RD nailed it. I was in the England members club for years and went to Wembley a lot and was always pissed off when Becks etc got stick and the 'stand up' crap came out. Always thought it was about England but apparently not. Left a very bad taste and to a certain extent I can't blame United fans.

Hmmm. Have to agree with the Manc support on this one.


There's a saying in Liverpool "We're not English, we're Scouse", which is down to football but also because a lot of liverpool folk feel let down by how they've been outcast by the rest of the country.


Whether you get it or not, football is like a religion up there and it's club over country every time. Actually feels quite hypocritical cheering on Ferdinand when he's wearing an England shirt and I just can't get in to it.


One thing that you will rarely ever see at Anfield is a St George's cross with "Bootle reds" or whatever, across the middle. However I have often noticed them at Old Trafford or with the united travelling support.


On the other side I also agree with Atila in the sense that whatever Ronaldo did against England it was also to a team mate and I found that all a little peculiar.


If the above makes no sense, it's because i'm a bit drunk and therefore i'm sorry.


PS - red devil, you go from one end of the spectrum to the other there with Miss Ellison. Funny though.

The smell you've discovered must be because your nose is too near your arse.

No you must be standing in a group of ManUre supporters having an "enlightened" conversation about football hence the smell of horse shit.

      I'd eat my hat if she voted against, so no doubt she's been missed off

      BBQ wanted to rent / buy

      By cradford1997 · Posted

      Having a BBQ this weekend (wit no BBQ) and have a lot of guests expecting some sizzling food which may potentially not happen if there’s no way to sizzle.  Open to renting for the day, picking up returning (with a thorough clean) or alternatively if anyone is selling for cheap.

      Gazundering!

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      Its usually 1 to 2 %. Say it's 2% and a house sells for £1million, the agency takes £20,000. The induvial selling the house might be eligible for £2,000 commission from that.  If the gazunderer bring s the price down to £950,000, the agency takes £19,000 and the individual gets £1,900 commission.  In those circumstances they don't care if you lose £50,000. They are only out of pocket by £100.

      Family holiday - south of France - by train?

      By cath_r · Posted

      Just to note (as someone who has regularly travelled across France by train from London) that SNCF and Eurostar are very good at sorting out situations when trains have been delayed. If an SNCF train is delayed, the conductor will invite people to get their tickets stamped if they have an onward Eurostar. I've been late to Eurostar on numerous occasions and they've just put me on the next service. Mostly they've already been aware of SNCF delays. Ditto when I told the TGV staff that my Eurostar was late, they just told me to board and they would help me find a seat. Delays are common and they have procedures in place to handle them in both directions. I've always been pleasantly surprised by how simple it's been.  Also, definitely agree with QueenMab re first class seats on the French TGV trains. They are spacious and relaxing and when my son was under 5, he could have his own ticket/seat for just 9 euros.
