Lukers1 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Just watching the rugby, love the French and Welsh anthems, give me Land of Hope and glory anyday. The Haka makes me piss too, some of the players ( who are not Maori) just look fookin retarded with the face gerning and all that. Right Im off for a full English at Hollingworth Lake.

rosa Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm with Billy Connolly on this one, we should have the theme tune from the Archers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The national anthem is great when pissed. Especially the "de de de de" bit in the middle. Bring back the old fourth verse about killing Scotsmen too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from a Royalist but it's hairs on the back of the neck stuff when 30,000 sun burnt belt it out in some far flung corner of the earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Sadly, we never did build Jerusalem in England Traveller Camp and ASBO land. Surely that is the last song we should sing. Land of Hope and Glory, I agree with Lukers, is the way to go - if we ditch the British National Anthem. Which we shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackey Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Seeing the Haka (and the Islander counterparts) live is amazing. It's scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it a few times live too with the RL teams, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time. You know it's going to be a war on the pitch.

help_shiny Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 could never stand our national anthem - there is no God and I couldnt give a toss about the Queen. Plus the tune is gash. But then I decided to stop worrying about it and life's kind of worked out since then. I do think that anyone who watches the Rugby World Cup should be stoned to death though.

oafc0000 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) If you think about it being passionate about a country is stupid enough without singing songs about it to boot... Its just a bit of land... People say religion starts wars... Its a load of bullock... Greedy beggars trying to land grab start wars for x,y and z reason. Which starts from the concept of countries and people grouping together to say we want what you have and keep your hands off ours :P Don't get me started on grown men doing silly dances on Rugby pitches either Grown to think of what makes me proud to be English, British or whatever way you want to put it. Nothing unique to be frank.... There is nothing about us other nations don't have and we have all the :censored:ty problems everyone else has. In a grump today. Just ignore me Edited September 26, 2011 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The German National Anthem is the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFhxgzkpyKI Listened to it after the Grand Prix yesterday, and I reckon it's even more dirge-like than ours. And it's just a tad arrogant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I remember always liking the Russian and Canadian ones - I always used to play as those countries on California Games on my C64 so I could hear them when I won.

Monty Burns Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 If you dont like it, simply substitute the word queen for Team. For me, this makes it much more palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
