World Cup 2010: HMV withdraws 'racist' anti-England posters from Scottish stores

[shaunbhoy]

On t'radio when they talk about the football and get a barrage of "this is supposed to be British not English radio", it always sounds like only the Scots are complaining, the Welsh and Irish don't seem to care.

Just you wait till the Welsh and Irish get radios though.

Want some ketchup to go with that chip?

Trust me, with my mates that's all they did for four years.

I only quoteed the first line, but I was responding to the whole post. Re-read it, there seems a lot of between-the-lines biterness and anger there.

Could you imagine the throttling Scotland would have given England in that game if the Celtic players were not "Injured".

Oh for feck sake, here comes the paranoia. For someone who states he has no interest in his ancestry you sure cling onto the prejudice.

Absolutely not, I'm sure those who made the choice to go onto Uni after school got what they wanted out of it. I had no interest in it then; my last two years at school were wasted as I discovered drink and women.

I am actually doing my LL.B through the OU at the moment, but purely through self interest in Law. I have no ill feeling towards University education, but to hold up a degree as some shining example of superior intellect as Minestrone did (and does constantly with Churchill) is a complete fallacy.

Right then, because that little piece of paper you get for four years of being on the piss and popping countless drugs really demonstrates how successful you've been in life.

I left school with three highers with grades good enough to get me into a mediocre Uni if I really fancied another four years of 'education.' Instead I joined the Royal Navy and on my 21st birthday was partying on a beach in Indonesia. I have been round the world (twice), whilst being paid for it and now when comparing myself with those of my compatriots who did go onto Uni, I can quite happily say that not one of them has earned more than me in the last five years. Infact I would say 90% of them have not taken home 50% of what I take home.

So, you can take that rolled up diploma of yours and bask in the little letters it allows you to stick behind your name, I'll happily take the bank balance. Because basically what I'm getting at is the fact I know I currently do earn more than you and I will continue to earn more than you, but hey at least you've got those little letters to keep you warm.

I was giving consideration to going for another degree recently, law maybe, it will sit nicely next to my Engineering, Maths and CS degrees. What do you think?

It's your money, you can spend it however you choose.

You can do what you want, your degree (s) mean nothing to me as do you. I still earn more than you; maybe you should concentrate on your career rather than collecting letters? What do you think?

Churchill and Incognito just might end the day having more degrees than me.
