England could have a decent route to the semi finals if the other groups stay

A load of Scots went over there and tried to colonise Darien and rename it Caledonia. It is possibly one of the most inhospitable places on Earth (although pissible nicer than Glasgow) so of course the daft ****ers failed. I guess that counts as British imperialism to some extent

Of course, we blockaded it to ensure it couldn't be supplied, so they all starved. And, of course, they'd sunk pretty much their entire national wealth in this hare-brained scheme, so when it went tits up, they were brassic and came crawling to us - hence the Act of Union.

I believe the chap who was sent off in their 1st match, has already received death threats.

No harm as long as they remain only threats.

You are correct, of course. And you are quite right to correct me.

Silly thing is, I knew that.

France? Is it France?

So if I phone your wife tonight and threaten to kill her, you'll be fine with that just so long as I don't *actually* kill her?

Why do you want to kill my wife?

Any such calls received tonight and you can be 100% sure I will be providing your details, including the above email, to all concerned parties.


Ftr death threats in football are almost de rigueur in this day and age.
