contain secret material.

(not a joke)"

I am not American, but I have a pretty good understanding of Trump (because we have a shared language and to some extent culture with a huge American movie influence and cultural influence).

It was a joke. Trump jokes all the time, that is why Trump fans love him, he is human and not a spin trained political automaton.

Not at all. Brussels has no sense of humour. But unlike Brussels and Deepan, I knew it meant you weren't English

Hi all,

Again, the reports keep on coming about several folks from both 'side' please just be civil and then we can all enjoy Christmas without zapping threads or banning folks.

No personal attacks and have a bit of thought about your tone, we know these threads can be emotive and opinions can vary dramatically but we do think that debate is possible without breaking guidelines.

Thanks all and Merry Christmas

"If you have time to post song lyrics, I'm sure you can justify your claims."

Song lyrics are beautiful and poetic, snide comments from you are not beautiful, so I can't be bothered to get into a long sidetrack full of snide remarks explaining why I realised you weren't English. I did and it was true, that's enough

And you seriously don't know what country I'm from?

No, is it secret?

BTW, what's your claim to understanding the US?

As I said, shared language, shared history to some extent, shared culture to some extent, shared customs to some extent, and huge influence of American culture, movies, music, freedoms, newspapers and information from fanatstic free American thinkers on all our lives.

Wir sind alle Amerikaner and danken Gott fur es und fur Donald J Trump oder Drumpf

Viva Senor Trump

We luffs you and we luffs freedom

But I don't see any humour in your "jokes", claig, and nor do many people. The endless repetition of the same mantras is incredibly tedious, and a lot of it is childish ("vewy vewy" - I rest my case). Do you think none of us are English?

Lweji · 21/12/2016 15:56

I meant I wasn't joking. It was a serious question.

Are you saying that I don't share your language?

I share the same movie culture, both American and English, I speak the same language,

Have you even been to America? Lived there?

BertrandRussell · 21/12/2016 15:56

Why would anyone report anyone/anything on this thread? Why?????????

Lweji · 21/12/2016 15:57

It's not hard, I've not hidden it.

Good question.

Hillary 'teh shill' was so overconfident she would win. Donald being the businessman spent less money... and won

No brakes on the Trump Train

Censorship from the left

claig · 21/12/2016 16:01

'Do you think none of us are English?'

Of course not. You are Englishh and you don't like my humour. That's fine - millions would not agree with you, apart from Blair.

Blair certainly doesn't see the funny side, I wouldn't be surprised if he is the one doing all the reporting

DeepanKrispanEven · 21/12/2016 16:01

Not according to MN - and Bertrand.

DeepanKrispanEven · 21/12/2016 16:01

Sorry, that related to the comment about censorship from the left.

DeepanKrispanEven · 21/12/2016 16:03

Right, you accept that people can be English and not share your sense of humour, but because Lweji doesn't share your sense of humour, you realised she isn't English. Can you see any logical disconnect there, claig?

Give up believing all this hacking nonsense

claig · 21/12/2016 16:07

'Are you saying that I don't share your language?'

No, I said you didn't understand some cultural things about England that are very subtle, that is how I knew you weren't English. It is not an insult, Donald J Trump is not English and won't understand them either

'Have you even been to America? Lived there?'

I have been there, never lived there, but I don't have to live there t undertand that Trump was joking when he told Russia to hack or to predict that Trump would win because I understand the populist rebellion that is happening all over Europe and America and which started to some extent in England under Nigel Farage.

It is the same human spirit wish to be free, which is why Arron Banks say "facts don't matter", this was about the human spirit and emotions not Blairite spin which s why that PPE can never win again however many hand gestures they train him to do by rewarding him with peanuts when he learns them right.

None at all. You are British and don't like my humour, I never said you were not Britsih or Brussels, but I rightly knew that Lweji wasn't for that reason.

I'm clearly out with the jargon.

I had to look up why the constant use of "teh".

According to the Urban Dictionary:

An expression used by idiots to helpfully identify themselves to other idiots.
Idiot 1: That's awesome.
Idiot 2: Wait, what?
Idiot 1: Uh, I mean, that's "TEH" awesome!
Idiot 2: Oh, thank god! For a second there I thought I wasn't talking to another idiot!
Idiot 1: "PNWED"!
by Moses Maybe September 16, 2005

So, quite old (2005 at least).
I hang my head in shame for not knowing about it. (that's a joke)

This may explain why I'm not familiar:

Deliberate typo error of "The". used in online gaming discussion
Redknob am teh ghey
by MajikShoe November 23, 2002

The (teh?) following explanation doesn't make much sense, particularly as the first word is misspelled as well

Orginally started off as a typo for "the", but recently has changed a bit in meaning. "Teh" still means "the", however, it is mostly used in the same manner that spanish speaking people use the word "El".
"I got two cookies with teh whipped cream!" makes sense, but "I got two cookies with the whipped cream!" doesn't. Get what I mean?

"No, I said you didn't understand some cultural things about England that are very subtle, that is how I knew you weren't English"

Could you give an example?

'Why would anyone report anyone/anything on this thread? Why?????????'

Sir Bob? I didn't mention him, but I think another poster may have mentioned him disrespectfully
