Second place England.

Wales beat England at rugby. That was bad enough but to add insult to injury, Ireland beat us into second place in the "One Man and his Dog" competition. Where do us English go from here? :mad:

Go cause a few famines/invade countries....tradionally good at that??

**failing that take up indoor cycling afaik England dominate that

Yes, good point. Maybe we could annex Ireland and make sure it exports all its good food while the Irish starve. I get your point and I am disgusted by the way the English behaved back in those times. We English should be ashamed. Were you ever compensated?

It's a sad day for Ireland when our arch enemy are only number two, get back up there England and give us something to complain about...

Some of your more recent behaviour isn't anything to be proud of either.

antonymin · 27-09-2015 11:07PM

My mistake, it wasn't pulled.:) I am getting paranoid after receiving four warnings.

Do you mean ME personally or the land of my birth?

I missed out a couple of commas there, shame on me.

I think he means that you share the white man's burden. Nothing for it but to make a contribution to the Uruguayan Rugby team's training fund!

Four warnings? Only? 4? Pah! Clearly not trying hard enough.

Blast those accursed English!

A poster starts a light hearted thread about sport and someone puts up a post about the famine.

That's the most unbelievably tactless thing I've ever read on Boards and that's saying something.

Luckily you're the only one offended.

Hardly, what about that kerfuffle in the Food and Drink forum thread last week?

It was terrible, so it was.

I will give that suggestion one millisecond's thought.

I never said I was offended, just embarressed.

That's the sort of thread that I like. The topic changes direction with each post. Must be good, don't you think? love it.

I won't hold my breath, Australia is very good.

I am not totally au fait with the rules of rugby. I don't understand why some penalties are given but I enjoy watching it.

Datallus · 27-09-2015 11:50PM

I'm pretty sure that they make it up as they go along, some of the players don't know the rules.

Second place England.
