Don't even think about it. Remember, I know where you live... On a more serious note (except possibly to Rob's health...):- Can I just say, nationalism sucks. I'm not proud of being British - we've been responsible for the deaths of more people around the world than any other country in history. But I do support the England and Scotland football teams, for the same reason as I support Cambridge in their inevitable annual sporting victories over Oxford; because it's enjoyable cheering the team on, or whatever. Most sports fans don't think it's a matter of life or death, it just makes them happy to see their team win. The hooligans that have appeared in marseille and other places recently aren't football fans, I doubt if many of them care about football in the slightest, they just like causing trouble whether it be at a football international or, say, and England cricket test match at Headingley. Finally, in a quite remarkable twist, something both on-topic and relevant! In today's Melody Maker, Chris Geddes is asked about football; and in particular, which football team he would compare B&S to, to which he answered: "We're the Manchester City of pop. People still come and see us, no matter how bad we get." So football is a valid topic of conversation on the list after all...
