No, the English were conquered by the Vikings. Till a Norman (Frenchman?) drove them out and took over. So the English are Scandanavian, French and American (from the last invasion-1942 to 1945).

First were the Picts, then the Celts, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Danes, Normans (who were descended from the Norse, hence Nor-), then some Huguenots, A Dutchman, a German, then the West Indians, the Ugandan Asians, other Asians and them some Hong Kong Chinese.

And you thought America wa made up of immigrants.

intricate part of the game.

Good old wiki. Do they mean integral?

Normans are actually decendants of Vikings too. Nor(d)man = North man in danish. Vikings settled in Normandy, and got called normans as they kinda came from up north. Sadly this means norwegieans are called northmen(nordmænd) in danish too, but then life isnt perfect. Hope Terje doesnt read this.... Any how he is prolly still drunk along with the rest of them. Winning over Portugal tuesday in soccer, get the better of them fast. Guess 1000 years of national wide low self esteem kinda have that effect on ppl. Since its only 700 years of continues defeats to DK we still got a bit before we get hit by the full brunt of that effect.
Said in short during the 800-1100 brits got fucked over by vikings in different disguises, but ok we can call normans french as they kinda came from there as of todays borders.
No sure how ill convience u that americans are in reality vikings too... other than Erik the Red actually discovered it way before Colombus. This is the danish national past time btw, trying to convience every body they in reality are danes and it would be a much better world if ppl just recogniese that!

Any how ill cheer against the vikings in 4 hours time, on the telly. Ahh football season is on, this is life.

Wow! I hadn't realized how many times you chaps were conquered. [:'(] Trying to give Sicily a run for the money then?

Everyone up to and including William the Bastard were gate-crashers. Eveyone else had an invitation.

I'm technically 3/4 Celtic I suppose (1/4 Cornish, 1/4 Scottish, 1/4 Welsh [[:(]], 1/4 English). But until there's a Celtic international (not that rabble from Glasgow before anyone says anything) team I'm English [:D]

Sports teams of some category? I know Saints are Southampton, but who are the Vikings? A Danish team? Why are the Americans watching a European football match between a Danish team and a load of Southerners? [&:]

<sigh> i guess i figure if all the soccer (football) stuff is in here during the world cup, then a little american football stuff can't hurt, right? [:(]

PS - New Orlean Saints versus Minnesota Vikings of the american NFL (National Football League)...tonight is season opener...

Looks like Dixie has another one on the line..... [:D]

Teasing Americans is fun [:D]

And easy!

Almost as easy a Brits![:D]

Hey, low expectations avoid disappointment!

A theme i plan on embracing for this year's Seattle Seahawks.

Wise plan. The Seahawks aren't . . . um . . . good.

It's a wise theme for life in general. [:'(]
