Football - The game where the ball is struck almost exclusively with the foot. So that rules out all of you colonial beggars then (no, the English Rugby Union team doesn't count, not since the days of Rob Andrew...). Problem #1 sorted.

Beer - The point of beer is that you are supposed to be able to enjoy the flavour. The point of lager is that it's disgusting, so they chill it to the point where you you can't taste it! Hence lager is served at @4C & beer at @13C. There is no such thing as "warm beer" (unless someone got really careless) - that's the temperature it's supposed to be served at!

Patriotism - Patriotism = "I am proud of my country because...". Bigotry = "We're better than you because...". Spot the difference! Nothing wrong with patriots; bigots can...

Having set the world to rights (& incidentally established that "The English, the English, the English are best; I wouldn't give tuppence for all of the rest", vice Flanders & Swann)...

Myrge Geol!
