World Cup or New Order, whats it to be?

Originally posted by Obi Ah, do i see some division in the ranks? Curling???? It's like claiming Lawn Bowls is a contact sport. As for my opinions, i quite happily spout them anywhere i go, and when i arrive later this year i will not stop deriding the nation for being a sickly pack of losers. I may lose some teeth in the process but it all about standing up for what you beleive in, And by then we would have all known how badly England fared in the cup and it would be even more fun. But remember, we still manage to be great at all these sports with a population similar to that of London. I cannot the UK on it musical contribution, but i see that the Uk is also the place where the Minogue sisters ply their trade quite sucessfully. The fact that your nation supports 2 talentless people is amazing, as well as your addiction to the worst parts of our television, Neighbours and Home and Away)!!!!!

We don't actually have an addiction to Neighbours (5.35pm)and Haway and Shite (minority TV). We also don't have a government who poured millions into sport development several years ago and who are now reaping the benefits. We would dearly love to emulate the sporting achievements of Australia in recent years, no doubt about it. But, and it is a big but, we do have other things to spend our money on, like providing free life for immigrants, wasters and those who choose not to conform.

We have other things to spend money on!!!! Infrastructure development (so more people can get to the sporting arena's), The armed forces(so we can sink more illegal immigrants, And police East Timor, And send troops to fight a war the british started!!!!![that sounds familiar]). The fact is that the government represents the people, and people want to see Australians do well at sport. Most of that funding money went to set up grass roots sports so our children don't turn into obese americans! And we will see how that money goes in about 10 years or so when the soccer funding benefits can be reaped, maybe we will be beating England at another sport.

Dream on Bunyip Boy, any nation that names their national side the Soccer[fuckin]roos must be having a laugh. Soccer Australia is in financial ruin, fleecing the kiddies to fund a disastrous World Cup campaign.

FIVE talentless people. You forgot Bosnich, Viduka and Kewell.

Ah, how nice to see the English maintaining their tradition for respecting other countries.

Steady on lads, this is getting a little ugly.

Obi, you're talking shite. Let it rest. There's plenty wrong with this country as well.

sounds like a sensible option. well that counts me out then ;)

Originally posted by Major Tarantino I plan to get mildly drunk before the concert and then uber-plastered after it.

Im still cursing myself for my excessive alchohol intake before the Wednesday Brixton gig and then having to do a linford christie to the loo's half way thru their set. (arriving back half way thru Ceremony of all songs which angered me immensely)

I'll be furious if i allow that to happen again though leaving half way thru a concert and getting back to my favoured position at the front just aint happening is it...

I don't really do festivals...I take it they'll be selling beer and stuff inside right? In which case I may just go early, sit around on the grass in the (being optimistic now), and just get slowly wrecked throughout the day. Got the monday booked off so can get as pissed as I like...

New Order and Beer seem to go very well together..bit like New Order and football in fact

honestly, theres a bit of sun and warmth down here today, and me minds in summer mode already...

Originally posted by Obi It's amazing how the sport of Pommie baiting has really taken off here down under. Obviously due to the fact that they are shite at every other sport they create the nation holds its breath hoping that this sickly pack of boys will carry it's hope forward and win some kind of trophy is just ridiculous. Face it, You guys will choke as always, your cricket team will run away to join a boy band and the best players in your rugby team will announce that they are Welsh! England world capital of sporting losers!!!!

actually as I came to this thread late can I just ask Obi the current world rankings of Australia & england in the rugby? & I meant the proper stuff - xv a side (the game is structured like new orders songs with various elements to it)not that 13 man nonsense (they each take it in turns to have a go at scoring like aboy band taking it in turns to do lead vocals)

I AM TRAVELLING DOWN TO LONDON ON FRI 7 TH JUNE WHEN ENGLAND PLAY YOU KNOW WHO,ARRIVING AT 14:20 ,THEY THINK ITS ALL OVER ,IT IS NOW.BUT SEEING THIS IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE AND IT ONLY COST £25 TO TRAVEL AT THIS TIME IT IS WORTH IT. ROCKET MISSING THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH SINCE THE LAST ONE.

Sometimes I cringe at the thought of what shite I`ve posted, this sad old thread is no exception . Apologies for existing :o

Originally posted by Cheeky Monkey Ah yes Obi - shite at all sports (except it appears curling) we may be but musically we are unbeatable. What have your lot offered in this category? Chuffing INXS and Crowded (shite)House that's what! :D

I'll try to stay out of this argument ... But Australia did produce the magnificent group 'The Go Betweens' who happen to be one of Hookys favourtie groups !!
