    Nationality doesn't necessarily work like taxonomy, surely?

    I distinctly recall learning that being born in this here country makes one an Onglay. I'm pretty sure we have two or three gentlemen here from Irish racing stock who were born in England yet self-define as Englishers.

    Who could you mean? It is an odd saying, true, but I guess the point is nationality is to a certain point a matter of choice. One can choose to be English or Irish or Dutch should one have a certain lineage, one cannot choose to be a horse if one desired

    I have always taken a much simpler view on this.

    Your nationality is where you are born, simple enough. You can choose to follow your family heritage etc and look upon yourself as otherwise but if you are born in England for example you are English.

    This is not meant to antagonise or show disrespect to anybody.

    Citizenship then different innit.

    Now, I was born in England.

    I did won of those DNA profiley, ancestory things

    Turns out I'm mainly of Lithuanian, German and Polish stock.

    From the ancestory side of things I can't find any Johnny Foreigners in my bloodline apart from one German woman who came across to England in the 1920's. The European gene game is strong, imo.

    May I take this opportunity to announcement my retirement from international football : DieMannschaft:
    “Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”

    Essentially you are a fúcking gippo.

    As before, no disrespect etc.

    What if you are born on a plane or a ship in international waters?

    Aircraft. Aeroplane. If you fly it, 'the jet' is acceptable.

    I'd argue it's where you spend your formative years. Cliff Richard was born in India, but the cünt's not Indian, is he?

    A person born on a plane can be called an aircraft?
