The Ashes

I used to work with a guy who took the 'ABE' to a real extreme. He's a big football fan and when not at work his wardrobe consists of a Scotland track suit with any of a variety of Scotland or Celtic tops. During the last world cup, whatever team England played he'd wear the opposing teams top and hang their flag out of his window.

Personally I couldn't care less what top he wears but most of the football fans didn't like it, I think the most common answer to his various anti England rants was, you guessed it, 'If Scotland's so great, piss off back' :D
 
Rugby has a lot to teach. I remember watching a six nations match in an Edinburgh bar, Scotland and someone else playing. In our group was me (Norn Irish), My 2mates (Scottish parents, born Norn Iron) and their wives, one Scottish, one Welsh, some Scots and two English blokes. We all had a ball as did the very mixed selection of Nationalities and supporters in the bar, singing, cheering and joking. There was a bit of witty slagging but nothing poisonous or serious, which tends to be the case with football (and I speak as one who attends all football home internationals for Norn Iron).

i can absolutely whole-heartedly agree with this, but, saying that, i was in an Edinburgh pub 2yrs ago with my Welsh mates for the 6 nations weekend.
there was some Engerlish lads in and after they beat Italians one of them said, and i quote, "we just need the sweaty's to beat the sheep-shaggers now"
he was a bit of an arse to be saying that in the heart of Scotland surrounded by us and proud Welshmen.
i love a bit of banter as much as the next bloke but the arrogance of this c*nt was unbeleivable
because of people like him this just adds to the ABE sentiment

Looks like I'm going to be drinking Fosters, XXXX and any other bloody awful Aussie piss as a forfeit, I should really keep my gob shut.
 
Chaps I have quite liked VB in the past but anything pleasant doesn't constitute a forfeit, it has to be piss as I lost the bet.
 
That'll go nicely with my Australian cat shit coffee.
