oh, hello! cornishman here, duchy lad born n raised. blessing you all with my presence for a short while.

Oi lad
Do you like Bretons ? Welshies ?
>>
>>56422670
the welsh tend to be a bit off with me until i mention im cornish.
bit of an awkward moment in a pub, they didnt want me there but i let them know im from kernow and they were straight away completely sound with me.

>>56422670
bretons are great. the only place ive been to in france and only place there i probably will go. the landscape reminds me of cornwall, nice culture, hot girls. i witnessed a great celtic festival when i was over there, regardless of the type of person, everyone was really getting into the traditional dances. plenty of qt's which in alot of countries they would be far too egotistical and too 'cool' to do it.

i plan on going back

How butthurt are you to be an Englishman?

>>56423196
coming from the countryside its like another world, it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest but everyone definitely has to do the usual tourist site seeing. i have no interest in the hipster places which so many people are ok with spending 900 a month for some 1 bedroom closet to sleep in, in some shitty ''hipster'' part of town

>>56423607
your average cornish vagina actually looks like a pasty crust. i dont know how it must be an evolutionary thing.
theres a certain technique to milk the clotted cream out of a cornish lasses tits but i havent mastered it. they fight me off before i can finish the job

How do you feel about a faggot muh heritage Merican learning Kernewek?

What Cornish-language literature would you recommend for a beginner?
>>
>>56423647
never heard of troon? do you mean treen?

ive never been to st day. its too close to redruth for me to want to go near it, not too far from me though

>>56423650
sounds cornish as fuck but no i havent. i gave it a google but its further up north. i dont really know anywhere further up cornwall
>>
>>56423817

Troon is the St.Day of Camborne. Full of inbreds and travellers.

Where are you from? I know we've anons in St Ives, Falmouth and Pool who post here.
>>
>>56423607
Cornwall is overall a beautiful but boring place. There's next to no identity there. I'm from Bristol and 9/10 times we sound more West Country. Given that its a mixed bag between near poverty induced towns or the middle class/Londoner occupied ones. Most generally have a chip on their shoulder from being country folk while having to exit the region if they every want a career. I've always summered there and probably know the region better than most locals naturally.
>>
>>56423791
anyone learning kernewek is fine by me. much respect if you do, im not sure how good the online resources are im afraid.

>>56423865
so its like the rest of camborne then? going to that place is like a zoo haha

i know of the falmouth guy who posts in /brit/. im a penzance lad myself. desu its not much better than camborne so i shouldnt be talking

>I've always summered there and probably know the region better than most locals naturally.

hahah right..
typical emmett, cant tell the size of your car. id like to see how you handle the cornish lanes
>>
>>56423992

Pretty much. Lived in Camborne almost all my life and I've nothing good to say about it. I've always liked Penzance for some reason

>>56424045

Funny you should say that, when I was learning to drive I was taken through the Blue Hills near St Agnes. Met some tourist in a big SUV who had burnt his clutch out trying to reverse out a road his car couldn't fit in
>>
Some of my family came from Cornwall. Please preserve your language.
>>
>>56424045
Cornish lanes are fine, farmers actually bother to trim their hedges.
>>
>>56424147
more and more efforts are being made from cornwall as a whole, need not worry mate

>>56424130
you still living in camborne then?
>>
My mother is Cornish

How'd you treat a half caste?
>>
>>56424253

Sadly yes, there is no escaping the crooked hill.

>>56424305
i wonder if we have any mutual friends, or know of people

>>56424253
It is apparently severely endangered... Should I learn some?
>>
>>56424294
as in mixed race? new zealanders are cool
>>
>>56424447

I don't know of anyone in Penzance, but as I work in Hayle there are probably people who we mutually know.

I met some guy from Truro when I was in Uni several hundred miles away and there were a few people who both knew. Seems you can't avoid it down here
>>
>>56424531
its a small world. ive got mates in hayle haha. infact i was there the other day
>>
>>56424650

I'd list off some names but I've got work in a few hours so it'll have to wait

If I visit the UK in the future, what's a good drink you don't usually find outside of Cornwall?

Do you even recommend visiting at all?

i literally never leave cornwall so i dont know whats outside it.

cornish ale is a must.

Tribute, Skinners, Doombar. Cornish lager - Korev

all amazing. in terms of food the obvious one is a pasty, no where outside of cornwall makes them the same.

eugh this is the english every time i make a cornwall thread. they shit up everything

>>56425357
loads mate. newquay is a very commercialised place, i live a hour or so away where its more natural and quiet, less tourists but it still gets busy as fuck in the summer.

beaches like Sennen, Gwenver, Pra Sands, Perranuthnoe, Porthmeor in St Ives, Gwithian, Porthcurno etc
theyre all around me, but cornwall top to bottom is littered with beaches and coves.

>>56425497
no nordic influences no. its a god tier flag though

>>56425417
those are samosas which are nothing like pasties

this flag has probably been around longer than denmark was even discovered mate

>>56426067
historically we were a very big part of the world, in terms of trade. big mining industry down here but thats a lot more recent. id say we have more identity than say denmark or whatever.

the gods have blessed the Kernow. thats all i can say
