:lol: He is a touch tubby. No worries for them, though. They’ve got attacking talent coming out of their arse. I’d fear for them more if some of their defensive bunch start misfiring. Not an awful amount of cover there. The Arsenal fellow Gilberto should get some games when that big lump they’ve got playing in front of their back four gets himself…[Read more]

I agree. Which is why I’m not worried about England just yet. Teams with aspirations have got to be looking to peak at about the quarter finals, when the real clash of the titans stuff happens.

Ah, you’re too harsh, Grandma. The point at which your accent becomes the Scots language is a fine one. You can hardly be piqued at a punter from Penzance puzzled by your Pictish patter. :D

There are some points I’d like to pick up on here, I think.

The land had been called Palestine since the days of antiquity, so the idea that “Palestine” is a modern myth is sheer absurdity.

The area certainly has been called Palestine, on and off, since antiquity. However, the idea of an autonomous state named Palestine is a…[Read more]

:lol: Fuck off. You can’t fool me with your fancy talk. I know you lot still use oxen.

So, it was a shite idea, people pointed it out and it got dropped? That’s terrible. I must admit, I used to enjoy the traditional Tory it was a shite idea, people pointed it out and they did it anyway to hilarious effect. That Poll Tax had me chuckling for months.

I think you’re really an undercover Labour activist, here to convince me that the…[Read more]

:D Winchester, I reckon. It all gets a bit cloth cap, whippets, towns named after cakes and ee-by-gum when you go much further north than that

:-s I don’t think there’s any need for the hyperbole. Individuals are responsible for the murdering and killing, on both sides, not entire societies. Otherwise the whole of Germany should have gone to the gallows in 1945.

I do disagree that the Palestinians are in a similar situation to the Poles in 1939, though. Most of the major Israeli…[Read more]

It seems to me that Israel, throughout its modern history, has been defined and enlarged as a result of Arab aggression. The Arabs keep losing and then whining about the consequences. If I were them, I’d alter my strategy before things get even worse; come to terms with the existence of Israel, cease all violence and come to a stable resolution at…[Read more]

:-s Didn’t we beat Tunisia in ’98?

:lol: It’s nothing compared to what’s come down the ‘phone from half the family this morning. Rotters. Come on England!

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there ’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

We’re on the ball! We’re on the Ball! The boys from Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne!

I give you a toast Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you a toast Ladies and gentlemen
May this fair land we love so well,
In Dignity and freedom dwell.
while worlds may change and go awry,
Whilst there is still one voice to cry!—
There’ll always be an…[Read more]
