    New British Law (Warning: British humor)

    It is now law that any driver with a below-average driving ability must display a warning flag on their car. The flag must be a rectangle, have a white background with a red cross. It can optionaly have the name of the country they live in on it (e.g. England).

    Here is an example of one of the warning flags:

    Nice one, I work in a garage up here in Scotland and the amount of cars (Even here) with those ****ty little flags is unbearable, they do it to wind us scots up...

    A family came in the other day, the usual fat bald failed englishman and his family were ALL wearing england tops...

    I hate the english, they are arseholes...

    I'm none too keen on you either.

    Its a shame the sweaties didn't qualify..no really

    Always amusing to watch their brave happy go lucky optimism slowly melt away as their team inevitably gets crushed in every game by footballing titans like Costa Rica.

    MAAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    poor old scotschland, got some good players, good squad on paper........just **** on grass!

    There's nothing wrong with being patriotic and there's nothing wrong with being proud that we're in Euro 2004.

    You're right though - there's definitely a percentage of England supporters that are nothing more than an embarrassment to the country - the fat bald one's with really bad taste tattoos..

    Anyway - I bet the Scottish are just as proud to be in Euro 2004.





    Oh, oops.. sorry - I forgot.

    astro-turf, concrete, all-weather, sand, indoor 5-a-side pitch, carpet, whatever. It doesnt matter aslong as you can kick a ball on it. Portugal is an especially good place to play football

    And another...

    Q: Why are the English better lovers than the French?

    A: Because they can stay on top for ninety minutes and still come second.

    I saw a news article recently about a very patriotic woman who decided to paint the flag of st george across the front of her house.
    She got off to a bad start when she messed up big time on the front garden wall by painting the background red and the cross white, suggesting something else completely

    Thanks for being so understanding, I definately put it the wrong way...

    @Loydall - Bang on about the bad taste tattoos, that's who the comment about being arseholes was aimed at
