filmmusic 3,270 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I was just wondering, am I the only Greek here in this forum? Are there any more?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,388 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Aren't they all broke?
filmmusic 3,270 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 Well, I'm not into politics at all, but why exactly this would prevent them from logging in jwfan?
Trent B 354 Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Yes, there's loads of geeks here.LOL when I saw the title of this thread, I too thought it was asking if there's a lot of geeks in here.

filmmusic 3,270 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 I'm not a Greek, but I am a Grecian! What does this mean Omen?I'm not sure...
Omen II 1,300 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I thought you might ask, filmmusic!I am a big fan of Exeter City FC, a football team from Devon in England (there you go, a War Horse reference already). Our nickname - given to the team as well as its fans - is The Grecians, one of the strangest nicknames of any team in the country; indeed, nobody is entirely sure how the nickname came about. The most popular theory is that the residents of the area of the city where the football club is located used to be known as 'Grecians' because for centuries they lived outside the city walls and would play the part of the Greeks in a yearly re-enactment of the siege of Troy. Even the team's mascot is called Grecian the Lion, while previous mascots were Alex the Greek and Athena the Grecian Goddess. One of the Greek islands now has quite a few fans who follow the fortunes of Exeter City from afar and occasionally attend matches.Here is a photograph I took at our cup game against Liverpool earlier this season; note the Greek flag to the right of the old grandstand.
filmmusic 3,270 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 Oh, thank you for the detailed explanation Omen.Really interesting! ;-)

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,388 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Hey, it takes all sorts!
nightscape94 968 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I worked for some Greeks for about 4 years and we just called each other Malakas all day long. That's the extent of my Greek.
AI 0 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I'm sure Vangelis serendipitously bungled his way to this website once.
