Now the thing is, Banjo Johnny, this is how it works: if you see some words which are underlined and in a different colour, it's a link and will take you to another page somewhere which might have relevanmt information.

In the case of Brendy's response to your origional request - made within five minutes of your posting it, it took you to a site with Land of Hope and Glory, God Save the Queen, Jerusalem and I Vow To Thee My Country and the British Grenadiers. Not at all bad! Unfortunately you duidn't realise there was a link, and thought you were being trifled with.

After a couple of posts in which you were pretty shirty, and he'd repeated the link (though you obviously didn't follow it up that tiem either), he suggested that you might fuck off. In the circumstances that seemed moderate enough. An apology on your part would be in order, I'd say. Internally, even if you don't feel like posting it.

Anyway, it's a great tune.Sir Edward Elgar, who wrote it, thought the words were rubbish, but that was when it was all meant seriously and arrogantly. But now it's become a good-humoured enough joke of a song, so give it a good belting rendering.
