Sinister: There's even something about B&S at the end...

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...
