    Weird.

    Most Scots are looking forward to the World Cup with great anticipation.

    Watching England get humiliated is always fun....:D

    Actually you are right, the point you made makes perfect sense, hate is a very strong emotion

    No, but round my way nobody is interested in watching it. I'm going to love seeing them fail when there's absolutely no support in the UK whatsoever at all (not even one person in the country) who even turns the TV on for the next three months.

    If you 'love seeing them fail' isn't that a good enough reason to watch them?

    We don't hate the English..... We just like to drink and fight.

    And if we can't fight, then we just like to drink and watch other people fight.

    And if we can't drink and watch other people fight, we like to drink and watch England get beaten at football.

    It's a bizarre situation, I know, that probably has it's roots in a deep seated national inferiority complex.......;)
    It's Sh1te being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low, the scum of the f*cking earth, the most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization.

    Some people hate the English.... I don't.

    They're just w4nkers.

    We, on the other hand, are colonized by w4nkers. We can't even find a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete ar5eholes. It's a sh1te state of affairs to be in, Tommy! And all the fresh air in the world won't make any f*cking difference!

    We English used to love seeing the Scots getting hammered, however it happens so often nowadays it's lost it's pleasure. Plus it usually happens on a Wednesdsy night in a dark part of Eastern Europe with nobody watching.

    It was sarcasm. A sweeping generalisation devoid of any facts apart from what happens 'round my way'.
    I can only conclude you're so used to heartily agreeing with such statements it went over your head.

    [edit] Here's an example I read somewhere else this morning:
    Terrible Year For British Holiday Cottage Letting
    (
    Watch all those holiday home owners squeeeeel)
    "I've never seen such poor holiday home occupancy here in West Wales and I'm told this is repeated across Britain. I'm watching the holiday home crowd squeeeel, and loving it"

    That was the whole thread. No links, no nothing.

    Only 2 months to go, and unless prices fall by 5% a month, it looks like your guarantee will be broken.....

    So how do our readers claim?

    Will you be paying them the difference for following your advice?

    Seeing as how it was "100% guaranteed".....;)
    How pathetic. If the search facility on this site were removed just what would a sad Mervyn like you find to do in the early hours of the morning? Sleep perhaps?

    He probably does what I do (albeit on a football forum) which is every time someone makes an utterly idiotic post the favourite button gets clicked for use in future gloatage.

    The solution to this, is to stop making idiotic posts.

    If you make such a stupid comment you sure as hell should be prepared to have it rammed back at you as punishment for being a moron.

    Agree. I hope for Hamish's sake that house prices don't start crashing again. If they did, he'd have so many posts rammed down his throat they he wouldn't need to eat for a month.
