alt: when was the last time you sang a national anthem and which one was it and for what event and where
( , Wed 16 May 2012, 21:33, 155 replies, latest was 13 years ago)

and it was in the pub round the corner and it was not really an event it was just a drunk singalong of a selection of welsh songs

Barry - You're privaliged that you don't have a dependent and you don't work just for a wage. I'm the same, and I can tell you, life is way better that way. If you can pay the bills and buy more or less whatever you want, within reason, then what's the point of earning more? Even if I could get away with not working agian, I wouldn't. Working is about so much more than a wage.
Gobs: Ok, Brenden took over the club with Foxy, foxy is behind bars though for a few murders, so Brenden is the top dog. Foxy's son, the kid who got stabbed, took foxy's share. Sheryl owns 2% too... she origionally bought the club when she won the lotto. Brenden has a son bake in ireland, but is gay... he was with Stevy for a bit, slapped him around a lot, and thats why Stevvy hates brendan. Brenden still has the hots for stevy though.

But at the moment I don't need any and I -need- stuff to do. I overthink everything and worry constantly otherwise. Tomorrow I'm cleaning flats in Whitechapel and then going to New Cross to pick up a sound system for a mate at uni. Then I'll send it up to him. Not getting a penny for any of it but it gets me out the house init.

I mean sure, banter is one thing but some folks seem to well hate them. Not sure why, unless a specific englisher was a shit to them but still, seems a bit extreme to hate all of them.

I was indoctrinated into disliking England when I was a wean. Even now, with an English mother and a cut-glass English accent, I can't identify myself as English, and I won't actively support English sports teams.
It really is a good example of how these things get ingrained in you. saying that, every Scottish person in my family has married an English person, so they can't be all that bad.

it's more that the Daily Record brigade blame England for the shortcomings of their own country. England makes a great scapegoat that way, but I bet we'd go the way of Zimbabwe if we got independence.

has an official verse about hating the scots. Admittedly it's never used in public occasions, but it's still part of teh song.
( , Wed 16 May 2012, 22:27, Reply)

surely that just indicates that england used to be institutionally racist, which is pretty much a seperate thing entirely? although i guess it does mean that they used to hate the scottish at least as much as they respected their own country. it doesn't mean that they hated the scottish more than that though, as far as my calculator can work out.

that reads the Daily Record deserves sympathy.
Don't think for a minute that we'll vote for independence. It's just that we are a bit left of Englandshire and hate the way the Labour Party have gone "Tory-lite."
