Thank God I'm Scottish.


Oh.
 

Yeah, I don't know if that lets you off the hook.
 

Today is Wayne day. Dont you know anything about the sport?
 

Of course not. What's Wayne Day?
 

In which we learn whether Shrek is allowed to play in the WM.
 

B., but are you only Scottish in the sense that Irish Americans are Irish, i.e. not at all? Do Americans of English/British origin have a double epithet? Can they be Anglo-Americans, or English Americans or even Cornish Americans?

Maybe Ken Wolstenholme's famous words - google him, Mike. He should come up in a split second - about the-all-over-ness was a prescient prediction of our future success as a footballing nation. If England - I had to try to justify to three Eastern Europeans last night why there are four British teams - wins this World Cup, Wayne or no Wayne, I'll eat my hat. But I don't have one. So I'll eat some food instead.
 

My Dad is Scottish, and I react sentimentally to bagpipes, heather, the Inner Hebrides, parkins, sudden breaks of sunlight on otherwise rainy days, Calmac ferries and that black-grey stone they have in Edinburgh.
Never lived there properly though, which I suppose puts me at the bi-curious end of the scale. In a manner of speaking.

Argentina probably has a better claim to the curse after the Falkland Islands in '83 and the final game in...I don't know...'86? And I don't have a newspaper in front of me, but aren't Argentina and England in the same pool this year? I cn't remember.

Wayne can play, but so can Ballack. Maybe. Anyway, that TeBe event looked like fun. Only I couldn't see the TV clip on my scheiss-Media Player.
 

But I doubt Ballack will play from the start - sounds like stress between him and JK.

You watching the matches today, and if so where? We will probably meet at mine and then decide whether we watch here or pop along anywhere else. Any ideas?
