Just put any 6 individual poms in a room and there you have it. Total division.

Start them off on football first, the conversation and division wont progress much further than that. :-"

Sounds like a whinge to me :-"

The division of England is summed-up by the road signs. One side of the M1 says SOUTH (a direction), the other side says THE NORTH, obviously another country (that starts at Watford).

Sounds more like jealousy to me ........... that we have a sport that is watched and discussed in fine detail in all four corners of the world where as all they have is a game that that nobody outside a tiny part of the Southern hemisphere understands that has players running round in VESTS the like that me grandad would be ashamed to be seen wearing

BTW Chuchi the Greggs thing is easily explained ........ ya lived in the wrong place

Most outside England refer to it as narrow-minded tribalism. It's the size of a large ranch, but the natives fancy themselves completely different from the neighbors they hate 10 minutes down the road. It's stone-age insularity.

Ah some good old fashion Anglophobia from Tex yet again...

Statts our man Barney is a rugby league man. The great game loved and played in NSW and Queensland and the universe in general. The great game that just recently completed a highly successful and visible world cup competition. I'm sure you noticed and were enthralled The rest of us made up our own little game (referred to above) where we don't wear vests.... we wear jumpers as we wouldn't know what a bloody vest is.It's a game for frontier people - not soft continentals. As for soccer well a few wogs, poofters and sheilers play is here.. but really it's seen as a game for girls who don't want to get hurt.
As for dividing England - What's black and eats chips?

Ah yes RUGGER ..... heard about that one what!!

Couple of the "snigger" posh "guffaw guffaw" guys use to play every week or two. Said it was a bit like the wall game with rules. Never really got into it being "working class" an all that. Saw a couple of posts from the bars on here about games taking place recently, so that must have been the "World??? Cup. Pretty much on a par with that American stuff ... Baseball (both played in about 20 countries worldwide and think they need a WORLD Cup)



Cant hang around here any more , I've got to get some Curling practice in, if I'm going to get in the Russian Curling Federation Team any time soon

At least we have a history going back thousands of years & documented.
What history do you have besides the native Americans who you slaughtered.

I once worked with an American in Malaysia who to be honest was useless.
His only claim to fame was he had a Top Class degree in American modern History.
When questioned if his degree went back to the native American history he shut up.
So I asked him a simple question WHAT HISTORY.

Enough said about people like you & him.

Highly doubtful. When you can't discuss the issue you attack the poster. That's OK. I'm game.

I wanted to see how long it would take to answer.
This must be your life trying to send provocative posts about UK people.
Notice I did not say English as I class myself as a UK citizen.
GET A LIFE IF THIS IS YOUR ONLY ENJOYMENT I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU GOODBYE

Better steer clear of KFC and Tesco if Barney & his rugby lads are about ............ swish swash give us yer cash
