I think we've seen similar results from people wandering through FST...

[Funkin']

My vote goes to MorbidAngel.

[IdolEyes787]

Clearly this poll was complied by Nazis as I see a suspiciously high number of Aryan types at the top.

Also the populous of some those lower ranking countries are highly armed and so probably have no need for English to get their message across,racist.

[OlegL]

I think we've seen similar results from people wandering through FST...

Wtf are you implying? Are you saying that FST Norwegians are much more likely to speak good English than FST Turks?

[megabyteme]

I think we've seen similar results from people wandering through FST...

Wtf are you implying? Are you saying that FST Norwegians are much more likely to speak good English than FST Turks?

I'll take Snee. Go find your best Turk, and we'll have them fight.

[OlegL]

Snee is a Norwegian?

[mjmacky]

I actually wonder where U.S. would score.

[mjmacky]

I think between Germany and Malaysia.

[megabyteme]

I actually wonder where U.S. would score.

When I saw the headline, that is the first thing that came to mind. I was a bit bummed they excluded native speaking countries.

[megabyteme]

Snee is a Norwegian?

My mistake. He's apparently Swedish based on this poast:


It's our national day, so I had a day off work. True story.


National Day of Sweden (Sveriges nationaldag) is a national holiday observed in Sweden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden) on the 6th of June every year.

[Proper Bo]

Snee's from japan, ffs

[megabyteme]

Snee's from japan, ffs

Then he falls to 14th place, but I'll still fight him against Oleg's best Turk. :01:

[Quarterquack]

Grief your ass squeezed, bitches.

[Artemis]

Manker's welsh, so he's horribly disadvantaged as well. :idunno:

[manker]

I'm pretty sure Wales would pwn the Norwegians in whatever an EPI is :snooty:

[megabyteme]

Manker's welsh, so he's horribly disadvantaged as well. :idunno:

They ranked 47th on the survey.

[manker]

There probably aren't even that many countries in the world so gtfo of my Wales is good thread, pinko.

[megabyteme]

There probably aren't even that many countries in the world so gtfo of my Wales is good thread, pinko.

Regardless, you beat Darth Sissy, whatevar she is. :console:

[Artemis]

Manker's welsh, so he's horribly disadvantaged as well. :idunno:

They ranked 47th on the survey.

They would have ranked higher if the interviewer didn't have to keep wiping all the spit off. :blink:

[OlegL]

I think we've seen similar results from people wandering through FST...

What you said was a sweeping overgeneralization. How the fuck would you know what language FST people can speak well and what language they can speak poorly? I think you intentionally tried to insult a lot of FST people.

Rather, it's a sweeping evaluation. Do you not see the many posters' abuse of English here, Oleg? Present company not excluded.

[manker]

Wtf has happened with the Oleg<3mbm relationship.
They were all 'me and you against the harsh fst world, baby' about two months ago.

===

[clocker]

How the fuck would you know what language FST people can speak well and what language they can speak poorly? I think you intentionally tried to insult a lot of FST people.
Precisely.
I can speak many languages so poorly that natives might claim I'm not speaking it at all.
It's an art, really.

It was really aimed at you, you silly Jew. Jewrooslum didn't even make the lisp. :snooty:

To the betterment of the community at large it stopped short of mbm3=DgelO.

Pretty sure that was only because of geographical distance inhibitors but we must be grateful for small mercies.

[manker]

That's a bit harsh.

Unless you're flirting with him.

[IdolEyes787]

It was really aimed at you, you silly Jew. Jewrooslum didn't even make the lisp. :snooty:

Fuck you.

Don't curse,be a man and challenge him to an Indian wrestling match.

[manker]

Fuck you.

Don't curse,be a man and challenge him to an Indian wrestling match.I think you've just rumbled mbm's evil genious plan.
Whistle blower.

[megabyteme]

Fuck you.

If you weren't from New York, I'd accuse you of copy and pasting that.

[mjmacky]

"Fuck you", that's genuine social interaction. You never see anyone post that on an internet board anymore.

[megabyteme]

Hey, where did Kyle go?

116314

[TheFoX]

I am surprised that the US of A wasn't featured, since their nation language is Redneckspeek. Mind you, they'd probably be ranked last, because their grasp of English is diabolical at best, and utterly pathetic at worst.

And what the fuck is English(US)? English is English you fucking Microsoft twats!!!

There are two english languages because the British didn't keep their shit together and let one of their rabble rousing colonies run amok, that they were simultaneously fighting another war with the French made things interesting, but still they got their head handed to them on a plate. So they had to pack up their bat and ball and go home leaving geography,time,social mores and rednecks to create the merkin version.

I look at the variations differently.

UK English
North American English
Oceanic English
Indian English
South African English
Caribbean English
etc.

Imperialism is my point.

Aluminium. :happy:

*btw wtf oceanic english?

I was trying to find a way to group NZ and Australia together. I originally went with South Pacific, but wasn't sure if they made too much sense. Oceania is a thing, right?

[manker]

Yeah, of course.
I knew what you meant right away :idunno:

[junglebook]

:ermm:

[manker]

:ermm:
Mary is usually pretty obscure and, to compound matters, hard of getting it.
It was a minor victory and I think your smiley might sully the moment for her, somewhat.

Yeah Oceania is a 'thing' I just dislike being lumped in with Australia. :naughty:

[mjmacky]

Yeah Oceania is a 'thing' I just dislike being lumped in with Australia. :naughty:

Well it was a bit underhanded, I admit. That's it, I'm just going to admit it, I'm not taking it back or anything. :appropriatesmiley:

I think the world as I know it would stop and time would begin to go back backwards if you actually took anything back so you are operating completely on form.

Actually if you will permit me a segue though, as I was driving around today my GPS unit reminded me of this conversation. Why you may ask? Well my GPS is a Navman and the voices in it are Australian, the illiterate ozzie slapper inside my very expensive GPS cannot pronounce the local place names even remotely closely and stumbles over them in an irritating high pitched nasal ozzie twang, which made the lumping together of New Zealand and Australia particularly poignant and irritating today.

Well actually we won a brand spanking new top of the range barbie in a competition last week,all alloy 6 burner + side element, electric rotisserie, gas bottle, and even a cover for it :D so there are some up sides to my life.

Nice one :happy:

But don't you think that they're cheating? Whenever I have a bbq (which is basically when I get made to attend the one happening in my back garden, since I don't eat meat), we just use a disposable foil tray that's filled with charcoal and bought for £3.
We got given one of those behemoths that you describe but it's just like a massive cooker on wheels and I just figure you may as well cook in the kitchen and bring the food out when it's done.

At which point, sadly you have now lost me, it's late, I'm now confused on the 'thing' and will just happily wander along in complete ignorance of Beef Supreme. :blink:

[manker]

What word didn't you understand? I can draw pictures if it would help?

No, I understood what you said, but I was wondering why such a thing exists. I have this client who has a mobile home that he uses a couple of times a year, which cost more than the actual home I moved out of last autumn.
He probably has one of these gigantic barbies.

There are lawn mowers with roll-bars and log splitters and all sorts of expensive man toys on that site.
It almost makes me wish I didn't have a man-servant who takes care of that kind of thing.

Yes Masport do make alot of man toys, now back to the barbie, it's the middle of winter here so not exactly ideal bbq weather, it's been one of the worst winters on record so far in actual fact so no, no I'm not standing outside for even a short period of time and pretending. Which sealed the fate of the barbie, now personally I would have loved nothing more than to have stored that bad boy away for spring, but no..... practicality reared it's ugly head and beat that dream to death. There was a 'meeting' to 'discuss' what 'we' should do with the barbecue, it didn't go well for the man team.....:sadwalk:

That's awful news.

You'll know the next time you win a gigantic robot bbq that you'd better hide that fucker in one of the barns and then, one hot summer's day, crack it up and fill your missus' mouth with succulent sausage before she can ask from whence it came.

[megabyteme]

Manker doesn't eat meat, and Art gives up his badass BBQ without a fight. Don't you both look darling in your skirts. :pinch:

[manker]

I'd make some joke about you being a kept man, but I'm worried you'll be packing heat at the upcoming fst re-union and might shoot me in the face after a couple of Appletinis.
