It wasn’t that long ago that the British peoples were spilling each others blood on the battlefield and even though we now coexist under one united banner, (blame the Act of Union) not a great deal has changed . These days our battlefields are the rugby parks of Twickenham, Croke Park, Murrayfield and The Millenium Stadium, where lines are drawn and blood frequently spilt. But as serious as a rugby union international is, there is nothing but humorous banter between supporters.
That said, the Celtic Nations band together, united against the Olde Enemy that is England. Of course, we hope and pray that our own team will prevail but if the truth be known, we don’t care who wins as long as it’s not the English.
The Stereophonics voiced this sentiment by putting this little ditty together…
Let it not be said that the Scots have no sense of humour. Slanj, the renowned Scottish kilt manufacturer, has added a couple of highly amusing t-shirts to its line of recreational wear which has caught the unwanted attention of Grampian Police.
An officer called in to advise the store “to consider whether the display was appropriate and should be removed”, in relation to thier ‘Anyone But England’ t-shirts. It was suggested that the t-shirts might be construde as rasist.
The t-shirts have been produced for this Summer’s World Cup in South Africa and include one for the unofficial supporters club of the teams England will compete with in Group C.
Racist? Do me a favour! I think they’re bloody hilarious and I’m going to buy some!
So as another crap year draws to a close I thought I might proffer one final peice of inane literary tripe by exposing some of the sick and depraved who frequent Gobbledegeek 2.0. by summarising the search strings that lured them here during 2009.
The comprehensive visitor statistics gathered by WordPress detail, amongst numerous other things, precisely the site from whence you came, the browser you used, your IP address, and best of all, the search string you used (which obviously resulted in a link here)!
I would also like to highlight some of the slightly more odd searches that have resulted in your arrival at my doors! These are just a few:
want suck my dick bendigo (sic) – no thanks. I’m still digesting Christmas turkey and how in God’s name did that get you here?
bendigo peadophiles (sic) – were you looking for their home page?
barry rochford is dead – err, sadly not true.
are welshmen poms – no they are not! Who searched for this?
axedale pig farts – don’t they all?
hoons are human too – and Australia will win the soccer World Cup!
So remember, if your Googling includes embarrassing search strings and you end up here, I have your IP address and I may just use it! You know who you are!
“So long and thanks for all the fish” or if you prefer, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
Thank God! At last I can post something related to Julia Gillard that won’t be discovered by Googling for porn!
