I always had you down as a Thetan.Earlsdonite in Cov (despite not living there since I grew up), Coventrian in West Mids, Midlander in England, English in Britain, British in Europe, European to the rest of the world. If aliens ever turn up I’ll be Earthling (prefer Terran)
British. England and Northern Ireland through parentage and English by birth. Protestant Northern Irish too so I’m officially the most British person here. Support both England and Northern Ireland in the football, England only in Rugby and no one in cricket because it’s a fucking stupid game. When it comes to football I’d have to say England first but Northern Ireland over the last few years have given me the greatest sense of pride. I put this down to Northern Ireland always punching way above their weight and until the last World Cup England being full of over hyped, over payed pre Madonna’s who think they only have to turn up and that’s enough.
That might explain why I like Um Bongo so much.English but we all originate from Africa anyhow.

For me it doesn't seem hard. If the country(/federation/whatever of your choice) were invaded. Would you die in it's defence?Reviving an old topic ...
I consider myself both British and English.
Born in England and both parents and all grand and great-grand parents born in England
But on my father's side, my distant ancestors were all Scottish or Irish.
And now there's another issue; I've lived in the USA longer than I lived in England.
So has my Englishness become diluted? Maybe.
But when I speak, people still ask me where I'm from, so I haven't lost my accent.
And I always reply 'England'.
Also, now that I'm outside Europe, I'm also considering myself European.
So it's European, British and English for me.

And why as 'white' people that in general we crave to gravitate to areas of relative extreme sunlight- be more black?That might explain why I like Um Bongo so much.
Yes...it has to be quiet & proporionate.Used to follow England abroad but got so bored of the no surrender racist English shite..... British and proud of the multicultural nation we have given the world.... Being a Coventry kid just reenforces that view
Oh we are a pretty pathetic bunch abroad. This current generation and my generation would curl up in a ball and cry if a world war erupted around them. I’d like to think that fellow Cov kids would stand up and give it a go.... but in reality we probably wouldn’t. But we would drink beer and sing about kicking off ... I would be anywayYes...it has to be quiet & proporionate.
I really hate the English extreme behaviours of going abroad & bigging-up as the hard-man of Europe. We are nothing of the sort. I think if it came down to bare-knuckle fights bottom to top one of the Eastern Europeans would come out on top...Ukrainian probably. In my experience they generally tend to be bigger & stronger & more ruthless physically. Maybe down to the general history of the place.

Sadly I think nationally you are in a tiny minority in recognising it...& much even tinier minority that would acknowledge it. Consider yourself much further in a positive than what I suspect would be the majorityOh we are a pretty pathetic bunch abroad.

I'd only die in defence of my family. No nation is worth that. I don't owe any nation anything.For me it doesn't seem hard. If the country(/federation/whatever of your choice) were invaded. Would you die in it's defence?
