You cannot lay claim "on" anything.

Please see the sentences extracted from their respective websites below.

http://www.cardigancastle.com/e...-of-the-castle

"By the end of the 13th century it was King Edward 1st who had laid claim to the castle."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duwisib_Castle

"His wife could not bring herself to return to Namibia alone and never again laid claim to the majestic castle."

http://www.walesdirectory.co.uk...Powys_Town.htm

"The Mortimers, a powerful marcher family then laid claim to the castle and surrounding lands."

I hope that was helpful.

Indeed.

I think the phrase you were looking for was "Thank you" but I can live with it.

Shall we just agree to disagree on the "hey guys" point?

We won't get anywhere by arguing as we won't persuade one another.

Let's just have a nice time and since you've also done a bit of Japanese you might be able to help me out.

I won't reply to the last comment that you put on the wall because it's a bit pointless to start the war all over again ;)
