Is England Good for Nothing?

Fantastic man. One of my first albums was, News of The World.

Anyway to me Freddie Mercury is a true British Musical Icon.

lol Freddie Mercury was from Zanzibar wasn't he lol

Dont bash the boys, they tried their best :-P

Cabbage dont't you start with Freddie Mercury now, They are going to claim he was Indian too..:)

Who is currenty Cricket 20-20 World Champion?

I agree they have never been the same since Freddie Mercury died :-(

lol at you.

You should have joined us on the world championship table of shove 'alfpenny.

Don't foget skittles. I used to be great till I fell off the bar attempting a rooundhouse shot.

Queen must be upset with losers performance.

in scrabble once ;-)

and Mr. Jack Sully,what exactly did Maldives win? Let's start with Maldives first.

Because the Latin version (of sports) means this:

1.PLEASURE

2.SATISFACTION

3.ENJOYMENT

4.DELIGHT

5.GRATIFICATION

6.EASE

I must step up to the ockey and take exception. This was originaly introduced by Queen Boudicea when confronting the Roman hordes. however, over the years, it has become more refined. The tools have become more streamlined and lighter whereas the participants have become heavier.

Why do the English call Darts a sport?

Shove ha'penny, Ker Plunk, ludo and Rebound - 4 games @ which Brits excel - and you say we have nothing????? Pah!!!!

and the world marble championship held in West Sussex.....

England won the World Tiddly Winks and more recently the Conkers Championships.

They have always been rubbish in ODIs.

Football was not an Indian game either, Cricket is..sorry was English.

Well India has an English football coach, so why not an Indian coaching the English cricket team....

In this World Cup... I wonder if there is an Indian in all the Teams... lol

exile dont forget that you taught us the game and the rest is history. Look for an Indian coach now. lol

England is competitive in football but not excellent. In test cricket they are currently excellent. Rugby goes up and down but generally they produce a good squad. In men's tennis Britain is doing unusually well.

In the summer Olympics, Britain has been very competitive in men's and women's sports. In 2008 they came in fourth for overall for total medals.

So yes, I would say for a country of 50 million they are not doing badly.

I am keeping everything crossed (well some bits) that we do crush the Kiwis lol (not nice I know) but it would be great x

lol Exile, We beat the Aussie in their backyard last time maybe it might be the Kiwi's this time..:)

Beating NZ at home if a tough ask, but I would like to see England play India or Pakistan at Rugby. How those tiny Asians would be crushed.... they would probably come on QL and complain its racist that Europeans are bigger than them....

They are good in appologies though. For anything i mean

Exile, the last time England won the six nations they went on to win the Rugby World cup. Is history going to repeat itself?

There we were Tinkers and I - her in her belly dancing garb; me in my Riverdance stuff waiting for you and your Monoploy board :-(

We ended up playing Twister :-)

Hey perhaps we could make that our national sport- after winning The Ashes and the rugby?

Well it looks like they will win the 6 Nations... and they make better films about Indian than the Indians...

This is not bashing:-

"Are they good only in politics (I mean dirty politics) for example lying of WMDs in Iraq and dragging the world peace to tatters ?"

I see you are creating ID's a little earlier now and leaving them a while to try and disguise your activities. But you are incapable of disguising your hate and bitterness. How long will this ID last I wonder?

cabbage, that's so nice of you, thanks! 'love' is such a beautiful word...makes me happy, I'm signing off now on'love' mode.....

PS: have a good day Love :)-

Cabbage lets not forget that England Won the Rugby World Cup down Under and we are going to do it again this time round later this year..:)

Today we will beat Scotland and claim the 6 nations..:)

I agree...they are good for nothing ..:)

I was not attacking love. It was just an observation.

You asked if they won anything - I answered.

Thank you cabbage for being 'first' to 'attack'...

ashes??? a series between two countries?????

I wish they'd have won the world cup by now, going by their bragging....

WMD-they have to answer, what's wrong in asking?

Cricket is a weird game when it comes to consistency. Many big teams have lost to the minnows, so do England.

They won the Ashes :-)

I think you are a little niave if you think this won't turn into a bashing thread.

You have gone from a cricket game to war.......

If someone thinks it’s for bashing, NO, these are genuine questions, history will ask, time & again, and they have to answer it, ..peace!!!
