My mum and dad were watching the extra time as Jonny Wilkinson scored the final try, and they both were screaming and laughing. They DONT EVEN LIKE RUGBY.
What else has come out of England that is worth mentioning? Crumpets and Prince Charles, that's what!!!! NO THANKS!

yeah, i don't see why people suddenly like watching a sport just because we're winning or something. i had a load of pensioners in safeways going on about the rugby, and it's just crazy. they wouldn't even care if england didn't have a chance of winning. if england was winning the internation longest willy competition no one would care, apart from willy competiton fans.

You forgot Australia Ashman, but is it worth mentioning?, jk lol .
I used to be into rugby but i dont do any sport now. I do go to the gym, and lift weights. My gym is the local pub, and we lift quite small weights (roughly equal to the weight of a pint of beer) so not to strain ourselves.
I agree Jon tho, cancer surgeons are on pathetic money compared to sports players, the worlds screwed up.
Sport is NOT a waste of time. It makes millions of people all over the world physically and mentally fitter. Research has shown that older people who play games (anything from Chess to Cricket) have fitter minds and bodies compared to those who don't.
And the rugby players are NOT big fat gits. They're diets and fitness regimes are monitored by trained coaches.
'and getting paid more than many hard working people all over the world.'
They get buggery from the World Cup matches, as they are internationals.
I agree about the comment with football, although I am an avid supporter.
And another thing:
'What else has come out of England that is worth mentioning? Crumpets and Prince Charles, that's what!!!! NO THANKS!'
...right. So nothing has come out of England that's worth mentioning. Except some of the World's finest inventors (J L Baird, Joseph Swan), scientists (Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday), engineers (IK Brunel, That bloke who built that lighthouse), authors (Dickens, the Brontes) and playrights (Marlowe, Shakespeare). Not to mention explorers, military geniuses and David Dickenson. AND the people who settled in America and Australia.
A lot of the stuff England is really known for (Shakespeare, explorers, the people in America and Australia), really isn't such a good thing.
Yes, sports athletes do get paid millions. But they pay taxes too. And that's a hell lot of tax, good for the economy and stuff. So, yes, if your country wins something, you get a few cents off your next major foreign purchase.
And yeah, there's that whole deal about sports making people healthy. I mean, just look at the pics of most klikers. Most klikers don't do sports so they're fatter and uglier than most rugby players. Personally, the only sport I really do is jog a few kilometres every few days, but at least it works. I still say that kliking is as pointless as playing rugby.
Oh, and athletes work a LOT harder than most of us. If sports didn't exist, people would still sit around watching other things, like porn or executions. At least with sports, they're slightly stronger and healthier and become better slave labor.
I'm a bit suprised that the people who get paid to 'kick a ball into a net' aren't really that good at their job, though. 90 minutes and most of them hardly ever get more than 5 balls in, unless it was a Brazil vs Malaysia match or something.

Well at least our (UK) country doesn't have a ranting, raving, supposed crocodile hunter who thinks "ITS A WHOPPA". Sometimes we don't want Australias exports

"strueth, that one's a big un."
freud said that sport is a necessary vent for human anger, which would otherwise just build up inside us and exploded in a war or something (which it did, according to him... WW1 was a consequence of us bottling up our rage (sayeth freud))
so meh.
btw, great britain is the greatest country in the world, but i don't need to say it because you secretly ALREADY KNOW IT and you're just JEALOUS.
Muz: Most klikers don't do sports so they're fatter and uglier than most rugby players.
Muz, why do you keep thinking most klikkers are fat, ugly geeks with no time for anything else other than klikking. It's bloody annoying. You make me look like a fat and ugly geek. Which I'm not... I assure you. Alot of bo... girls think I'm quite cute, yeah. Cute.
But going back on topic, I don't like reading posts on people ranting how gay England is. Just because America and Australia each take up nearly quarter of the globe, (don't quote me on Geography, I've always been crap at it) doesn't mean you can take the piss out of our small country. We're a strong country at that. Your great ancestors were British, so that means we have a lil' British in all of us. Now bugger off.
Oh and Ashman is just annoyed because we beat his country! HAHAHAHA! But I personally didn't give a flying fuck about beating Australia, I've never liked rugby. If we won the Proper World Cup, (the one where they get paid to kick a ball into the net ), then I'd be pleased.

trust me CIRCY, I dont think Ive ever met an australian who actually likes the crocodile hunter either. He makes us all look like a bunch of flaming, redneck, bloody cockatoos (which we arent).
And about the rugby-whatever-world cup, I couldnt give a goanna. the only football for me is the one where you actually use your FEET!(otherwise known as soccer).
Sport is not a waste of time, however I dont agree about how much money and attention it gets.
I just cant forget that time Australia beat England in real football...

'oh yeah? he's thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?'
My heart...she is broken! I felt it break when Jonny Wilkinson kicked that last drop goal...and then took my 4th shot of absinth for the night and yelled out profanities at the television and anything remotely related to Pommies for the next few hours!
But what a game though eh? I've gotta say, England did play the better game. They had very good tactics I felt, and they used their "weapon" in Jonny very well. But the Aussies hung on and made a match out of it. I was loving it...extra time...first time i've ever seen it in a union match.
Kinda predictable...Jonny Wilkinson pretty much kicked England to World Cup victory. He should get knighted for being the only Pom able to lead England to victory over the Aussies!
...and all I have to say now is...
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing matlida with me
Waltzing matilda

Yeah, the Pommy forwards did a good job of running the ball, and controlled the scrums and mauls very well I reckon. Not to mention their great defense work. Almost surprising that didn't win by a larger margin, but the Aussies did have some quality in their defense. I feel they lost it a fair bit near the end of the match though, and their attack was a bit below what was seen in the match where they brutalised the Kiwis

I agree that the sooner the royal family is de-royaled at least, the better. I hate how everyone thinks that us Brits are up the royal family's arses. I never thought it right, just beacuse of how someone was born into a certain family, they get to live in luxury at everyone else's expense.
Remember the medieval times? Well, hypothetically anyway? The king would go to was with the knights etc? Well there's none of that now is there? We got Prince Charles standing there with thousdands of medals on his jacket that he never even earned.
Bloody royals.
Anyway, it's about time England won something, even though I hate everything this country stands for, especially football. Don't get me started on football.
We are trying to resolve the problem peacefully, so why do you hate us. The whole splitting up happened hundreds of years ago, and now you hate us for trying to fix it.
Don't forget, I'm English, and as far as I know, so is my heritage. It's just our country doesn't have much going for it.
Our country sucks man, we got mad racism, stupid laws where there shouldn't be and no laws where there should, crappy censorship, and all young teenagers here semm to be bastards, as do a lot of adults. We got stupid music (Fast Food Rockers anyone?), bad TV, where soaps and sport take presidence over everything, and relity shows are rapidly taking over more so than America, where their reality shows don't suck as much. The media generall sucks here, we got the monarcy who live off us, and the government who don't know what the fuck's going on with anything.
I'm I could go on, but I have to work now. Maybe I'll trink of something else later.
I don't approve of any violence. Luckily i'm not living in an area where I can be affected by it. I think the Irish people do have their right to the whole of Ireland rather than England having rule over 6 counties. I've nothing against english people if they don't try to influence our daily lifes

i agree with whatever noodle says... sure, there are some nuances, but how many other countries let you just go into a hospital, get treated, and walk out, without even having to tell them your name?
Sport is a big waste of time. It really is. Money too. It just happens to be an entertaining waste of time.
Think, how many millions (or billions, I don't know) was spent constructing the olympic complex for 2000? We're the highest taxed country in the world, and that money could've been spent elsewhere. I'm sure it'll pay itself off one day, but it was still a waste of labour and cash at the time.
And the sports themselves, well, I'm all for sport if that's what floats your boat. Run around with a few mates, have fun, get fit. Fine. But don't pay a few elite millions to run around and do the exact same thing, and certainly don't pay millions to be allowed the privilage of watching them. During the time you spend watching the game you could be out spending that money to cure world hunger or something. Or, god forbid, playing some sport yourself.
Nowhere does it say you have to be fit to watch sport, so the fat, bitter geek stereotype isn't really fair. Plenty of people hate sport, and they dont have to be fat, geeky, stupid, onpatriotic or any combination of these to do so.
But commercial sport still takes place, because there are still people willing to waste their time watching it. I'm not one of them, but if you are then I'm happy you find more enjoyment in it more than I do.
Asparaugus Trevor: Why do hate the royals so much?, they cost nothing compared to US (as in Britain) keeping Europe afloat and its companys (peugeot, fiat etc), the Labour government gave £14 billion last year (All our Gold reserves in one go!) to Europe and every minute we give even more millions (i think its a about a few million a minute if i remember right)
I say we pull out of Europe, and invest our money in our country!
Think about our gold reserves, they could have paid for police everywhere, hospitals everywhere, schools everywhere.
I say bring back Concorde (The plane with safest record!!!!! yet they scrapped it for a country who did not service them right, steel reinforced tyres ring a bell?), and if i was in power i would plant a 40% import tax on European goods (such as cars becuase thats basically what they did to OUR products. IE subsidised cars when Morris and Austin was about).
Hitlers almost got his way anyway, we are almost algamated into the European 'super' state, why did our grandads bother fighting? (seen the Euro coins with Britain on it?)
I said why I hate the royals so much, I don't think it's right that a bunch of people can live off the rest of the country simply because they were born into a certain family. They may bring tourist dollars into the country, but the basic premise of the royal family is rediculous. Especially how they don't pull their weight . "Royal duties" my arse, I'd hapily visit a hospital of sick children or say a few words at Christmas for the luxury they live in.
I should have kept my mouth shut about that all that stuff, this is how I usually make enemies, especially my views on religion and football being the two major evils...
"We got stupid music ..." - AsparagusTrevor
As if! Ever heard of the Beatles? Their English. Not to mention some more of the biggest and best rock acts ever seen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, Iron Maiden, Radiohead...the list goes on. I mean sure, they're all considerable old bands, but still, new music is getting worse anyway

Aspargus Trevor: the monarchy DOES serve a purpouse, if you read your history books you would know Sir Oliver Cromwell set up rules for how the land is to be governed. He created 5 powerhouses, the government, THE MONARCHY, the house of lords, the miltary etc.
This was so if one powerhouse tried to take complete control and became corrupt the overs can take over. Thats why the curent goverment is trying to get red of the monarchy and the house of lords.
At any time the monarchy can call for an emerency goverment and can even choose who is in the government.
I hate it when people hate the monarchy without knowing anything about goverment or history.
So there is Royal Duties including passing all laws .
I dont hate you, (ive got lots of mates like you in real life , jeez do we have some arguments, when sober of course ) it just really gets me annnoyed when people cuss the monarchy without knowing the full story.
He killed off all the corrupt people keeping the people as peasants (reminds of today somehow), he was one of the greatest britains ever to live, again go and read your history books young sir!
He was one of the greatest britains ever along with Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and Winston Churchill.

hmmm, a law _has_ to be passed by the head of state if it's passed by the commons and the lords. they can't stop it. then again, neither can the lords: they can only reject the same bill 3 times before it's automatically passed for royal ascent. and they're on strike 3 with fox hunting, thank god.
Hey, it's not just the Royal Family which is giving us a bad name. It's the fucking government! Tony Blair is a silly wanker who lives up George Bush's arse. I just hate how they treat the country, here is one example of what they are doing... they are just letting the Asylum Seekers come into Britain without doing anything to stop them. Heck they come to our country, cause riots and trouble, and the government don't give a shit about it. Heck they treat Asylum Seekers like the bloody royal family. One story in the newspaper pissed me off, an illegal immigrant was in a fight with an english man, they both got major injuries, according to witnesses the english man was started on and so he fought back. Now the illegal immigrant wants to sue the English man for his injuries his substained in the fight. and the thing is, he got money for it. I'm proud to be British but I just think the government is poor. I vote for British National Party!
And it's amazing how a simple celebration of England winning the Rugby World Cup turned into a fued between members of the community.
broomie, i think thats cause half of the community refuses to ever grow up
