Eldest Son has German nationality, and lives in Germany. So far so Teutonic. However he's half Japanese; and if that isn't enough was actually born in Bavaria.

Except it's on the Swabian side of the old border.

I'm not sure how we should classify him. Possibly as 'confused'...

Oh, and he also has Welsh ancestry...

A bit like me then...

I am British; I was born a Cockney, raised a Gooner and am now a fenland gal. But... I am half Belgian, a quarter German and a quarter Polish by ancestry. If that's not mixed up, then I don't know what is.

All sounds very American. If someone asked me what nationality I was, I would have to say Unique. Irish, English Scottish, Welsh, with Dutch thrown in for good measure, because my fathers' family has been here so long. Mother's side was Bavarian, maybe Yorkshire, some Scandinavian, maybe a bit of the Middle East, North Africa thrown in for good measure.

Typical American.
Regardless of representations made by others.

When asked for my race on a job application many years ago, when they still asked that, I put down Bicycles.

105 years ago they'd have been the same thing, legally. As for Yorkshire...

I think the Irish side of the family got transported after the English Civil War. Monarch over Parliament sort of thing, I guess.

Had to jump start the car today. It doesn't get much use.

I had a lovely aberdeen angus burger for lunch. I am still not very hungry.

Normally £1.30 each off the counter, they were marked down to 65p. Much nicer than any offering from any of the burger houses, I had mine in a wholemeal roll with fried onions, mustard and ketchup.

Worth every penny and then some.

Now Leclerc... And he gets away with only a "naughty boy" flag...

TWAS bordering on a bit more, but I think it was more "Oi don't do that again" flag

Beer, pizza and now more beer

Too much pizza....

Just seen it on C4 - still think Charles is a lucky boy. According to current rules, that should've been a slam dunk. I think his saving grace was the fact that the escape road was there. But this weekend, the stewards have been consistently inconsistent.

Trouble is, it's Ferrari at Monza...

If Charles would have been penalized and lost the win, the poor stewards would have been lynched...

I thought Derek Warwick was one of your hero's?

He is. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with him.
