    A friend of mine, who is English but of Scottish descent, supports Scotland in the rugby and England in the football.

    When I asked him why he didn't support Scotland in the football, his reply was "do I look f***ing stupid! We've at least got a chance in the rugby"

        I don't see why not. I tell you what I think often enough.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Well this is CUK. Can we block IP's from outside the UK, and keep things strictly on UK soil. I for one don't want these greasy European types, or greasy European expats posting their pro Europe drivel on here.
