No, you clearly are refusing to acknowledge a valid point. Ia m not going to leave you just like that - first be honest - then we can call truces.

Sewnarines, Ragoonaths

infact, good idea. Ravi Rampaul is struggling to nail down a place in the Windies XI - thanks to Darren Saamynaadhan being a captain and an automatic choice.

Why are you misrepresenting?

19th century-la naan oppressionai adharippEnnu sollittu, ennaiyA misrepresent 'ngreenga.

My point is against your arbitrary definition of "natural" immigration. It exists nowhere but your mind - not even the ingenious Englishmen who fruit-eating-seed-throwers in such obfuscation have thought of your (admittedly) pre-emptive strike.

oru arbitrary-yum illai. History-ai paarunga. Who has come to India for work? 'Let this be a start' 'ngreenga. No 'ngREn. That is all.

Your adamancy in the face of logic is commendably English.

neenga solradhu dhaan logic
adhai oththukkalainnA English-nu thittuveenga

You keep protesting that I call you Englishman of India - well, you have every quality to be called an Englishman. So, even if you protest that you are supporting Test Cricket not British monarchy, you have exhibited sufficient mule-headed fancy (il)logic with arbitary definitions of concepts to suit your current position.

Oh Englishman was shorthand for this-A? Then fine.
But adhu makkaLukku puriyAdhillaiyA. avunga ennai yEdhO anglophile-nu thappA ninaichchuttA. adhukku dhaan theLivupaduththuREn.

Evne the stand that you keep flaunting as "munnamEyE sollittEn" is cleraly a well-thought out pre-emptive defence - which is a very English trait.

I don't know if it is an exclusively English trait. You think it is a 'bad' thing and thus like to call it English. That's all.
But I need to keep reminding you because you ask the questions which I have already answered, seek acknowledgement for something I have already acknowledged.
padikkAma pEsureengaLonnu oru davuttu.

You shouldnt feel insulted to be called as one with English attributes, should you?

Again, a mischeivous suggestion.
This suggests that I would happy to be associated with all English attributes, even 'bad' ones - when I have been crying hoarse in protestation, which Plum pretends to acknowledge. So you have got it in your head that there is a heavy dose of aspirational Anglophilia in all this. Else you will NOT be making such a statement.

[QUOTE=Plum;855292]What kind of idiotic argument is this? If an Englishman has to qualify for India, he has to stay in India 183 days for 4 consecutive years. That's what the ICC requires - ofcourse, they'll relax it for themselves but surely when they see reverse-brain=drain, they'll uphold this law to the word - which means if an Englishman qualifies per ICC requirements for India, he'd have soaked India in him sufficiently. That should be enough, Ofcourse, except in your mind - which is just your personal idiosyncracy. I have my own idiosyncrasies - atleast, i dont argue that those idiosyncratic beliefs are "national character" or "natural trait".

Mark Tully is an odd case working in India - before and after him, no British journalist has made India his home. Per your logic, he should never have been allowed to stay on in India and make India his home.

You are clearly NOT reading ANYTHING I am writing. I have no prob with Tullys and Dalrymples. India for Indians-nu sonna maadhiri solreenga?? I made the most extreme case that I am fine with Sonia becoming the PM of India - something that'll make a good part of the nation foam in the mouth. I just don't want to see a veLLaikkaara mercenary open the Indian attack. Of course there will be exceptions (been in India since I was a kid etc.) but as a rule, going out and hiring the gen-next from SA,Aus is not something India should do, just because Aus/NZ/Eng do it. They are different, they have people flitting across borders always. It will be novel for us.

It's about time we also did -nu ninaikkureenga pOla. I don't think so.

Reviving the Dr Vijay analogy, I dont like Vijay movies, I wish a flop for him every time he releases a movie but if a DMK government resorted to unfair means to prevent release of his movie, my sympthies would be with him. I wouldnt crow and celebrtate that releasing a Vijay movie was prevented evne if by unfair means.

That is how it should be - infact, I believe you are also fair enough in that manner. It is just that you are resorting to vidhandavaadham in this issue and are unwilling to back off.

I answered this already (ippadi sonnA vERa ungaLukku kOvam vandhurudhu). You are more democratic and tolerant than I am in certain things. When something painfully ugly and egregious happening will have me cheer when something is done to prevent it.

Robin Singh came when he was a kid it seems - I am 100% sure he made that knowing fully well that it is not the case. I am 100% sure that he just made it up as he goes just becuase it seemed like a good rebuttal
