But don't forget, the guys who set up the hurdles are the cream of the British officiating crop, they're professionals.

You own a donkey?

Tell you what, do me a favour and find a travelling Scotsman, Welshman or Irishman and tell him he's an imbecilic Englishman. :lol:

Then again since I guess you never leave your troll cave it'd be hard for you to do so.

Unlike your pathetic ancestors we love our respective countries. But where would we leave to boozo? The States is hardly the land that welcomes the huddled masses any more.
