So much so that Hamish Husband the "spokesperson" for the Tartan Army has called Mars a disgrace for daring to put the St George's Flad on their sweet wrappers during the world cup.

Some people really need to seek help!!

Is anyone else confsed why a Danish beer is suddenly the epitome of all things English? It's just a bit odd frankly. (I suppose they ruled the south east for a while, but a bit before the Corinthian Casuals were formed surely).

Anyone else going to the Kingstonian v Arsenal game atthe end of the summer btw?

Council tenants love to do this .


I would guess that it would have a negative effect on house prices .



Running after a leather ball is fairly silly too. To stop the flagwaving at source you need to ban football. And Brendan, have you ever been a Fenian bast*ard from the Republic? When you drive through certain villages in Nornireland those pretty flags are not at all very welcoming. Bit like Woof's pub.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
