multi-nationals..

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

multi-nationals..

i.e. like me, my dad's side is entirely korean.. my mum's dad came over from china, my mum's mum's malaysian.. makes me.. 1/2 korean, 1/4 malaysian, 1/4 chinese..

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

My Mum's Dad'd family came from Ireland (they left in 1846, during the Famine), her Mum's family was Scottish, and my dad is English. I consider myself English. People who say that they are Purely English, are talking out of their Butts, for England has been Invaded some many times throughout History, that most English people are part something

99-99.5% Han Chinese, although my eye colour suggests I may have some Turkic blood in me, somewhere. THAT must've been a LONG time ago, since my family record goes back to 1100-1200 AD, and nowhere does it say that a turkish guy married one of my ancestors. Very far back....

Post Mon May 12, 2003 8:13 pm

I'm a full blooded Dutchman.
Blue eyes and blond hair
No other nationalities untill very far in the past, many many generations ago.

Post Mon May 12, 2003 8:44 pm

I'm English, half South-African (sorry Starshock I'm Irish-south african, no dutchman in me ). There's also a little Italian in me and my grandfather (on my English mother's side) was a Welshman.
Oh and to top it off I have a Canadian passport as well as my British one
(my mother lived and worked there ofr seven years at one point)

Post Mon May 12, 2003 9:50 pm

but I'm 1/4 frysian [free-sijan 1/4 brabantian [bra-bant-sjian and half
a northern hollander

Post Mon May 12, 2003 10:26 pm

100% Dutch, just like Unilever
