Welsh, English and Scottish blood in me. But as I was born and raised here in Scotland I'm more likely to sing "Flower of Scotland" than "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" or "Land of My Fathers".

Mr. Whippy · **Reply #31 on:** April 07, 2009, 06:32:02 PM

Why "Swing low sweet chariot?"

Gareth · **Reply #32 on:** April 07, 2009, 06:32:56 PM

Rugby songs.

Could have gone for "Jerusalem" instead.

I am English as far back as I can find.

DaveK · **Reply #34 on:** April 07, 2009, 08:21:02 PM

Me too. And that works just fine for me

Springs420 · **Reply #35 on:** April 07, 2009, 08:23:35 PM

Well I guess I'll add a bit about me. I'm mostly Irish and Dutch, with a wee bit of Scottish and Ukrainian thrown in for good measure.

I have Welsh parents but was born about five miles into England.

Black Rose · **Reply #37 on:** April 07, 2009, 09:47:25 PM

I'm apparently a mix of mainly British and Irish with a touch of German tossed in.

I'm mostly human, but my wife assures me I'm part dog and part pig.

Wives do seem to have the ability to see right through us don't they $:-\$

I attended a wedding two weeks ago in Wales, and the joke de jour, was:

What do you call an Irishman that can't swim?

Answer: Welsh.

I'm predominantly of Welsh and Scottish ancestry...so much so that if I was a soldier on parade in Queen Victoria's army,I couldn't stand beside myself Also a large streak of English with Swiss,Swedish,German,and some Shawnee and Cherokee.
Can a non irish guy wear a kilt? Looks really comfortable and airy
Kilts aren't just for Celts.The only proper requirement is that you have the legs for them

Well then I'm screwed

Being Scottish I'm not sure if I'm offended by the bad accent or not.

Very funny though.

Mine is so dull its unbelievable. As far as I can tell English for several hundred years. Furthest back we've got is Augustine Bee who died in 1589. Its not even as if I have ancestors from all over the British Isles, Augustine was from Hough on the Hill, about ten miles from Newark

As far as i'm aware i'm english back for a good few generations, i could ask my grandma (who is heavily into the family tree) but i don't want to lose 6days of my life as she explains it

Mike · **Reply #50 on:** April 09, 2009, 12:27:49 AM

I think waaaaay back in my lineage my ancestors were from Prussia. But for the most part, I'm just a plain old white guy from the U.S.

Just watch a discovery channel feature, it really blows my mind that we came from one genetic gene pool, doesn't matter if you are from the middle east, asia, america etc we are all related.
