It's Black Friday again this Friday.

Don't forget the fucking Romans

Er, trouble is, we kind of beat the shit out of the ourselves who lost to the Romans (who then became us) when we replaced ourselves with Anglo-Saxon us, before losing to ourselves again when the Vikings came over, then beating our Viking selves when we created England, then losing to ourselves when the French came over in 1066.

Being English is not easy you know.

Except they weren't French but Normans, or North men, but your point still stands.

That's because they beat the shit out of the French Celts, and the French Romans and the French Franks, to become French, while at the same time some of them becoming English, who a couple of centuries later went to beat the crap out of the French. Albeit they lost.

They also beat the shit out of the French French as well. I thought we had it bad for them!
