ENGLAND v AUSTRALIA

[redfred]

Like most things we invented/ started and took to the world, they got better. So be it. the western world began on a small island west of mainland Europe and invented the best sport and have only been world champions once. I'll take that. Could be worse, I could NOT be English.

I guess you're another that has a good excuse to why you live in Oz (assuming you actually do).

Just because someone for various reasons lives in another country doesn't mean they aren't proud of their nationality. I have an acquaintance who lives in Thailand who hasn't missed an England away game for 30 years. His work took him to Thailand, doesn't stop him living his country.

Trust me the cons who live in England, will certainly tell you how great australia is. Yet they chose to leave.

Most would likely be on holiday or temp visas, whereas most here have settled and here for the long term. There's your difference.

Do we base discussions on "most would likely" now?

Bottom line is aussies in London are proud (for some unknown reason) of their nationality, so why shouldn't an Englishman be proud of his - I know I am.

On settled here for the long term - what are you counting me under?

I agree with you that there is nothing wrong with being proud of where you are from.

but your comment suggest that being proud of being Australian is some how wrong

The middle ground/undecided. BUT - We're more generous with letting in Brits (since convict days) and allowing them to stay longer, so if anything, given your current tenure, I'd have to lean toward settled as to date I've had no signs to suggest otherwise.

How long (as in longest) do you rate a holiday period?

[God is an Englishman]

I intend to go back quite soon.

I intend to get rid of the long term holiday in the next few years.

However, Australian records would have me as a "permanent resident"

[Cufc1]

Well that's ten minutes of my life I'm not getting back

Ps- wembley might be unavailable in May due to cup semis/finals and play off finals, hence why it's up north

I doubt the game wouldn't be on a international break weekend?

It's the same day as the league one play off final.

I'll be watching the Millwall game instead then.

Out of interest, when you go back, are you likely to continue posting on FN seeing you love so many here?

I'm sure I'll pop in and continue to help the education in the 3rd world.

Have you any report cards done? I assume you need to have some form of measure of success if this has any merit.

No I haven't. The ones I had completed were in some foreign language. They talked about capsicums and courgettes. You should have seen my reports from the ones I did on how to drive a car. No one even seemed to understand the question "what is an indicator used for?"

[redfred]

yes bomber I live here. Adelaide, economically a very good place to live.
I was kidnapped by my parents many years ago and have become accustomed to this easy lifestyle with 30+ degree weather .
Also happy to keep the anglo numbers up in a country founded by Anglo's .

No, it suggests I can't think of a reason to be proud of it. Can you?

Given that no one has a choice on where they are born it's a naff argument.

Where you're born is irrelevant anyway, however you don't get a choice on your nationality either. I'm still proud to be English though.

What is an anions lotus?

What is an anions lotus?

I have absolutely no idea

I'mn glad you edited it because I would never have guess what anions lotus was supposed to mean.

So you're failing as a "teacher" then! Must be that Millwall mentality. "We think we're the best, are really no good, but pretend because of some ancient historical events, claim to be the best at everything anyway" (but we don't care).

Unfortunately even the best teachers struggle with students who don't want to learn. However, I will stick to my task.

I think the Leicester uni education is more the issue. Like having a University of Elizabeth Downs degree.

It's famous for its football research department

Wonderful to see Goody and Mauk in!

Nice to see a couple of lads yet to play from Europe in as well.
I think this is why its so important to have Euro friendlies regularly. Make it easier for these lads to be released from their clubs.

Preston North End & Ross County!!! ..... some quality in there

[Brian the Postman]

How does Mackay keep getting into these squads?

[God is an Englishman]

Vardy and Kane must be worried
