Machang if the “g” is pronounced is not Tamil as far as I am aware. Others will have to comment on its Sinhala origins.

tamil?
sinhala?

This comment by TrueSL is made on a post where Indi praises malu paan. I thought malupaan was Sri Lankan, so by definition, he is not criticizing ALL “SL stuf.”

The commenter suggests Ranil is not Sri Lanka. I don’t like Ranil, but he’s as Sri Lankan as they come: His father Esmond Wickremesinghe was a major figure in Sri Lankan politics, starting from the time he helped spring LSSP leaders out prison during WWII to toppling Srimavo’s first govt to getting JRJ elected in 1977. His mother Nalini is the daughter of the founder of Lakehouse (and considered by many to be a national hero for who Wijewardene Hall at Peradeniya U and Wijewardene Mavatha in Colombo are named).

His grandmother Helena Wijewardene rebuilt the Kelani Viharaya that was destroyed down to rubble by the Portuguese. He is the chairman of the Dayaka Sabha of the Kelani Viharaya. His knowledge of history is extraordinary, including the claim that the area above the Bentara Ganga was an EPZ under King Parakramabahu that was ridiculed by Weerawansa. Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Dr Wijewardene, recently went out of his way to confirm the historical truth of Ranil’s statement.

Ranil had his entire education in Sri Lanka, including his undergraduate degree at U of Colombo. How Goebblesian is the claim that Ranil is not Sri Lankan?

Ranil is not Sri Lankan, and Somawansa Amerasinghe who still maintains his residence in the UK is? Gotabaya and Basil who still maintain their US green cards are?

What is the world you people live in?

Official Language.

18. 3[(1)] The Official Language of Sri Lanka shall be Sinhala.

4[(2) Tamil shall also be an official language.

(3) English shall be the link language.

What tyoe of A Sri Lankan are you? Are u trully Sri Lankan? Do u have a right to talk about things u do?

This explains why he critises all SL stuf including Mahinda and our people. He wants someone like Ranil, who is trully UnSriLankan!

Always read the lines in between the lines. Read the man behind the lines. This exposes Indi and his clibre….

My cousin, the diver (sucba/tank) from the 70′s, still alive and kicking (in the fort).
he has probably taught about 50% of scuba divers from Kosgoda to Kirinda.

Does not dive now (maybe for pleasure/wreck dives). Has “other interests”.

Windsurf equipment, had/have (??) it.

So we need to disprove your fantasy to make it implusible? OK, I’ve got my own theory. I think crepes came from Mars. After all, they ARE circular (just like flying saucers), they’re pale in colour (sort of like Martians), and their texture corresponds in likeness with pictures of the topography of Mars. I think that’s pretty plausible, no?

David you were right, the hilariousness rarely ceases with Jey does it?

P.S. Jey, you should try questioning and reasoning with your overlord, come back and tell us what an RPG up the arse feels like.

Sorry what I meant was you still haven’t convinced me to an acceptable degree that my opinion is not plausible.

I warned you in my earlier post that I was using Wikipedia grudgingly just to give you an idea. The facts on Wikipedia are always contested and controversial as the actual page about Crepe shows. They specifically mention there that the origins of Crepe are contested. You have convieniently missed that point I see.

Regarding this quote you have I would say that Europeans e.g Portuguese, French, Dutch arrived in South India in 1600′s therefore leaving a span of 350 odd years for the Crepe to spread around Europe (Napolean’s army had a opportunity to do this).

I told you this was my opinion and you still haven’t convinced me that its otherwise.

I make it a habit to question things and to reason things out instead of just accepting things lying down. Question and reason Indi. There is no harm in that.

I see you still haven’t taken my advise…N…GROW UP. Stop acting your shoe size. Be grateful. If it wasn’t for V.P I know people like Balraj or Sornam as leader would have left you guys with only th sea to flee to.

Even if we took you at your word:), you would actually have to have some information first.

“This is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever written on this blog.”

I disagree, Indi. If you look at Jey’s ‘History’ you’ll find some really hilarious stuff.

That would mean that tortillas, blintz, latkes and all these other round starchy things that have running borders with France are all derived from Pondicherry dosai. Do you understand how little sense that makes? It’s a fucking pancake for Christ’s sake. To quote the Wiki:

Buckwheat came to Europe from Southwest Asia and also spread to Eastern Europe, where a similar meal called blintz also developed. In Brittany, crêpes are traditionally served with cider. In Italy it is crespella. In areas of Central Europe, the meal is called palačinka (Serbian, Czech, Slovak, Croatian and Slovenian), Palatschinken (in Austria), palacsinta (Hungarian), all these terms being derived from Romanian plăcintă (Latin placenta meaning “cake”). Interestingly, an actual Romanian “plăcintă” is actually more similar to a quiche than to a crepe, and the Romanian word for crepe is clătită. In Danish it’s Pandekage, in most German regions it’s Pfannkuchen. In Dutch pannenkoeken, derived from the words for pan and cake. The Polish version is called naleÅ›niki. In the Spanish region of Galicia, they’re called “filloas”, and may also be made with pork blood instead of milk.
