Fat Albert Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 It's 37 years since England last won a major international tournament and I'm sick to death of losing to Australia at just about everything else (cricket, hockey, even oikball). I shall be at the rugby club at 8am for a fry up and a tipple with the fervent hope that this time they really will succeed This time is different, I'm confident but nervous, almost as if I'm involved, they have the preparation, skills and temperament, all that's needed is the rub of the green Good Luck England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elworthy Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 And just in case you don't know it all the way through: Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home; Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home. I looked over Jordan, and What did I see, Comin' for to carry me home, A band of angels comin' after me. Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home If you get there before I do Comin' for to carry me home Tell all my friends I'm comin' too Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home; Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down. Comin' for to carry me home. Yet still my soul feels heavenl'y bound, Comin' for to carry me home. Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home. I thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elworthy Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 And this one..... And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold! Bring me mychariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land. Where's the tissues ?

Chris Elworthy Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 This is for you Mr SE, or can I call you 7 Two little boys had two little toys, Each had a wooden horse, Gaily, they’d play, each summers day, Warriors both of course. One little chap then had a mishap, Broke off his horses head, Wept for his toy, then cried in joy, When his young playmate said. “Did you think I would leave you crying, when there’s room on my horse for two? Climb up here Jack, we’ll soon be flying, I can go just as fast with two! When we grow up we’ll both be soldiers, And our horses will not be toys, And I wonder if we’ll remember, When we were two little boys?” Long years past, war came so last, Bravely they marched away, Cannons roared loud and in the mad crowd, Wounded and dying lay, Up went a shout! A horse dashes out, Out from the ranks so blue, Galloped away to where Joe lay, Then came a voice he knew. “Did you think I would leave you dying, when there’s room on my horse for two? Climb up here Joe we’ll soon be flying. Back to the ranks so blue, Can you feel Joe? I’m all a tremble, Well it may be the battles noise, But I think it’s that I remember When we were two little boys”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I work for an Australian company. I have been winding the Ozzies up all week. If we don't win I am up for some serious stick. The boys just have to win tomorrow; but I'm sure they will. Trouble is, I have to take off on a business trip at 10am, so I will only see the first half and then have to listen to the second half on the radio. And, when we do win, I won't be able to wind the b*****ds up by e-mail as I can't take my laptop with me + not back until next Thursday. Sweet sorrow if we win, though.

gregh Posted November 22, 2003 Share Posted November 22, 2003 An Australian family of rugby union supporters (obviously not from Victoria) head out one Saturday to do their Christmas shopping. Whilst in a sports shop, the son picks up an England rugby shirt and says to his sister, "I've decided to be an England supporter and I would like this for Christmas". His sister is outraged by this and promptly whacks him round the head and says, "Go talk to your mother". Off goes the little lad with the white rugby shirt in hand and finds his mother. "Mum?" "Yes son?" "I've decided I'm going to be an England supporter and I would like this shirt for Christmas". The mother is outraged at this, promptly whacks him around the head and says, "Go talk to your father". Off he goes with the rugby shirt in hand and finds his father. "Dad?" "Yes son?" "I've decided I'm going to be an England supporter and I would like this shirt for Christmas". The father is outraged and promptly whacks his son around the head and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT!" About half an hour later they're all back in the car, heading towards home. The father turns to his son and says, "Son, I hope you've learned something today?" The son says, "Yes dad I have." "Good son, what is it?" The son replies, "I've only been an England supporter for an hour and already I hate you Aussie b*stards." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
