Gaul Charlemagne Catholic Celt Caledonia Anatolia Gael

and a little one

Angle Scotia Maori Zeeland


and a distant relative in the middle east. She has trouble at times but never asks me for help.

And I have only seen her a few times in passing over the last 2000 years, but that seems to be because of her busy life.


: what are your hobbies?

I like poetry, religion, art, investment and politics. And a dram, should I win a victory.

I'm a daughter of the Church, you know, (laughs) but everyone has their problems.

: What do you mean?

Well, I'm in a trial separation at the moment and it's not going well. He is boorish and reckless and we just don't fit. I don't feel we are helping anyone and we're only hurting ourselves. I am full of fight, but he fights with people I don't have a quarrel with, like a drunk throwing punches at his own shadow. I am exasperated with him. I am not rich in taste. I do not say to him buy me land. All I say is to shelter, feed, clothe, educate and employ me, but sometimes I now think I would be better off just doing this myself. I was independent for most of my life and I don't need subjection to him. I have some money even though … can we stop? It's too upsetting.

Camera stops}!


fade back in :Alba composes herself from tears}!

He ruined me! I was the best at investment and Finance for many a year.


: tell me about your sisters....... E'ire Norge

I don't see them as much as I would like but I suppose I see them quite often. E'ire is always close, and I often see Norge and think 'I could be that happy, ... if I hadn't married him'. Norge is always laughing to herself. I have no idea why. (smiles)

: and your second cousin. She is ages with you ... is that correct?

We were best friends for many years. We used to dream saying, 'we could make paradise on earth and we would call it Caledonia'. She's full of grace and splendour, and shares the same poetic soul as myself. She loves to love and has a bit of fight in her herself (laughs) . She is very charitable too!

She sometimes likes my other Cousin, but honestly Gaul should look harder at that consuming monster (Americana). I have ate a few fish suppers in my time but I'm nothing like Her ... I don't think Americana lives right, although she is very quick to tell everyone she 'is right all the time'. 'Americana's way', well it wouldn't do for me. I would go about vexed all the time, and then I'm just looking for a fight. Gaul is different ... like me in battles ... we choose our fights and then only fight evil. I remember when she asked me for help when were both broke, six years of fighting, but we still won. (fond smile)


: what happened? (flow straight no stopping}!

I got greedy in life. It is a true regret of mine.

Alba starts to break down with tears}!all one flow}!

I lost my mind for a split second and married him. There's more ... not 10 years thence I warred with Her. How shameful am I. It was money, even in truth I was in two minds about it, and I wish I had listened to my gut. I thought after I married him my doubts would go away but they never did. I always secretly knew.

: and of your hobbies?

I write Poetry renowned the world over. Not for a wee while, but I keep my hand in. I love God. I am a liar before Him but not anyone else. I try my hardest not to lie to myself and I hope I do a good job.

Money is a sore topic with me just now so can we avoid that for just now?. But I used to know what I was doing. (glum half smile)

I am still good with either paintbrush or play. Although ... I wish I could create new buildings like I used to. That's been over 100 years, I need to 'brush up'. (laughs) I used to like making my own cloths but he put a stop to that. Maybe I could have copied Gaul.. I don't know.

:do your Cousins share your interests?

I suppose we all like politics. I haven't heard from Kernow for a few years, but the last time was a fond memory. She was telling me how she would like a separation like me ... it was good to see her happy again ... has that been ten years? How time flies but never stops...

:fade to black}!

2. Canada Caledonia Gaul Angle Americana Gael

:What's your name?

French accent]!

Canada Caledonia Gaul Angle Americana Gael

: Do you have any family?

Yes, I have two Mothers and one Father, Their names are:
Alba Caledonia Scotia Dál Riata Anatolia Gael
Gaul Charlemagne Catholic Celt Caledonia Anatolia Gael
My Father is
Angle Jerusalem Ally Roman Hanover Saxon Britannia

My sister is:
Americana Angle Freedom Scotia Columbia HymnsongBlues Righteous HalfMoon Avalon Magnificent Imperialis


But sadly, my parents do not call her daughter any longer, she warred with our Father and my Mother Alba says she often ashamed of her, so they call her 'cousin' even though it is a kind lie. is she disowned? in truth partially, I think our parents would love her again if she didn't start so many fights and make so much blood. Well that's what they say, I think she has a point.. but don't tell my Parents I said that!

My half cousin is :

Groenland Inuit Thorvaldsson Americana Martin Norge Scania

She barely talks to me except to say 'hi'.. but even just with that I know we get along well. Her Father is nice to me.. even though in past we have a tiff.Oh and my little Brother!

Angle Scotia Maori Zeeland

He's just a little baby, and I don't see him often, but my Mother Alba Visits him and so does my Father. They both love him very much! But last I heard he didn't want to know them because they are talking about a divorce.

:What do you think of your parents? all three..

Well, my Father is a very righteous man and I listen to any law he has for me. He provided for me for many years.. that reminds me I did not pay him back for that! But he never seems fussed about it, always kind to me, ask how I am and sending me nice letters. My mother Alba does not like to hear this! oh She wants good things for me, but when it comes to my Father, he has hurt her heart too many times! Did you know my Mother is a genius renowned the world over? She says even so.. genius.. all he wanted was the money. no work for her! only money! I love my Father.. but even I think she has a point. Why? cause anyone can see he did not give her work (This is Canada echoing the words spoken to her by Alba). Don't tell my Father I said that!

My Mother Gaul is always disapproving of me, I say to her 'What did I do Mother?'.. She has very high standards, unfortunately for me, I can't help but listen to her, I keep thinking in the back of my mind that she is right somehow. She has so many good qualities I want for myself, how on earth did she get them? When Alba comes to visit me, she is always friendly to me, when Gaul comes to visit, she tells me off.


: what are your hobbies?

I like sports, politics, liberal arts, culture and Whisky. I like to survival trek too.

I am learning about investment like my mother Alba.. it is very hard.. I have some monies, and am hard working.. so you think it would be easier. :frown:

I am pretty and rugged, but do not wish to marry coz in secret i love my Father, not in a odd way, just I don't think there is man of measure like him. Don't tell my mothers I said that.. in fact don't tell anyone. :red face:

:What do you think of your sister Americana?

I look up to her often, but she is a little rude to me sometimes.. but sisters jape, this is true, i know in secret she loves me very very much. even though she makes fun of me for my french/scottish accent. We have fun sometimes with ice sports, it makes me very happy!.. i think in truth i am a happy person.. in honestly i think she is not, sad to say.. she is always fighting and while i can see her point of the fight.. why does she do it so often?

:What are your goals for the future?

peace, love, understanding and beat americana in ice sports :laughs:

:Thank you for your time

Most welcome monsieur.

:What's your name?

Broad American accent with slight southern twang]

:My name is;

Americana Angle Freedom Scotia Columbia HymnsongBlues Righteous HalfMoon Avalon Magnificent Imperialis

I am the example to the world of Imperialism, good sir.

: Do you have any family?

Yes, I have seven Mothers and two Fathers, Their names are:
Alba Caledonia Scotia Dál Riata Anatolia Gael

Espania Sangria-De-James Catholico Grenada Arabi Majestad Imperio Iberia

Japon Eternal Go-Shichi no Kiri Ainu Jomon Yayoi Pureland Edo Wajin Americana Asiatic
Koryo Hushilla Gyeongju Seoul Americana Asiatic

: You seem to have a large family!

Yes, but still, I have had strained relations with some and outstanding relations with others.

: What do you mean?

Well sir, even though I rebelled against my Father Angle Britannia, He has supported me many times and I He in certain endeavours of peaceful and profitable action. But I hear Alba is thinking about leaving him, and He has decided to cut ties with His Friends, some of whom I am related to! I was not entertained by the expressions of separation and reduced potential profit, from either or both of them.

When Alba visits me, she comes to tell me that I am *somehow* wrong in my endeavours. I love Her, she is my Mother, I respect Her, She has fortitude and cunning in invention I admire in my utmost core, however, I did not only rebel against my Father but Her also, that she often thinks to instruct me in Democracy and War. I realize She was present at My birth and made sure I had a choice, but then I need to be what I am expected to be; an example of profitability to the world, even though She sees me as an explorer and artist, I am not these things centrally, but externally.

E'ire is softer in tone than Alba, but says similar things, but I expect this because they are twins. I enjoy helping E'ire, I cannot say the same about Alba. The things I do for Alba is because I know she is a genius, and I respect that so much I cannot help myself. And I hope one day to have that same trait. It does not diminish my love for Her.. only that I enjoy Her company the most when she is with my Father. She wrote me a letter telling me, in Her own poetic way, She disapproves of my two party state. The reason I have my democracy this way, is that it is the most profitable. She decries it as apathy, ..but so be it! I want to rule, and so it shall be!


: what are your hobbies?

:laughs:

Oh my! good sir!.. I have so many I find them hard to count!!

I am an entertainer of the world in every Art, I explore space itself, I love Fashion.. and of course technology & culture.

I am told that I make bad food that tastes good :laughs: much like one of my Mothers!!
I enjoy a Bourbon Whiskey, a beer and much sporting.
I enjoy to play against Canada in ice sports, and against Mexicana at Soccer.
I think I win almost all the time :laughs:

: Is it true you have contentions with Mexicana?

No sir, I do not. But.. it is true I do not like how She looks at me jealously at times.
I think our relationship is fine so long as she stays where She should. We also have a great time, we enjoy partying together in the sun! :smiles:


: May I ask you a bracing question?

Yes sir, I think you may.

: it was revealed to the world you lied about a great man who died (JFK). What do you say about this?

In life, I am not perfect, I think many people are not. I have at times had to defend people I wished i did not have to, for the sheer fact they are unworthy of Me, that man dying was the third greatest shame of my life. And yet.. I know i cannot guarantee that it will not happen again. All I can do is hide the facts so that people will not notice it as much and perhaps I can move on with my shame and forget.

:Thank you for your time Americana


Why sir, no, thank you for empowering My voice!

: Merci beucoup, please will you tell me about them?

De rien, oui :half smile:

Canada, I love her, but she is always going around like there is no tomorrow, she cares more for hiking and ice sports than wearing nice clothes! That girl displeases me, always whispering about how good Angles laws are, she thinks I can't hear her! but I do hear her, monsieur. A pretty girl like her should look nice, I caught her wearing a 'flannel shirt' whatever that is, last year.

: [big smile] Did you scold her?

Bien entendu! She needs to learn how to make her own clothes that girl.

:And your other daughters and adopted daughters?

One of my adopted daughters makes me laugh so! She is always in a bad mood with me then changes her mind, Algérie, then she says 'please Mother I am sorry for fighting with you, can I have a little money?' And as a good Mother I look after her encore :kind smile:, because what do you do.. but love your children?

: your sister and half sisters?

Ah, oui, I and my half sisters have a strong relationship, I talk to them very often, et de ma soeur Belgique, you see, she is.. how do i say kindly, she is little, but with a voice that causes calm, she has a voice ten times her size and I am very proud of her :huge smile: . She loves peace, and in this I admire her.

: your cousins?

I do not see them often these days, It was because some turmoil came up long ago, I am still sad to think on it.

: What do you mean?

Ah, monsieur.. A long time ago my second cousins and I were one, we lived happy lives, and even after the Romans invaded, we became close again, except Angle wanted to rule us all, we did not want this, or so I thought, Alba was my best friend.. :sadness:

:What happened?

She married Angle..

She broke my heart! I even waited on her until 1920 hoping she would see sense and return! I refused to believe so I waited for 200 years, like the story of the woman in the dusty wedding dress.. my best friend!

When I sent our Daughter Americana a statue to wave in English faces, I secretly knew it would please Alba, but still she did not return. :tears welling up:

She even warred with me and I forgave her, but leaving me waiting so long.. this I cannot forgive!

I am Gaul.. it is my first name and my last.. but we are not an empire!.. we care and love each other, as even the same person.. oh my heart aches to think on her squandering us!!

: Why do you say that, wasn't it Cymru, who first empowered Angle?

Monsieur, if even Alba, whom the Romans could not beat, succumbed to Angles money, then Cymru would have eventually given in anyway. But we knew Cymru was like that, she liked being open and travelling, but Alba.. Alba is/was indestructible, or so we thought. I hoped Eire would talk her out of it, but She had her own fight I suppose.. eventually, I just.. accepted Angles help and co-operation, then it seemed normal, I mean He helped me a lot during the World War, so I just faced up to the reality, She's not coming back and the happiness we had, all of us, is gone. Besides, it's not like I am married to Him, I am free to come and go as I please, why cry over 300 year old split milk? non, J'ai la dignité.

Am I to make war with Him should She decide to resume Her freedom?..non.

:Is this why Americana not share your last name?

Oh! Ça alors! First, She has many Mothers, but other reasons.. Alba, Eire and I named her 'Freedom', she actually has four last names, Iberia Scania Saxon Gael, but she warred with Angle and Espania, Alba wasn't actually bothered that she warred with Angle, but when She caused blood with people who did not deserve it, Alba took away Americana's last name.. even recently I told Americana, 'Please Daughter do not make more war!' but as ever She just ignored me. She's not like us, she makes blood for money and so I stayed silent when Alba took her name away.

: Merci beaucoup pour votre temps.

Monsieur salut , you have tired me out! :kind smile:

: [laughs]

7. Cymru Gwynedd Deheubarth Powys Brythion Gael

:Hullo, What's your name?

Hullo, my name is
Cymru Gwynedd Deheubarth Powys Brythion Anatonia Gael
alrightbi! (nice to meet you)

: yes (smiles) do you have any family?

Yes, I have many family me, they are all ortoo political minded, I'm just learning coz my husband did that for much o' my modern life see?

:what do you mean?

Well. Before I was married, I was just having a laugh havin fun right? I let Gaul or Alba do most of the fighting, oh I *can* chop with the best o' them when ah'm tampin'..but it never appealed to me really. Back then we were 'the Gaullic Nations' there wasn't any 'England' and I owned half the land, then the Romans came and give us all a right slap except Alba who managed *somehow* to fight them off! That still kind of scares me bein honest.. how did she take on an whole empire?? To look at her she's only a wend of a thing, well she was back then..oh! I didn't mean how that sounded! I think she's a handsome girl her..oh! I'm just makin' it worse here!.. Anyhoo, then the Romans left and we started to form again, Gaul was sure we were going to be our nations again but then there was the remaining Romans and the Saxons came back and then suddenly we had a new gentlemen next door! fancy that!


I dunno what everyone's problem is.. a handsome man moves in next door and everyone just about loses their minds, what's wrong with rich and charming? Did i miss something? Tidy says I, but I *am* glad Alba is talking to me again, that was ages that last time, but once I showed a bit o' love for the old independance she seemed to perk right up.

I enjoy a bit of travel me.. I founded our colony of Galatia y'know? in the Anatolian mountains, we'd all go there for our holidays..  bit o' trade..love a bit o' sun me.

Oh listen to me chap on like a little parrot.. what did you ask again?

: (smiles with slight laugh) who are your family?

yes..

:please tell me about them

Ah! Well.. we all used to be a Kingdom of Nations see? like the UK is a Kingdom of Countries.. hold on! I think I have an old map around by somewhere...?

                                                       
                                                           

You see how we used to be right? Well.. I have often wondered why the others are a bit angry about doin' the same thing with Angle..but then again I know how right tampin' Eire was at Angle coz He wouldn't leave her alone.. so maybes I'm in the wrong, right enough. And again.. Alba never was.. 100% about Him. He tried it on with Gaul too.. He is a *one* so He is!.. hmm now I think about it Gaul wasn't too happy about that either..

I mean I'm not vicious hearted .. just love a bit o' peace me. Not that Eire, Alba and Gaul *are*..nooo I don't mean that.. it's just I'm friendly yknow? I can't be bothered with all that running around fightin with people when I'd rather bein' havin' fun or relaxin' weh some cheese on toast and a cuppa..it's never really been me..I didn't go to the middle east lookin' for a fight.. but to make new friends and trade, they really liked the Celtic Silver and Bronze.. we made a fortune with that, highest grade of the time back then.

Hmm.. If I'm honest I think the girls were right Alba, Eire, Kernow, Manx, Gaul all said to me 'It'll be an end to our happiness if you trust Him.' It was better before  when we were all one Kingdom..but I'm not one to make a fuss yknow? And it's not *terrible* now.. its OK.. but I know Alba and Eire are a bit miserable. Need to give it a think.

: I'm sorry Cymru but I think we're out of time, but it's been wonderful listen to you and yes, you are much more friendly than your cousins.

Oh I've chapped right through your interview! oh my! I'm so sorry! It's like a motor my mouth once i start it, it keeps goin and then runs over until you turn it off! :laughs:

You didn't even get to my hobbies! I'm a right one me!

:it's been enlightening Cymru! Alrightbi!

An certainly to you too! :huge smile:

WC = West Coast

Noo.. Ah um willin' fur LD tæ be the 'Official Legal' lingo fur us Scots, but ays far ays yon o'er's go, am no keen tæ be telt wits wit. Fur exæmple.. yon LD iys 'Hae' but WC iys 'Huv'. WC doesnæ need 'standardization' o' LD. Awe three ur tæ be regarded ays respectit. Næbuddy needs anywan imposin a 'correct' version o' Scots upon o'er Scots, So um sæyin.. within Scotlund LD, WC, HL AWE VALID. uar we huv the situation much lit the hInglish did in imposin hInglish oan us..but wæ LD.

Here's pært o' ma answer oan Quora.. wis talkin' oan an'oer subject (Iyn hInglish) but here's how Ah sum up Scots ayt iyt's hært:

With the Scots language is it MUCH more important THE EMOTION in which you say something.. getting ‘spelling wrong’.. grammar, diction.. is an anathema. In Scots it’s all about the 1. Intention it was said. 2. The emotion it was said with. 3. The way it was crafted.

Like if I were to say:

‘Oh yur the spittin image o’ yursel’

This means I am saying.. the person is looking well and how I imagined them. It’s a micro-poem and crafting micro-poems is very important in the Scots language, and to Scots people, as it can easily make you popular depending on your skill. Spelling.. spell it how you like, as long as I understood you, all is good.

The hInglish care nothing about this.. for them the way to gauge someone’s intelligence is diction, grammar, literacy. Basically.. forthrightness and clarity of speech.

Scots is a poetry based language, unlike its sister language English which has ridgid rules of expression and any deviation is considered slang. English is founded on the principles and pillars of versatility and clarity. Scots is founded on the principles and pillars of ingenuity and elegance.

Crafted throughout each paragraph of speech is something known as 'patter' patter specifically is the humorous branch of Scots micro-poetry. However the micro-poetry can be crafted into any form.
In the 'Personifications' Alba ends her interview with '.. How time flies but never stops.' This is a micro-poem. The meaning of which is.. time itself has boundless energy, but as we travel along with time, we become tired. This is an expression of exasperation mixed with reflection.

Correctness of Grammar in Scots can be an Abuse

Let me explain:

It does not matter the rules of which you speak Scots, think about Scots like a living breathing democracy with each word by each person having its own right to exist, no it is more the emotion in which something is said. In Scotland we at the time of writing have many generations who were emotionally abused for speaking 'slang' by people who wished to further the cause of the English language & culture. So in conclusion it is not wise to force rules on the Scots language .. but instead have commonalities and use them as a guideline.

In Scots on the West Coast we say 'huv' this is incorrect Scots 'hæ' is correct Scots and is from the East coast.. however 'huvnæ' is correct Scots 'hænæ' is incorrect. This microscopic dichotomy shows that Scots speakers themselves.. trying to correct someone may mean you are seen as someone who is trying to further the cause of English and dissuade the cause of Scots.

We are poetical in nature, and so as poetry is a living breathing emotion, our language is this also.

David Shaw's Answer on Quora

The Personifications.. (English Language Vers.)

The Personifications.. (Native Language Vers.)

--------

Reasonings

Now before anyone says 'you're trying to be officus'.. these are guidelines .. and even ones I would prefer to see not observed, no one should hold anything over anyone in terms of language. (see above)

'Kin' is in English 'can'.. why? because we Scots don't pronounce the A, we pronounce an I and since Cin.. is pronounced 'Syn'.. we end up with the wrong word. But if we use K for the first letter, we achieve the correct result.

Hænæ vs huvnæ.. hæ is the correct Scots word for the English 'have' as it contains more particles of ownership to Scots, however 'hænæ' 'haynay' sounds too much like a surname, it muddies the clearness of what is said, so since we already have a particle in 'næ' we sacrifice 'hæ' for the sake of clarity.

Lit vs like is a simple realization error.. that Scots think we are saying 'like' without listening to the word coming out of our mouths.. we are actually saying 'lit'.

When writing in Scots to friends I sometimes put a 'y' inside words like.. it.. iyt ayt iys.. this is to signify a letter that doesn't exist in our alphabet.. most Scots speakers don't hear it, but other English speakers do hear it and it confuses them.. this is one reason why we are not understood in the English speaking community when we speak.. even when we say 'as' we don't and the English speaking world hears it something like: ahys.. like A-highs and not the English 'azz'.. and this is similar for many many Scots words. I suggested a new letter to signify this to the DSL, but their wit in understanding of what I was saying.. was ironically, insufficient.

We add a ultra soft 'h' and mid soft 'y' to many of our words.

Using 'Ash' letter

I use Ash when possible.. like wæ (with) and not 'wi'..because we say fæ and not 'fi'.. hæ and not 'hi'. The particles of ownership are arranged to be standardized. But also different uses.. like 'gærden' (Garden) 'hært' (Heart) 'ænswer' (Answer).. these use a softer ash, but through this use of ash, we can demonstrate to ourselves what other non-Scots English speakers are hearing.. and why they cannot directly understand Scots when spoken naturally.

I was asked by the DSL where I got my references.. I obviously got them from both daily use and Scots language programmes like.. Still Game, Chewin' The Fat, Limmy's Show and Burnistoun.

I sat through all of them.. for the most part laughing and stopping & listening to how the words were pronounced. I was flabbergasted when I was asked where I got these as it should have been obvious to the DSL.

: Merci beucoup, please will you tell me about them?

De rien, oui :half smile:

Canada, I love her, but she is always going around like there is no tomorrow, she cares more for hiking and ice sports than wearing nice clothes! That girl displeases me, always whispering about how good Angles laws are, she thinks I can't hear her! but I do hear her, monsieur. A pretty girl like her should look nice, I caught her wearing a 'flannel shirt' whatever that is, last year.

: [big smile] Did you scold her?

Bien entendu! She needs to learn how to make her own clothes that girl.

:And your other daughters and adopted daughters?

One of my adopted daughters makes me laugh so! She is always in a bad mood with me then changes her mind, Algérie, then she says 'please Mother I am sorry for fighting with you, can I have a little money?' And as a good Mother I look after her encore :kind smile:, because what do you do.. but love your children?

: your sister and half sisters?

Ah, oui, I and my half sisters have a strong relationship, I talk to them very often, et de ma soeur Belgique, you see, she is.. how do i say kindly, she is little, but with a voice that causes calm, she has a voice ten times her size and I am very proud of her :huge smile: . She loves peace, and in this I admire her.

: your cousins?

I do not see them often these days, It was because some turmoil came up long ago, I am still sad to think on it.

: What do you mean?

Ah, monsieur.. A long time ago my second cousins and I were one, we lived happy lives, and even after the Romans invaded, we became close again, except Angle wanted to rule us all, we did not want this, or so I thought, Alba was my best friend.. :sadness:


:What happened?

She married Angle..

She broke my heart! I even waited on her until 1920 hoping she would see sense and return! I refused to believe so I waited for 200 years, like the story of the woman in the dusty wedding dress.. my best friend!

When I sent our Daughter Americana a statue to wave in English faces, I secretly knew it would please Alba, but still she did not return. :tears welling up:

She even warred with me and I forgave her, but leaving me waiting so long.. this I cannot forgive!

I am Gaul.. it is my first name and my last.. but we are not an empire!.. we care and love each other, as even the same person.. oh my heart aches to think on her squandering us!!

: Why do you say that, wasn't it Cymru, who first empowered Angle?

Monsieur, if even Alba, whom the Romans could not beat, succumbed to Angles money, then Cymru would have eventually given in anyway. But we knew Cymru was like that, she liked being open and travelling, but Alba.. Alba is/was indestructible, or so we thought. I hoped Eire would talk her out of it, but She had her own fight I suppose.. eventually, I just.. accepted Angles help and co-operation, then it seemed normal, I mean He helped me a lot during the World War, so I just faced up to the reality, She's not coming back and the happiness we had, all of us, is gone. Besides, it's not like I am married to Him, I am free to come and go as I please, why cry over 300 year old split milk? non, J'ai la dignité.

Am I to make war with Him should She decide to resume Her freedom?..non.

:Is this why Americana not share your last name?

Oh! Ça alors! First, She has many Mothers, but other reasons.. Alba, Eire and I named her 'Freedom', she actually has four last names, Iberia Scania Saxon Gael, but she warred with Angle and Espania, Alba wasn't actually bothered that she warred with Angle, but when She caused blood with people who did not deserve it, Alba took away Americana's last name.. even recently I told Americana, 'Please Daughter do not make more war!' but as ever She just ignored me. She's not like us, she makes blood for money and so I stayed silent when Alba took her name away.

: Merci beaucoup pour votre temps.

Monsieur salut , you have tired me out! :kind smile:

: Merci Beucoup, s'il vous plaît me l'informerez-vous?

De rien, oui: demi sourire:

Canada, je l'aime, mais elle tourne toujours comme il n'y a pas de lendemain, elle s'occupe davantage de faire de la randonnée et des sports de glace que de porter de beaux vêtements! Cette fille me déplaît, toujours en chuchotant sur les bonnes lois Angles, elle pense que je ne peux pas l'entendre! Mais je l'entends, monsieur. Une jolie fille comme elle devrait avoir l'air sympa, je l'ai vue porter une «chemise en flanelle» quelle qu'elle soit, l'année dernière.

: [Grand sourire] Vous l'avez grondé elle?

Bien entendu! Elle a besoin d'apprendre à faire des vêtements appropriés à cette fille.

: Et vos autres filles et filles adoptives?

Une de mes filles adoptives me fait rire si! Elle est toujours de mauvaise humeur avec moi puis change d'avis, Algérie, puis elle dit: «Mère, je suis désolé de me battre avec vous, puis-je avoir un peu d'argent? Et comme une bonne mère, je m'occupe de son bis: sourire gentil :, car que faites-vous ... mais aimez-vous vos enfants?

: Votre soeur et demi sœurs?

Ah, oui, mes demi-soeurs ont une relation forte, je leur parle très souvent, et de ma soeur Belgique, vous voyez, elle est ... comment dis-je gentillement, elle est petite, mais avec une voix qui cause calme, Elle a une voix dix fois plus grande et je suis très fière d'elle: un grand sourire:. Elle aime la paix, et dans cela je l'admire.

: tes cousins?

Je ne les vois pas souvent ces jours-ci, c'était parce qu'une certaine agitation s'est produite depuis longtemps, je suis toujours triste de penser à cela.

: Que voulez-vous dire?

Ah, monsieur ... Il y a longtemps, mes cousins ​​et moi étions un, nous avons vécu des vies heureuses, et même après que les Romains ont envahi, nous nous sommes rapprochés, sauf Angle voulait nous gouverner tous, nous ne le voulions pas. Je pensais que Alba était mon meilleur ami ...: tristesse:


:Qu'est-il arrivé?

Elle a épousé Angle ..

Elle a brisé mon coeur! Je l'ai même attendu jusqu'en 1920 en espérant qu'elle verrait le sens et le retour! J'ai refusé de croire, alors j'ai attendu 200 ans, comme l'histoire de la femme dans la robe de mariée poussiéreuse ... mon meilleur ami!

Quand j'ai envoyé notre Fille Americana  une statue pour faire pâle dans les visages anglais, je savais secrètement que cela satisfaire à Alba, mais elle ne revenait toujours pas. : Larmes emplir œil :

Elle a même combattu avec moi et je l'ai pardonnée, mais je me laisse attendre si longtemps ... je ne peux pas pardonner!

Je suis la Gaule ... c'est mon prénom et mon dernier ... mais nous ne sommes pas un empire! ... Nous nous soucions et nous aimons, comme même la même personne ... oh, mon cœur a envie de penser à son gaspillage!

: Pourquoi dites-vous cela, n'est-ce pas Cymru, qui a d'abord renforcé Angle?

Monsieur, même si Alba, que les Romains ne pouvaient pas battre, succombait à l'argent d'Angles, alors Cymru aurait finalement donné de toute façon. Mais nous savions que Cymru était comme ça, elle aimait être ouverte et en voyage, mais Alba ... Alba est / était indestructible, ou nous avons pensé. J'espérais que Eire la ferait sortir, mais elle a eu son propre combat, je suppose ... Finalement, je ... j'ai accepté l'aide et la coopération d'Angles, alors il semblait normal, je veux dire, il m'a beaucoup aidé pendant la guerre mondiale , Alors j'ai juste fait face à la réalité, elle ne revient pas et le bonheur que nous avons tous, nous sommes tous partis. D'ailleurs, ce n'est pas comme si je me suis marié à lui, je suis libre d'aller et venir comme je voudrais, pourquoi pleurer plus de 300 ans de lait fractionné? Non, J'ai la dignité.

Dois-je faire la guerre avec Lui, si elle décide de reprendre sa liberté? ... non.

: Est-ce pourquoi Americana ne partage pas votre nom de famille?

Oh! Ça alors! Tout d'abord, elle a beaucoup de mères, mais d'autres raisons ... Alba, Eire et moi avons appelé sa «Liberté», elle a en fait quatre noms, Iberia Scania Saxon Gael, mais elle a combattu avec Angle et Espania, Alba n'a pas vraiment dérangé que Elle a combattu avec Angle, mais quand elle a causé du sang avec des gens qui ne l'ont pas mérité, Alba a enlevé le nom de famille de Americana ... tout récemment, j'ai dit à Americana: «S'il vous plaît, la fille ne fait plus de guerre! Mais comme toujours, elle m'a simplement ignoré. Elle n'est pas comme nous, elle fait du sang pour de l'argent, et je me taisai quand Alba prit retirer son nom.

: Merci beaucoup pour votre temps.

Monsieur Salut, vous m'avez fatigué! : Gentil sourire:
